And today I heard one of the most useless -- an interview with a British 
singer who spontaneously composes her half-spoken songs in the studio. 
Hm, I guess that's why she has yet to come up with a hook, and why her 
‘music’ is ripped from Motown and disco records and an old TR-81 drum 
machine. And also why it is crap.

Every time NPR does one of these things with a just-got-signed or 
just-came-overseas musician I write them e-mails practically begging 
that they actually do some legwork and find some indie artists who are 
actually making great music that SHOULD be popular, rather than check 
out which promo CD came from RCAWarnerUniversalSonyAOLViacomEtc. and 
schedule an interview. (I'm more polite, though.) No one has ever 
returned my e-mails; I guess working at an NPR affiliate station my 
opinion doesn't count.

... and stay tuned as NPR interviews a big movie star you're sick of 
hearing from for the eighteenth time this week... tonight it's Clint 
Eastwood and Ben Affleck!

TGIF. No news for me on the weekends. :D
