my favorite is watching their faces while i rattle off names of japanese and finnish bands i like.
or they say "...right..." thinking i'm making up names like kemialliset ystävät and kousokuya...seriously, i once had a "you're messing with me, right? those can't be bandnames"...fuck, i once got a dirty look when i started naming my favorite free jazzers to someone who was into JAZZ!!! (and not easy listening jazz, trane and miles and that!!!!) "kaoru abe, peter brötzmann, WOT?"
...come to think of it, that's happened to me twice now!!! (this guy who was super into pharaoh sanders and zorn and stuff but gave me dirty looks when mentioning abe, brötzmann and bailey; and this other girl who hasn't heard later coltrane or late 60's miles even).
