Music on the weekends
October 1st 2006 01:31
My eldest child spends every second weekend at his biological father's house. As much as I love the kid, I also love these weekends because it means in the mornings I get to hold the remote! Instead of horrible cartoons and children's shows I can regress to my teenage years and watch hours of music videos. I can get the heads up on the fahions, the styles of music, who seems to be hot this second, and for a few hours in a fortnight I can feel with it. Hey I'm not just some daggy mum, I actually know who sings Bossy. It's Kelis. And yeah of course I knew patent leather pants are in ala Little BIrdy. Not to mention I am completely and totally well aware of the fact that I hate Axel Whitehead. I wish he were a hwitehead so I could squeeze him off the face of the Earth.
The man is so absorbed with himself it drives me crazy. He asks his guests questions and then answers them himself. Case in point - this morning. He was interviewing Amy Lee, from Evanescence and asked "If you could chose anyone dead or alive to make up your dream band who would you chose?" and as she was inhaling to speak he said "I would chose Freddy Mercury for lead singer... blah blah blah" and kept talking over the girl when she tried to speak. Another case in point of his self obsession and promotion was giving Pari Hilton a shirt that read "I love Axel". And at any opportunity he can he mentions his own band, and tries to 'jam' with every artist. AXEL YOU FAILED ON IDOL!! NO ONE WANTS YOU AS A MUSICIAN! Just ask the bloody questions and look cute for godsake.
Please, please, please research before interviews. I ams ick of hearing you mispronounce names or make faux pas. Forever seared into my memory, right down the back where I also keep the sight of my parents haviung sex, lives Axel's Rihanna interview. He asked her something along the lines of "Why do you think such great music comes form your country? You, Sean Paul..." I cringed, I threw an orange at the screen. There was that pause where Rihanna's constant smile almost faltered before in her sweet sweet tones she said "Sean Paul is from Jamaica, I'm from Barbados."
He's giving me bloodclots.
My favourite Axel moment was when interviewing some obscure band he asked them what they thought of things like Idol. Obviously these guys have no idea who Axel is (or they are just the coolest guys in the world) but they proceeded to bag out Idol constestants saying that it is just a platform for young people who want attention.
