As I have mentioned before, the Malaysian education system, I suspect, actively deters those unfortunate enough to go through it (which means a vast majority of Malaysians) to become highly-opinionated individuals. In order to counter this worryingly unhealthy phenomena, all of us have to strive to become more and more open-minded and above all, vociferously critical. If some find this a radical suggestion, let it be.
Today I want to talk about eople who put songs on their blogs. Selfish, self-centred people. It might sound harsh and blunt but that's the way things get productive. People who put songs or any form or genre of music on their blogs, might be doing so with a good intention, actually. There are also people who do so merely because they enjoy listening to that particular song so much they want other (unfortunate) people to listen to it and fall in love with it.
The former kind of bloggers are those that we can probably forgive. And then it's a matter of taste. For example, some people put up motivational songs/religious songs/soothing music. While all of those might have a positive effect on the mind when appropriately played (right time, right place), they can also sound annoying to differing individuals. Again, it is a matter of taste.
What that really annoys us is the latter kind of bloggers who put a song on their blog just because 1) they think it's cool to put songs on their blog 2) they enjoy listening to those particular songs so much they wanna share the joy and other reasons that only they could think up of.
Imagine listening to Mahler Sixth, so heart-achingly beautiful and sonorous yet broodingly tragic. AND an electric guitar (playing fff) slams into the plethora of ghostly harmonies. It is truly, rudeness in it's most vulgar, disruptive and annoying form. That was exactly what happened to me just now. But it is not the first time. It will not be the last either. There are many many bloggers in cyberspace out there who don't realise the inconsiderateness of their actions. It is really, extremely rude to disturb another person's music. So please, refrain from posting music up your blog.

Hey just a thought, if you don't like the music posted on their blog why do you even visit their blog anyway? You should be expecting the unexpected if you are visiting a blog for the first time. It's people's blog so they have the right to put whatever music they like. Not everyone is a classical music person you see, after all they're just bloggers. It's their space, their freedom. Just like how you wouldn't like someone complaining about your blog layout just because they do not like the colours and claims that you've just damaged their sense of vision. Again, no offense alright. Peace out.
