I catch some of the new stuff and admittedly at times it can seem quite  
good or catchy; perhaps what I meant to say in a less tongue in cheek  
voice was that nothing that's come out after 1990 is memorable for me  
(unless cover/produced...) I just don't find myself humming anything  
recent. IDK so much seems to have been tailored and tweaked to such a  
gleaming 'perfection' it doesn't seem like music to me. Closest I've got  
is the catch in Beyonce's Crazy in Love and I swear I've heard that before  
a long time ago.

Oh side-track one of the things about getting stuck in stupid queues is  
realising that of the 7 minute long Hey Jude the last 4 minutes of it is  
just Na na na's :-)
