my bestfriend to radiohead:

"i am not very keen on space-rock"

my bestfriend to squarepusher:

"is there any structure?"

best female friend to underworld:

"i tried to listen to..."

my girlfriend to confield:

"... hmm... i listened it once, ... i think"

and to moon safari:

"you make it easy..." *sing*

my brother to aphex twin:

"3rd track of come to daddy has funny singing"

my brother to prefuse73:

"for background music it is good, but if you pay attention
to the sound it sucks"

I don't like people who don't like decent music. Ho ho ho.

Truthfully conversation is pretty tough when someone is into
dogshit. Its like 'oh you dig xyz dog shit group' mmm and
they're yacking on about the strength of songwriting or
whatever and you're thinking erm 'yeah put some fucking acid
or some banging jungle on the record player' thats what I
give for your songwriting waffle. Lol.

hmm... some people about RDJ album:
- "some tracks are cool, but some are pissing me off"
- "it is very spacey!"

a guy about Soliloquy For Lilith by NWW (dark ambient stuff,
not noisy at all though!):
- "that's noise : P"

(this comment really made me upset. especially when the file
transfer for one track lasted like half an hour.)

my father about... lots of stuff:
- "not bad"

my brother about Merzbow:
- [big grin] "great! that's completely dumb!!"

or, most of the time, when i listen with headphones, my
brother looks at me with a weird look, like "what the hell
is this crap?!". i don't like it when he does that.

but most of the time i don't make people listen to my music.

also my brother doesn't like my "obession" with Radiohead
(i'm not that *obsessed* with them though! but he thinks i
am just because i am drawing radiohead bears (they're cool,
easy to draw!), pasting random pics of Thom Yorke and bears
in my comics and all... and... bah)

first i tried very often to make people listening music i
like and tell me what they think of, because i felt somehow
lonely because no-one else i knew listened to such stuff,
but lately i can enjoy the stuff without a need to talk with
friends about it

Mostly my friends like Richard D. James, and one of my
friends like Autechre. I also have another friend that
listens basically to all the same music I do.

my parents to music i listen in general

i don't know why the call aphex twin, björk, boc and such
like as "german music" especially boc and aphex are 95 %
instrumental :D

oh and my mum about björk:

"oh, you are listening to the shoeless girl again?"

shoes... *g*

Most of my friends don't listen to it when I'm not around,
but they like aphex twin and coil and stuff; mostly because
they are stoners heheh.

i think my best friend is only listening to stuff i like, no
matter if i am with him or not. on the other hand he is
listening to stuff like dido and evanecence....

my girlfriend is partly listening to music i introduced her,
i think, she likes björk, radiohead, air and she said SAW
II and Substrata by Biosphere are quite relaxing :D

Most of mine like what they have heard of boards of
canada/aphex, a few like squarepusher (they came to see him
live with me), and one likes autechre. Of course there are
plenty of others that are just like "hahaha this is so shit"
or something.

I remember playing some ae to someone once, and they
explained to me how autechre make their music: he said that
they record it on a casio keyboard at a slow speed and then
make the tempo about 3 times as fast, play it back and
record it. Stopping myself from putting him in incredible
pain was difficult, but I managed. Instead I told him that
yes, he was absolutely right, and never talked to him again.

Church music I've been told is what I listen to. That I
thought amusing.

I don't have any problems basically 'cause both my sisters
dig cool music too. We've all gone to Rephlex gigs together
and share a liking for electro, drum & bass, techno, BOC,
Aphex, Plaid etc etc etc.

my girlfriend on hearing plastikman:
"its just a bit repetitive, don't you think?"
..we then poceeded to have a conversation about how she
found it really hollow+mechanical. she thought the
plastikman records were souless.. i believe they maintain an
organic feel+a lot of emotion despite being skeletal in
structure.

my girlfriend on hearing aphex twin, squarepusher, luke
vibert, autechre, mu-ziq, chris clark, brothomstates,
laurent garnier.. etc.
"i'm not sure i like this"

no no, seriously - i exaggerate. she does actually like a
lot of tunes by these artists, just not all of them. she
just doesnt really get into the tracks where the drum
programming gets very complex+hectic, the sounds get
glitchy, or the basslines get very acid-y. she's very
tolerant of my tastes though.
she's got great taste in music.. she just doesnt follow me
too far down the electronica/techno avenue.

im bored of typing now. as im sure youre bored of reading.

oh .. i remembered another one

Boards of canada - geogaddi

'and people pay for this..'

so i played plaid - rest proof clockwork

'is there any singing? dont you have anything with voices on
it'

goddamn you should have listened to the boc if you wanted
voices

anyway, i played ulrich schnauss - a strangely isolated
place after the plaid.. and it was too cheesy

i give up...

People who need music with singing in to get any kind of
enjoyment out of it are by and large cunts.

i find that people who've heard my aphex records have
responded better to the really melodic tracks like on, flim,
alberto balsalm than the 'novelty' ones.. wouldnt want them
to think its solely 'comedy' or throwaway cheap-gag music
now would we? :D

I dunno, lots of people I've played IDM to have liked it (of
course, if I make a tape for them or play something
specifically for them, it's the more accessible stuff, no
venetian snares etc.).

A mate from Switzerland heard a tape of stuff I had in my
car and asked, "What is this music called? I've never heard
anything like it, it's great."

Some of my friends like (and own) a couple of Aphex and NOW
albums, but not much else.

Every shared house/flat I've lived in has got at least one
person who has asked to copy some aphex mp3s from me.

My Brother likes some of the more accessible Aphex and all
the NOW stuff.
Even my dad likes Portishead and Boards of Canada.
