What Your Taste In Music Says About You on a Date

[karlhenning]

It means you ain't getting any tonight since the assumption will be that you're gay, weird, snobbish, or all three 

Any woman I should be interested in, more than likely digs classical music. Possibly Jethro Tull, too, to be sure . . . .

[Grazioso]

As if I needdd a glimpse into my future this early in the morning.

I'm reminded of the end of Strauss's Don Juan, where the great lover runs out of steam

Sitting on a park bench
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

Karl, don't forget Chicago   

[karlhenning]

Yes, Ray! Had some cued up not long ago . . . .

[George]

Chopin - I'll bring you flowers, read poetry and you'll fall madly in love but I won't have the physical strength to get to second base. 

[Brahmsian]

Bruckner - I have a thing for dead corpses.....in case you are into that?

Nay, it was Minstrel in the Gallery we were grooving to.  I had to exhort her not to polarize the pumpkin-eaters.

Sorabji- once he's got you, never expect to be let out of the house. Many, long, loooooooooonnng, strange experiments may ensue. 

[DavidW]

Mussorgsky: knows how to party, you'll need a new liver if you stay around too long!

[Brian]

Chopin - I'll bring you flowers, read poetry and you'll fall madly in love but I won't have the physical strength to get to second base. 

Winner. So, so good!

[karlhenning]

Nicely played, George!

[George]

Thanks guys, I was particularly proud of that one.

Langgaard: A date? When? And what is the event in question?

[snyprrr]

But,... none of you are saying about what liking these people says about YOU!!


Again, I bring up the fact that, on a couple of occasions, I put on Feldman's 80min. Piano & String Quartet,... and,.... the ladies were just creeped out. Here, I thought that it was nice, mellow music, but all they heard was the precipitous anxiety.


The 'Pop' selections made me roll my eyes. I think there are a few more obvious examples:

Jeff Buckley = you're a weenie boy

Radiohead = you're a weenie boy

Morrissey = you're a weenie boy

No Doubt = you're a weenie boy

Kiss = you're,... probably dead! (or, you graduated)

Bob Dylan = you're hopelessly... mm...


oh, here's the only one that matters:

Grateful Dead = you're a 'DeadHead',... all the stereotypes apply to you


Zappa = don't worry, you won't be dating any time soon,... probably a total ass

The Fray = you're gay


country = you're dumb

metal = you've got 'manly' issues

blues = you think you're better than

Kelis = you suck, and you won't put out

REM = gay

classic rock = you are to blame for the economy,... everything that is wrong

surf instrumentals = well! , what could possibly be wrong with you??

hard rock = you're the one black guy who is a 'Rocker',... people look at you like they can't compute,... IF you happen to be that one lone black rocker, you may also have serious deep deep issues,... comes with the territory

Michael Jackson = you're a white guy who thinks he can dance



Now, for the 'close to home':

Xenakis = you are FUCKED with the ladies!! However, they MAY just try you out in spite of...

ANY Avant-Garde, as a matter of fact = sexual dysfunction, arrogant, intolerant, probably the concept of dating doesn't even register,... you may find yourself one day being hit on by a man, baby...

Yea, don't EVER even let someone with a vagina even THINK you like anything other than what's popularly expected of you to like,... yea, unless she's one of the legions of Asian violin playing babes you might encounter near a conservatory...



ok, time to RANT:

Fuck you, all you people who want the local bar band to play 'Margaritaville', or you people who think that musicians are there to entertain YOU,...

Fuck you, you fuckers who yell for 'Freebird'...

Fuck you, you karaoke fucks who only sing 'Summer Nights' and 'Picture',... oh, and 'I Love this Bar'...

Fuck you, you women who get 'that' look on your face the instant you hear a 'sound' that you hadn't prescribed...




My Morning Jacket = is this the guy who's getting the tail?




RANT OFF.

I don't get it- was Chopin just physically weak?

Several of the posts here make me wish we had a "like" button like facebook.  I damn near snorted coffee through my nose at eyeresist's "Mahler - Bipolar suicide risk. Avoid."

I itched for a like button myself on eyeresist's post.  That's the one thing that TC has that we desperately need imo!
