Mobile phone soundsytems

So, I'm sitting on a bus, minding me own, when the world famous Mobile Phone soundsystem sits behind me. What an honour. Luckly, they decided to give an impromtu one off set. Whoohoo!!! Lucky me. I wonder if they've got any R KELLY.

Now don't get me wrong, I love a tune. God knows, I love a dance but come on... Mobile phones are called such because they're designed for making and recieving calls. THEY ARE NOT CALLED MOBILE SOUNDSYSTEMS FOR A VERY GOOD REASON... THEY SOUND TERRIBLE.

So after one formulaic R n B track after another, we get a sound clash... Team Samsung get on. But they're into grime... terrible grime... with no bass. Rather predictably, a loud argument ensues over who has the right to play no bass, crap music for the, ahem, entertainment of the other passengers. Fantastic.

"Here's an idea!" I said after enduring this intollerable cacophony for long enough. "Why don't you all clear off?!" delivered in my best old codger tone. The odd thing about is was, they actually did a minute of silence later. All except one of the original team, who thought he had a new pal. On yer bike son.
