Music has its place
Ok, I'm the first to admit that I dig music: I have opinions on it; I have an unnatural obsession with soundtracks; I suck at naming songs and bands; I sing the wrong words; I play the radio too loud in the car; I openly abuse my iPod. Music at home is great, music at work is a requirement, music in the car is non-negotiable, but music on the web is SO not welcome.
Remember the old days when you'd land on someone's homemade website and they'd have some cheesy font and some horrid ring-tone of a song playing in the background? We'd laugh, we'd put the speakers on mute and we'd think, how quaint. Well, that quaintness is smacking me with a vengeance.
I love "Grey's Anatomy" and read the writer's blog religiously but I rarely visit the site because of the theme song that would always scare the crap out of me and alert my office mates that I wasn't working at that exact second. Not cool. Let me enjoy my McDreamy, let me look at the clothes in the last episode in peace, d*mn you! ABC web people listen up - make the lambs stop screaming and make the theme song stop playing!
Ok, fine. I've trained myself to turn off the speakers before hitting the main show page. But, that's the extent of my training. Tonight, I'm skanking around the internet (yeah, 'cause that's how I roll on a Saturday night), listening to Law & Order, seeing what the kids are up to on MySpace and holy crap, every time I find myself on someone's profile (not one of my friends mind you), I'm being attacked by music. Annoying music. So not cool.
I have one exception. People who have music streaming & available on the web and let you decide if you want to listen to it, yeah, they're cool. Seriously.
Those of you who take my freedom of choice away from me, you suck. Stop it.

Not quite as bad, but *almost* as bad are the idjits whose sites resize my browser window to FULL SCREEN. Look, bitch - if I wanted to view your crapass site full screen, I'd maximize the window. Don't f!ck with my computer. Ugh.
