[4] Idiots Getting Drunk

Atticus didn't like pop music –even when it was being performed by the greatest musician across all four realms, the archangel of music himself, Lucy Feral.

Most of the time, Atticus turned up his nose whenever he heard the obnoxious tones of modern music. Everything in pop music felt like it always followed the exact same four chords, repeating over and over and over until the listener felt physically sick. The singers always sounded like they were whining and complaining about their own romantic misfortunes. With the added metallic buzz of auto tune, and the cheap back-track produced by a computer instead of actual musicians, none of the songs Atticus had ever listened to were even the slightest bit bearable. Which was why he stuck to lonesome cello music.
