A little rambling...

First off, I just wanted to share the horror: Watching The Weather Channel a few days ago, the music playing under the Local on the 8s (accurate and dependable), was an elevator music version of Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want by The Smiths. I think this is the first time I've ever heard an elevator version of an '80s alternative tune. I have, in the past, been surprised to hear bad instrumental versions of such songs as Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall, and Led Zeppelin's What is and What Should Never Be (talk about the irony).

Are there any elevator music related horrors you've experienced? I'd love to see some comments on that.

I just also wanted to mention that things are busy, and getting busier around the Classic Alternative Blog home base, and so, having built up a pretty good body of work this last three months, I am giving myself permission to cut back on posting. Many thanks to those of you who check the blog regularly -- please keep checking. I do intend to post at least four times per week -- the regular stuff, and I'm always keeping an eye on the music news, so I'll let you know if something big happens -- eventually Morrissey et al will need the money and a Smiths reunion tour will happen, right?

Thanks,
mel
