Tell them that you don't like music and you prefer staring at traffic wardens.

Camille has good songs (not the ones you hear on TV) especially on Le fil and a good voice. She's irritating as hell as a person though (which can detract people from her real talent).

What's more important, the person or their tastes ? And there are far worse bands than Placebo anyway.

He makes fun of my music taste, because he finds it that it is bad. He hates SY, Joy Division, and all the bands that I hold dearly.


So, my question is what is the difference between you and your lover?


Everyone's different, lovers or not.

Same probably applies not only to lovers but also to husbands and wives. I know my tastes are very different from my wife's. She simply doesn't listen to the music I like when I listen to it. I'm the bigger person, though, and never complain about anything she chooses to put on the stereo, even when I hate it.

My best friend's girlfriend doesn't like Sonic Youth, so he simply listens to them when she's not in. That doesn't prevent her from being a great person and they really love each other so why should that be a problem ?

Having a different taste in music than my girlfriend doesn't really bother me for the most part. Putting up with the other's tunes isn't too hard for me though I will give her shit like any other couple's bickering.

There have been too many threads on this topic in the past.

Her favorites, if I would guess right off the top of my head, would be Polysics, Lightning Bolt, Motocompo, Plus-Tech Squeezebox, Animal Collective, Secret Chiefs 3, Brainiac, Causey Way, Islands/Unicorns, and Big Black .. she also loves some Miracle Chosuke, they only have that one album though. She mainly likes poppier shit or shit with electronic hooks/keyboards, though she also likes shit that's propulsive and simpler... she doesn't really like stuff with tons of time changes or stuff that would make your head hurt with complexity.

That being said, we usually agree on music, and we get along really well, for a loooooong time she couldn't get into Beefheart.. she enjoyed the music but couldn't stand the vocals.. but now she gets it.. she has me burn her a lot of CD's, she likes a lot of J-Pop, but I do too. So, yeah, we get along a-okay.


What does she think of your classic albums?

Maybe she fakes liking what you listen to actually :D

ALIEN ANAL 05.07.2008 09:01 AM

haha
nah she was into the same stuff before we met
funny though :P

atsonicpark 05.07.2008 09:30 AM

Pork, I dunno, she probably doesn't like a lot of those.. or she might.. she doesn't think in terms of "classic" I guess.

She does post on here occassionally.................

My girlfriend is such a girly girl
she likes stuff like sade, tony bennett, Steely dan, Amy Winehouse, Regina Spektor anything where someone is singing with a backdrop of beautifully composed music (barf)
She thinks I, (and by extension all of you) are crazy weirdo for listening to such ear-shocking insanity.
she really cannot stand the ROCK.

since she has been with me she has found that she likes a lot of new stuff. she has also told me that despite my music being so difficult and weird, that she understands now why I call her music "simple" and "basic". She said that her favorite music while beautiful, does not ahve lasting depth when compared to the stuff she hears me listen to.

I have gotten her into cornelius, TV on the Radio, the smiths, and other light fare.

she is a musical wuss. Like marge simpson, listening to "wuss rock".

luckily w eboth love classical music, and jazz, although she gets a hard on for jazz vocalists and I fucking hate that shit.
