Nevermind The Buzzcocks
I have been watching this show off and on for three weeks now (you can located episodes on youtube if anyone is interested)
It was kind of funny to watch it from start to now, as it was the late 90's, and seemed that it got a bit sillier as the years passed, meaning the host was kind of serious at the beginning, and while there were jokes and punchlines, it seemed that they took the game a little more seriously. Now (I am in season 16) I am not even sure how they manageto come up with an answer between all the snarky comments, and goofing on guests and team captains. I mean, Mark is very quick witted, and that amuses me (his laugh when, its genuine is like a hiccup - it makes me laugh)
I will say though, that I adore Mark Lamarr as host, and I was sad when he wasnt on anymore, replaced by guests and then Simon Amsell - who is funny in his own right, but it seems like the show went from a quiz about music to a 30 minute comedy routine with some music thrown in. But I guess it makes sense; if the British are anything like Americans, they have a 7 second attention span; if you arent being entertained, you change the channel
I do enjoy music, and I wish that I had a sadellite radio (to listen to any station in the world, in real time, in my home)
I am also thinking of traveling to England, and trying to get a job there. Maybe I will do stand-up, or bartending, or researching. *laughs*
And while I am at it, I am going to locate Mark Lamarr and put him in my pocket.
