Bruno Mars is Overplayed and I am Sick of Hearing Him Already

   I noticed that radio stations tend to play Bruno Mars all the time. Well I am sick of it. In fact I am sick of it to the point that I want to throw up or shoot my radio. In my opinion and guesstimate I believe he is played on the radio around 95% of the day. You know Bruno Mars really grinds my gears. If I am not mistaken he used to be a songwriter for other artists. He should have never became a singer, he should have stayed a songwriter. The fact that annoys me is that there are thousands upon thousands of other songs that can be played instead of Bruno Mars.
    Whenever a radio station plays The Lazy Song for instance, I switch the station. If the station that I switched to is playing the same song, I push the CD button in the car so I can listen to Born This Way by Lady Gaga. I find it funny that my mother is sick of Lady Gaga and I am sick of Bruno Mars and my mom doesn't care about him. Sometimes my mom says that the radio station plays the same songs over and over again which is true. Why is Bruno Mars overplayed? Maybe its the fact that he is a popular artist. Or is it a government music torture conspiracy to annoy the daylights out of radio listeners. Another thing that I cant stand about Bruno Mars is the music video for The Lazy Song. Not only do I find this music video to be racist because he is dancing with chimps. I don't want to go into extreme detail about it.
       When I wake up in the morning I will turn on the TV to watch Jump Start on VH1 which is a show that shows music videos. Even there I can't get away from him. Especially when they show his music videos. If I feel lazy and don't want to change the channel, I will play MST3K while watching his music video. Playing MST3K or Mystery Science Theater 3000 the long way is when you crack jokes at a movie or TV show or music video to make the pain go away.
        Bruno Mars is a great songwriter that's the only positive thing I can say about him. Other than that, he is annoying to hear every 10 minutes on the radio. He is way too overrated. If you have read my older post about the bands or artists that I hate, you probably noticed that he is at the number one spot on the list. So Here's a tip for radio DJ's out there. Stop Playing Bruno Mars. Play some other artist out there there's like a million of them to choose from.

Why I Still Buy CDs

A Lady Gaga CD
  When was the last time you bought a CD. Seriously think about it. The answer for many of us is probably never if you got an iPod. Well I can tell you this, I still buy CDs all the time. I am buying the deluxe edition of Born This Way on Monday.
   Many people don't buy CDs anymore because they have an iPod or some type of MP3 player. The reason why I still buy CDs is partially the fact that I don't have an iPod. Why don't I have one? I don't have one due to the fact that I DESPISE Apple products. I think that they are overrated and are another thing to get broken inside of my pocket.
   The second reason I still buy CDs is the fact that I prefer a physical copy over a digital one. Why you ask? Well a physical copy of an album is always there, It can't be deleted or destroyed if something happens to your iPod or MP3 player.
    My third reason I still buy CDs is because I want to support the record store, which is a dying trend. The FYE in the Laurel Mall closed down in January 2011. I tend to support the local independent record stores over the big box ones. I rarely get to go out of town to shop at another FYE which is 28 miles from my house and with the price of gas it would be a waste if I didn't come back with a CD.
     Finally I still buy CDs because I am old school. I don't care about iPods or iPhones or Zunes or iTunes. All I care about is having a physical copy of an album. By the way did you know that Rhianna's new album Loud has a parental advisory label and that you can't buy the physical copy of Loud with the parental advisory label? You can only get the uncensored version digitally. I believe that this is giving people who buy CDs the middle finger.

I Hate Auto-Tune

  One of the things that gives me a headache is Auto-Tune. And if you're thinking that it might be a tumor. It's not a tumor. It's not a tumor at all. It's the fact that Auto-Tune is overused and it makes me want to vomit. Here's why I want to go back in time and stop the person from inventing this garbage.
  1. It is misused. Ok Auto-Tune is overused a lot by many of today's artists. The purpose of Auto-Tune is pitch correction, for when you sing out of tune, it corrects your vocal pitch to sound correctly. Many artists think that they are cool by using this to enhance their voice for their songs. When artists use Autotune to distort their vocals it makes their music even worse.
  2. Rebecca Black. You probably know who Rebecca Black is by know. Her music video for her song Friday is a perfect example of how Auto-Tune is overused. I will also add the fact that her video has more dislikes than likes on YouTube. Rebecca Black is the reason why Auto-Tune should be banned. She overused Auto-Tune in her song. For the record I disliked the video myself. I think that this song should be used for torture uses in Guantanamo Bay. This song will make the prisoners hang themselves. I guarantee it.
  3. Rappers. Another pet peeve of mine is that terrible rappers who are already terrible to begin with use Auto-Tune. Why do they need to enhance their vocals when their songs are already terrible? It doesn't make the song any better. As a matter of fact this is one of the reasons I don't care for rap that much to begin with. Artists like the Black Eyed Peas are a good example of this. If you wasted your time watching the god awful halftime show for the 2011 Superbowl, you'll see what I mean. Without Auto-Tune they couldn't sing to save their lives. I do have one of their CD's, although I rarely listen to it because I'll get an Auto-Tune Headache. Another artist I can't stand is T-Pain, he overuses this garbage also.
  What Can You Do To Stop Auto-Tune? Complain to your congressman or senator and tell them that Auto-Tune is Ruining Music. They Might just make an amendment to the US Constitution that will ban Auto-Tune. Or you can stop buying albums of artists that use Auto-Tune to tell them that they should stop using Auto-Tune. They might learn a lesson.
