Misery Wednesday

A couple of weeks ago we did a thread on what's exciting you about music at the moment.

Here's its inverse: what's annoying you about music at the moment, and why? I'm tempted to ban discussion of Kate Nash upfront - anyway I'm not really after specific acts, more the trends and ideas that make those acts' popularities a bad thing.

And - what do you think could be done about it (if anything)?

(Orgafun update: the missing Pop Open player has been located and a track is hopefully on its way)

"Baby girl" is Tim's thing though, he says "baby girl" on EVERY SINGLE ONE of his tracks and it's a bit wearing now.

(The actual roots/reason for this - Baby Girl was Aaliyah's actual real nickname, and I think Tim constantly using it is his way of saying "never forget Aaliyah".)

The teepee line is terrible though.

The Aaliyah thing makes sense - I think he might have lost sight of when it's use is actually appropriate. Out of context though it REALLY winds me up, it feels like Tim is a patronising old giffer applauding little MIA for doing so well ARRRRRRGH.
