I hate washing up. Which is why I have a dishwasher. But for reasons that are not exactly too lengthy to explain, but would lure me into an orgy of cursing my plumber and my electrician that I fear I would never emerge from, I can't use my dishwasher at the moment, so I have been reduced to washing all my dishes by hand. The only way to survive - aside from stacking the dirty dishes very neatly so that they don't look as threatening - is to listen to the radio while washing up. And so, this morning, cleaning up after dinner for four last night, I discovered - thanks to Huey on 6 music - the absolutely perfect music for washing up to. You can boogie as you scrub, it's full of resentment, and it even has housework-related lyrics. It's A Town Called Malice (do do do do do do!):

That's good washing-up music. I usually go for dense, repetitive stuff when cleaning, but something with a good beat is recommended. also the organ adds to things. *witters on for hours*
I empathize. In our current (rented) house, the only plumbing for the dishwasher is in the (detached) garage next to the washing machine.
This means that to use the dishwasher, I spend a lot of time traversing the courtyard with bowls/trays of dirty dishes. Kind of like working in a cafe, but less fun and no tips.
I can only do washing up in silence when the baby's asleep. She's at the age where she likes to grab at things. 'Nuff said!
