My Parents are Cooler Than I Am

The last time I spoke to my father he mentioned he'd lately bought Nelly Furtado and Christina Aguilera's latest CDs. Meanwhile, my mother has taken up an interest in Justin Timberlake and Hinder. And me? My current musical interest is... the Beatles. (The Easter Bunny brought me two Beatle CDs. :-)) Also The Feeling (very mellow - reminds me of Travis) but mainly Beatles. How strange it is when your parents are more current with the music scene than you are!

Actually, though, one great use of TiVo I've found is to record MTV or VH1 early in the morning (i.e. about the only time they still show videos) and then fast-forward until a good one comes on. It's a tedious process with little success (VH1 has about a dozen videos it's very, very fond of that repeat continually. Jump Start lasts 4 hours every weekday, and by the end some videos have been shown 3x) but it works for me since I don't listen to radio.
