How about day-cribber. With no apologies to the Beatles.

Which reminds me. Yesterday I took the kids for a walk and there were some pre-teens in the park with a boom box. The noise coming from the boom box reminded me of the time I heard the delivery truck full of empty trash cans (bins) collide with the truckful of pigs. I made a comment to the kids that I felt no good music had been made since the day John Lennon was killed. Believe it or not, the kids asked, "Who's John Lennon?"
