Ummm ... isn't the phrase "like a broken record" somewhat anachronistic now?
I mean the younger generation laughs at music on a CD ... let alone a cassette ... or an 8track ... or a ... well ... record.
Maybe the DJ community can keep the phrasing meaningful for just a little bit longer, so as to not confuse the kiddies. Or maybe we should just change it now to "like an iPod that won't shuffle".
[*These* are the things that occupy my mind ...]
