I know what you mean, wizardofodd. In the common room at school, somebody decided being in sixth form that we should have a radio and it is permenantly tuned to Galaxy radio
Every song sounds exactly the same: dance music with a really heavy pumping beat that's all we can hear, being at the other end of the room to the radio. During a free period, if it's on, all you get for an hour is that same beat that drives you mad and makes you want to bang your head on the table to the beat of the music until you die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To get an idea what it's like, try lightly hitting your fist on the side of your forehead, and that's it to a tee
Wish personal CD players could reach a louder volume
