Soul Tainting

Somethings are so utterly annoying by their very nature, that they taint our very souls. They are just put upon this earth to make our life that little less happy, to make our journey through life that little bit harder.

Some examples of what I mean are listed here.

Being put on hold
Missing the last train home
The M25
Angela's Sat Nav replies (See 'get lost' post)

However, I must warn you all that our collective souls are about to be assulted by a new record that is being released. I was flicking through the radio stations today, and happened upon this vile spew emminating from my speakers. Cliff Richard (if that wasn't bad enough) has teamed up with Daniel O' Donnell and released 'Yesterday Once More'.

It is the worst kind of soppy, over bearing sh!ite I have ever heard, and believe me, I have heard some sh!te in my time (I was in a band), so I am qualified to know what Im talking about. It is fair to say that Cliff shouldn't be worried about the copyrights running out on his early 'hits', because no musician worth their salt would consider ripping his music off. Looks like he 'sucked Tony Blair's Stump' this year for nothing earlier this year!

Anyway, Cliff, do the world a favour, don't make anymore music - ever. Stop tainting our souls. That goes for you too, O friggin Donnell.

Delays on the tube when you're supposed to meet someone at a certain time and there's no damn cell phone reception when you're on the bloody underground!!! Or air conditioning for that matter!

Grrrrr gnashing teeth!

You see, Michelle, all these things are tainting your soul. And all can be found in London :-) Glad to see you posting again - you just have to persuade your lazy ass friend, Lis to do the same :-D

You were in a band? I never knew that. What were you called? (That's a collective "you")

'We' were called Group Therapy, and I was the drummer (sometime understudy) for one gig at my last places' christmas do two years ago.

I drummed a mean 'Closing Time' and I subscribed to the school of thought that says 'the louder the better' :-)


I would like to buy myself a set of drums, but Im not sure where I would practice

If you didn't have some connection with Cliff or one of his partners on this record you would not have known about it. So why are you bloggin your venom all over the internet? If you don't like the record, don't buy it! Obviously your band didn't last. It is usually the ones who want to but can't who are the meanest critics.

Hello Anon, whom ever you may be. If you read a couple of posts ago, you will know my mum loved Cliff, so I was brought up on him. Also, my old mother in law loved Mr O'Donnell, so when I heard them both crooning, I knew immediately who it was.

As for blogging my venom - if you actually re-read the post, you will notice it is done in a light-hearted tongue in cheek humourous way, but maybe humour and fun are somehow lost on you?

As for *my* band, I was the stand in drummer in a group of people who got together from work to place at a christmas do, the very thought of us making it to the big time has me laughing here. Maybe you want to see the DVD posted on here?!

That is so like Cliff to remain anonomous!

phil said...

it could always be someone who is maybe known to us trying to cause mischief.

Mark T said...

No, it wasn't her, she posted to say it wasn't, but I rejected it anyway!

i didnt mean anyone in particular, i just meant someone.
