Ok, another pointless meme (because I’m bored and waiting for some email to come in) and this time it’s the Soundtrack to My Life. (more…)

I’ve just seen not one, but two - in a row, advertisements on the TV for football related music CDs. Come On England for the casual sport-obsessed xenophobic eejit, and Jumpers For Goalposts possibly for the more discerning, and perhaps slightly less xenophobic but probably just as socially inept, breed of same.

The thing that really got me riled, apart from the obvious jumping of the Euro football marketing wankfest bandwagon/gravytrain, is the blatently and disturbingly awful songs rendered over the top of the score to Come On Eileen by Dexy’s Midnight Runners. Egads! Is nothing sacred from the tainting of cultural substance by pathetically obvious, tired and spurious self-indulgence of football marketing?

Will it ever fucking end?[1]

[1] This is rhetorical. The answer is yes, in about 2 weeks, and no, it’ll be back again in 2 years(?) for the World Cup and 4 years(?) for more Euro crap.
