if a song is good, doesnt matter what style it is. if its been done before, it just means its gotta be done better to catch my attention. i dont stop listening to anything. i just listen to more variety. anyway, how can you call skam boring? at least they arent trying to pander to a market. it baffles me that a tune can "become" boring. sounds to me like you just overplayed it. vary your diet! --- Michael Upton <jetjag@paradise.net.nz> wrote:
