Eternal Underground music sucks !

Eternal underground music sucks

What is it with the popular belief that if a band becomes commercially successful, they become a sell-out and that their music is not worth listening to anymore because millions of people now listen to it, and oh-God-forbid, it is played on the radio.

Yes, I know, Ive read the recent stories of radio DJ’s being payed of to play songs over and over, but does that really mean that if people listen to a song over and over, they are going to like it over time? Is the human race really that stupid?

Yes, songs are overplayed and many times killed by radio. Songs that you thought were good the first hundred times you heard them, but by the 500th time, you just change the station. Songs overplayed to the extent that if you listen to that song again, you might stab yourself with a dull knife (…and the reason is youuuuuuuuu…). Ok, now its in my head…where’s that knife…

I’m not talking about lip-synced pop music. I’m talking about mainstream rock (in its many variations). If the band you like has been an “underground” band for many years, they suck. Any band that tells you that they want More >

Swollen Uvula

First of all..I’m gonna define what an uvula is..its that thingy that hangs in the back of your troath. Yeah…that piece of dangling tissue that is seen in cartoons when characters scream.

So, every once in a while I get the case of the swollen uvula…you think you need to spit…your throat feels funny, and eating anything is kinda painful. It sucks. So, today, I decided to do a little research. First I had to find the name of that thingy. At last…after searching “throat anatomy” and “mouth anatomy” I found out its called uvula (grape = uva in latin).

Back to my uvula. So every once in a while..I’d wake up with an uvula the size of a thumb. Sometimes I had been drinking the night before…sometimes…no drinking involved. So after reading a couple websites, I found out that there are several causes and no real remedies.

Causes: Infeccion Dryness Dehydration (that explains the drinking part of it)

Remedies: Water…plenty of water Others suggest Aspirin or Advil..but I kinda doubt that works

So…I figured out why my uvula becomes swollen. Its probably because I snore, my mouth dries up..and that thing becomes the size of a grape. I’m gonna try to sleep sideways to More >
