Today I woke up and didn’t feel like doing nothing (except use double negatives) so I’ve spent most of the day in front of the television. And except for seeing two movies I probably wouldn’t have seen otherwise, I accidentally switched over right in time for a program that should replace all education in modern music – the VH1 special “100 Top One Hit Wonders”. First of all it was a great nostalgia trip seeing all those videos and stuff, but more than that it was very, very informative with all trivia and “then what” info. I picked up alot of trivia info that’s probably useless, like Marlyn Manson’s “Tainted Love” is, ofcourse, a cover of Soft Cell’s, but I had no idea that Soft Cell’s wasn’t the original, it was a cover too! The only bad thing about the show was that it was very US so there were some artists there that I don’t think belonged there, like Sinead O’Conner, A-Ha and The Cardigans. And the fact that William Shatner was hosting it was just right up my humor-alley!
Btw, did I tell you about the great musical lesson in classical music we got back in high school? Our teacher pulled in the TV, flipped on “Amadeus” and three hours later – end of class 🙂 And somehow I ended up preferring Beethoven…
As you may or may not have noticed, I’ve cut 99% of the 2002 entries and saved them here so you can read about my 2002. But it’s really not that interesting…
