UNDERWATER MUSIC

Is there some big popular band out there whose thing is that they sound like dogs let loose in a swimming pool?

It's just that my niece is currently listening to something that sounds like an underwater recording of a DJ fighting off some splashing canines, who have been drawn into the local leisure centre by the high-pitched squeals of his steadily sinking equipment.

If this is the new thing, it might make music-making easier for the rest of us, I suppose. We no longer have that ongoing pesky annoyance of actually practising instruments or arranging ourselves to be melodious! Get a life, Grandad! 

Nope, we can all abandon that useless talent stuff along with our old-fashioned sense of dedication, theory, lyrics, poetry and musicianship, and just plunge our waterproof iPhones (set to record) into the water butt, while shouting like angry lifeguards trying to round up the residents of the local kennels.

I don't think it's for me, this brave new world of underwater music.
