content: Atomic14 is one of the electronics channels I enjoy watching on Youtube. His most recent couple of videos were about him fixing an AliExpress "game console"; the costs-5-EUR kind of console :-)...but what was truly INCREDIBLE was a tune he embedded in the second one of them; arguably, the Best Ever Electronics Anthem (TM):"Fix it up, matey!"After speaking with him in his video's comments, I made a standalone page on my blog with the song and the lyrics - enjoy!https://www.thanassis.space/anthem.html

content: Modern pop music. Typical of this modern pop music is the brain-dead chorus, which consists only of some random vowels, probably meant to be catchy or something, that are preferably sung even more out of tune than the verses, and a total lack of tonal liveliness which probably stems from copying and pasting 4 bars to make up a 3.5 minute song. The lyrics are often nothing more than first person centred ramblings documenting the superficial dealings of a narcistic "song" writer. No jokes, no humor, no poetry, no criticism, no imagination,...no surprises. Just deadness in cans. Much like sardines in oil, staring at you through a tin layer of oil.
