When we have these people over for dinner, guess how I'm recipricating in the music department?

On the one hand, ideally speaking I would never speak to anyone who didn't immediately get that the Shaggs are a better band than anyone else on an entirely empirical, ontological level. However, I live with two people who hate the Shaggs, and most of the people whose company I keep on a frequent basis also hate the Shaggs.

On the other hand, it's not so much about 'tester' records. One of the more interesting thing to do is ask people what the most embarassing record in their collection is. Generally it's something really really good.

I don't generally trust people who have no time for 'silly' music. And this from a Wagner fan with Mahler tendencies.

The majority of my few friends listen to what some of you would deem as appaling music, but then again I rarely talk about music with my friends. It's more cocks or more superficial stuff like that. I find myself bored talking a lot about music all the time in the flesh. I prefer talking about art in general but without namedropping a lot, or my brain switches off.

You and I, Glice, would, I'm sorry to say, have to part company immediately upon utterance of the words "on an entirely empirical, ontological level."

Ha. What grave misgivings! What fateful tides! What baleful infortuities!

Here is where I like reading about music

Please use regular English with me. Short, one-syllable words are best. & write them slowly so I'll be sure to understand.

Looks like it might be a bit too oriented to the youth movement.

It's oriented TO SHOUTING ABOUT HOW BRILLIANT THINGS ARE for about ten minutes until you get REALLY BORED OF THEM and decide they are LITERALLY THE WORST THING EVER etc.

On a more serious note, I do fucking love that website and it has entirely taken control of my ability to talk about music without getting really excited and saying etc at the end of everything etc.

The ads bother me. All those kids with hair and skinny bodies and tight shirts. It's... awkward for me.

same here.

Imagine if they were to press all the buttons in the studio. What would you do?

I would say, "Hey, you kids. What are you doing pressing all the buttons in the studio for? Now get out of here, scram, before I call your parents."

Something like that.

I wanna fuck you up and get high!

everybody needs an antibody.

Umm not really, but you can tell a bit from people's music tastes. Like people who like Nevermind over In Utero are generally the more casual Nirvana fans. Just small things like that.

Those fucking photobucket motherfuckers!!! They deleted an image from my album.

after long thoughts, i dunno if i could be friends with someone who doesn't like secret chiefs 3.

The only time I play music for any of my friends is when we're in my car, and even then, I usually take out whatever I was listening to and turn on the radio.

what about those of us who prefer Bleach?

I know the feeling.
when I get in my car with friends they can only handle like one and a half songs opff of my ALBINI compilation (big black, shellac, rapeman)
