Actually, it’s been quite some time. I think it started with not knowing (or wanting to know) who Dua Lupa was. Someone recently suggested it’s “Dua Lipa”, and I just shrugged when I wrote that. Shrugged again as I typed it now. Because honestly—I didn’t, and still don’t, care enough to even fix the typo.

That’s how little I know about music these days.

Pretty much anyone who came after Beyoncé or Taylor Swift? Drawing a complete blank. Apart from the occasional standout song, I have no idea who’s who anymore.

Earlier today, I spent far too long searching for a decent cover of “God Only Knows” by the Beach Boys for a Sing-a-long Friday. There were heaps of them, but I didn’t recognise a single artist. The Darzis? George Clements? Mona Lisa Twins? Kris Allen? Who are these people?

(That’s a rhetorical question. Please don’t answer it. I don’t actually want to know.)

Music these days. GET OFF MY LAWN.

Oh—and in case you missed it—BTS are officially out of military service (just waiting for Suga), so our regularly scheduled adoration of Korean men singing catchy pop songs will resume shortly.
