A non-routine update in the middle of the night in a laser lab while basking in the marvelousness of Bardo Pond's new album "On the Ellipse". People aged sixteen and under should not be allowed to record and release music. It should be a law, like the driving age or the age of majority. I decided this while watching (the otherwise enjoyable) MTV Europe, during the video for "Everybody Cha Cha" by Cecil, Johnny and Caro (sp? Does it matter? Who cares? I don't). There's not a single piece of music made by a sub-sixteener that isn't watered down from the norm. So why create it in the first place? To provide crushes for eight year old girls whose older brothers have ugly friends? In this case, the three brats and their music label sugar daddies were peddling a watered down hip-hop latin boy-band hybrid. Music can't get any more watered down than that. That's like going to your nearest student trashy pub hangout bar slum hall (where the beer is already watered down, obviously), drinking seven beers, holding out on breaking the seal, and finally pissing into your eighth beer to water it down even more.

Now that's watered down.
