Ok, so It's easy to picture where I sit all day.. just imagine your archetypal software company, cubicles from one end to the other.. I get to listen to music all day long which is totally awesome... Today is kinda rainy and shitty outside.. so I'm bumpin some SAW2. It's really filling up the room. I've got lots of comments on my music today.. the people here in the office are really responding to it. People asking for copies of the album and stuff haha.. Most of the time they just walk by my desk and either don't say anything at all, or just be like. "wtf is this?".. or what's really funny is when I go smoke and I come back from smoking or something and my winamp has switched from something really quiet to some really abrasive death techno.. hahah.. everyone giving me these weird looks. I used to get really offended when people would make fun of the music I listened to, now I don't give a shit.. Anyhow, the point of the story is.. it's raining here and my coworkers are being forced to listen to SAW2 and some of them like it. see ya. |

suggest some saw 85-92 to them as well, you might start the whole office in getting into electronica. |

i HATE when people tell me to turn down the music "I don't like this techno music" even if i've told 'em many time it's not techno! can't they tell the difference between techno and say...drill&bass! irritates me |

see, i always get people asking me what type of music i listen to and if i turn around and say, i like boards of canada and mira calix, i know they wont know what it is...so i just kinda say, you wont really know, i doubt you'd have heard it before and then they say "so, you dont really listen to music that much then?" aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhh!!!! also, i hate the fact that when i get to listen to my tunes at work, they all piss and moan about how shite it is when they listen to Scottish piss like The Proclaimers, or fucking oasis or whatever. I mean, i listen to a huge range of music, from mogwai, to bjork, the strokes, dillinger escape plan, (old) johnny cash, mr scruff, jeff mills, aphex...i could go on forever, anything goes...i aint a big music snob, i try to stay as open minded as possible, but to these people i must look so narrow minded. that pisses me right off. ps:thanks for letting me get that one off my chest. ta. |

One week ago I introduced some BOC to my friends while they were busy playing cards and drinking beer. I played In a beautiful place and some Twoism tunes and after a while I saw them being possessed by the music in a subliminal way - shuffling the cards in synchrony with the beat , slowly moving their body. They barely noticed when I switched to squarepusher drill&bass but the vsnare plateau was a little too much. One of the guys then told me to put some matmos, he knew about them being a big fan of Bjork. One day I was watching GG with one of my best friends who is not into electronic stuffs at all ( he has an extensive knowledge of musicals and classical music ) and at the end of the video that we were watching using the DVD player of his PS2. He just told me " nice visuals, too bad that the PS2 sound drivers are too old to correctly decode the audio stream ". Conclusion autechre has the sound of a non compliant sound driver. |

be sure to critisize their musical taste, and then shortly after, play your music loud and be right in their face about it. |

WeaklingChild. that's exactly the bullshit i get from people. I'm very open minded to all kinds of music and i respect everyone's taste (even if it's a shitty one) but when they start to say my music is crap (Even the nice melodic triphopish tunes) when they listen to unoriginal mainstream post-rock, something that's been done over and over again. I hate the fact they are so narrow minded, they'll only listen to one type of music and never seem to want to explore other musical aspects. fucking pisses me off. |

SAW 2 is perfect for rainy days! I just listened to it yesterday after a long while and it was quite refreshing. |

Are you sure you're not thinking of Tonepu5her? I thought this thread was going to be about overrated Ricky Gervais shite-com The Office. |

One day I was listening to 'Pule' off Chiastic Slide and this old lady said it was pretty. She was right, it is.. I don't like autechre too much at the workplace... this place is chaotic enough already. |
