i like miles davis alright but jazz never moved me.

jazz isn't really emotional, it's intellectual, thus the elitist attitude

I used to hate the stuff, but the unconventional rhythms and complex structures have me coming back for more. I like my jazz hard lemonade style: the plain drink is the genre in question (rock, metal, etc.) and the jazz is the boozy stuff you add in that takes the experience of drinking it to another level.

you like food metaphors, huh?

didn't you do a steak/sp song variations thing once?

billy corgan and food themes

Oh yeah, I did! I forgot about that one.
Then I did one a few days ago about margaritas, I think.
I cook in the evenings and I play music, so maybe that is why that association happens. But then again, margaritas and hard lemonade are not exactly "food" so I'm not sure why those come up except that they are both sensory experiences which happen to involve different sensory modalities that can be easily analogized.

You're blowing my mind, dude!

i'm just hungry now

yeah haven't you guys ever seen the commitments

they're talking about music not movies

Every fan of a particular genre is going to be an elitist with an elitist attitude when it comes to music. Ever notice how fucking difficult it is to find a song that pleases everyone, or even just one or two of your friends? People, myself included, close the door to new or different sounds once they've decided that they like a particular genre.

what's the phrase people keep saying "get better friends"?

My best friend is like my carbon copy except for taste in music. Music seems like something that has to be experienced individually first before you can expect your friends to get hyped about it, and other people usually don't give a fuck about the GREATEST SONG EVER that you show them because they already have their set opinions about what good music is. It's one of the hardest things to explain to someone else.

not really just play it they go hey that sounds pretty goo

Your music is better than mine is though. More people like it, too. I listen to freaky avant guarde shit and really loud metal...and the smashing pumpkins. those are things that people dont seem to like or even give it a chance.

yeah not everybody likes sleater-kinney and the pixies either

so you see my point then. especially if that person was a fan of techno or rap and decided that they hated all music with guitars. they wouldn't even pay attention to your songs because they would hear the guitar and remember that they blacklisted any type of music that includes it.

yeah jesus talk about a hard sell i usually can't play rap in my own house

and no, not everyone blacklists stuff, that's what kids do.

So you've never generalized your tastes? "Oh I hate country/pop/jazz/!" Maybe you'd like an artist, but you'd probably avoid exposure because of it's 'genre'

yes but i grew up

bullshit. I've seen you call very broad things crap without giving an individual part of it a chance. but i refuse to dig for quotes so I'm sure you'll refute that.

.

Excuse me, your highness.

yeah i give everything a chance and sometimes i dislike it. sometimes i dislike it so intensely, like BlackOps, that I label it an Enemy of Culture

I'm convinced your hatred of BlackOps is really a hard-to-deal-with love.

the only person who plays that game that i know is my dealer so how is it that hard to deal with

Maybe HE is hard to deal with?

Hurr hurr hurr.

nah he's pretty relaxed. sometimes his buddy is over with his toddlers which is really uncomfortable though.

you should be ashamed
