I DON'T LIKE THE BEATLES - There. I said it.

No I'm not kidding. I really don't.

It annoys me that when you tell someone that, they'll start this long condescending monologue about how you haven't "matured" into it yet, or haven't "discovered" the right song.

Maybe I've heard enough of their songs to have reached this conclusion.

Maybe, just maybe, I want to listen to bands that I don't have to spend years "maturing in to" and have more than just "the right song".

Have a look at this page if you don't believe me that saying "I'm not fond of The Beatles" gets you a load of shit. http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-Hate-The-Beatles/254699572296

People act like if you don't like The Beatles then you are musically ignorant, and your opinion is null and void. I'm not ignorant. I listen to a lot of music. And old music too. I love Peggy Lee, Elvis, The Ink Spots, The Beach Boys, The Who, The Cure, Black Sabbath, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra (Oh and a cheeky bit of Elton) - I'm not some kind of dunce who lives and dies by what's in the top 40.

Frankly I just don't like The Beatles. I don't like their voices (or the hair for that matter). And honestly I'd maintain nothing more than a respectful indifference to them if people didn't get so righteous about it.

While I'm here I might as well admit a few other things too. I don't care for Guns and Roses. ABBA and The Monkees make me homicidal. I don't think Lady Gaga or Madonna are musical "Idols", and I'm honestly not sure I've ever even listen to Rolling Stones.

I mean, I'm happy The Beatles existed, they inspired a lot of other bands that I do listen to. I'm not even here to say they're over-rated, because if people get so freaking pretentious about them, they must be doing something right for the other 99%. I'm just saying they're not for me. And that doesn't make me a leper.

"But they're the best selling band ever!" - look at how Twilight does at the box office and then tell me that statement actually means something.

If you don't like it, go f**k Luigi in the ass...

Ok so that last blog will be a bloody hard act to follow. It pretty much tripled my blog visits O.o I've literally been too scared to write now, because nothing I can say will be as good :P So I've been sexing up the site itself instead :)

Anyway, I wanted to talk to you all about Katy Perry. Previously in this post, I slagged her off no end. HOWEVER, my opinion of her has now changed. My unnatural hatred has been turned into respect, and here's why: She included Rebecca Black in her music video, which, her decision or not, was a pretty classy thing to do. (Yes I did just say "classy". Deal with it.) I've always felt bad for dear ol' Rebecca, I mean, that appalling song wasn't really her fault. She's a victim of what the music industry is becoming, and more importantly, her record company. It's not her we should be abusing, its the label that pushed her into recording the world's worst song. (Although there was apparently a choice of two songs... So imagine how bad the other one must have been...) So yeah, having her in the video earned back my respect, which obviously means Katy Perry can retire now, having fulfilled this crucial goal.

T.G.I.N.F.

On the other hand, I notice the Wii is boasting more add-ons to improve the functionality of the controllers, and is mass-advertising this new technology at present. Am I the only person who thinks they are taking the piss?! Nintendo are making you idiots shell out tons of cash for stuff that frankly it was supposed to ALREADY do when it was released! Why are you having to pay AGAIN for something THEY didn't follow through on?! Thus I will not dignify the Wii with ever acknowledging it's existence again after this post. I will never touch one of the bloody things again, controllers, EXPENSIVE ADD-ONS and all, let alone play a GAME on one. (Although frankly I couldn't anyway. The graphics make me want to go on a killing spree.) So I hope you all enjoy your expensive devices that do what an arcade could do with House of the Dead in the 90s. The Wii is dead to me. It's pretty much made by Satan.

There. Rant over. :)
