Since Neil Tennant is there, let's remember something he said in an interview once. It's important to hate pop music to make great pop music.
It's important that people be bored by art. That's what keeps art interesting.

You go to a thrift store. 90% of the clothes there are horrible and manky. But if you persist, you just know that there's one garment somewhere which is going to change your life.

You need to be bored with sex (those long stretches of boredom between orgasm and the next tingle) to get interested in sex again. Oh wow, this!

Art is junk-treasure you can ransack for ideas-pleasure. But pleasure can never be guaranteed.

Last night I went to five gallery openings in Kreuzberg and saw only boring work. Then I came home, went online, and read an essay about 80s conceptual pop band Sudden Sway and got extremely excited, immediately planning to make their career into a West End musical.

Who knows from which direction the tiger of excitement will pounce out at your boredom, tearing it to pieces? All we can say is that it probably will happen.
