there's a few different options there, actually.
1. grab the record away with mock-curiosity, "ooh, i love this record so very very much" and then "accidentally" hug it to death until it snaps in half / drop it out the window.
2. same as step one but feed the record to the doggy.
3. start yammering away about your personal connection to each song as it plays so that you aren't even listening - you're just talking. this is extra effective if you get a little crazy, "YES! this is the song where i cut my wrists wiiiiiide open! right at this riff here! OH yes!"
4. take the opportunity to show how you like to remix this particular record in your own special way. this of course involves a lot of scratching and "zip whup whubba" vinyl sounds. really get into it and v/vm it up. this makes every record fun.
5. "you know what would make this even better? if we listened to this outside. down the street a bit. it really makes the resonance of this particular track come out in a provocative way."
6. murder them.
7. just sit back and enjoy. madonna's not the end of the world, you fucking snob.

I think that's sensible. A couple of years ago a good friend of mine finally asked me the awful question "What music do you like?" and I said "Ohh..., y'know, Aphex Twin?" and she said words to the effect off Oh come off it, I read about him in The Face about 8 years ago... Insinuating that I had tried to appear cool by naming a cutting edge artist but had failed because I'd mentioned some flash in the pan underground prodigy from nearly a decade ago. Women!

they only say what they like because it allows them to 'fit in'. If you like commercial crap then you're going to fit in. So basically, by pretending to like stuff you're doing exactly the same as them. This view is rediculous I know but it could possibly be true. I'm sure everyone loves 'IDM' deep down, it's just we're brave enough to admit it!

bob mcbob - i understood that and i was not calling *you* a snob at all. it was just jokes jokes jokes. sorry.
i could've said any music in the world, but i picked madonna an prince because they're from the 80's and i thought that would be funny for some reason.

yes, it's pretty tough to make something likable for someone that doesn't know much about alternative/specific music..perhaps if they're willing to give it a try they might even like it, but it usually ends after the first listen..people who appreciate music in general - any genre, will almost certanly give it a proper listen though..

i usually say, its all about tastes - or sometimes i will even say - oh you wouldnt like anything i listen to, in fact you would hate the music i listen to, in order to avoid talking about it altogether, unless i am really good friends with the person, in which case i know them and they know me - therefore we know where we stand on tastes and we can have a conversation on music without it turning into an argument.

i dont think so, i think its thad and tolstoyed - most of my friends listen to punk or metal - they hate anything that is considered popular music ( and i think they hate it because of that reason ) they are essentially the same ilk as all of the music elitist here :), but anyway my close friends and i all grew up on the same music - so its cool that we all like different stuff now we can all talk openly and honest about our taste which is the greastest anyone can hope for

take off and landing are indeed the moments during a flight that have the highest risk percentage. But the actual flight, take off, and landing aren't the most dangerous thing with an airplane.

somehow i got the impression you are over 30. anyway,it's really nice when you can relate with ur closest friends with the same music taste.
i can also say the same thing,cos over the years i kind of led them to the way of electronica.
still,they don't like to listen to Ae or Boc,but they adore downtempo. lol

i really cant say that i sway my friends tastes or even try to - they are the ones who are all in bands and all listen to the unsigned underground punk or metal bands from around my way - so it is they who "think" their tastes reflect the true artistic value or something or other - now it may sound like i look down on that but i really dont think it is a negative thing - if you are an artist chances are you are going to like art that you consider good - and in most cases artists identify with other artists. artists are going to like music made by other artists - hence not britney spears or blink 182 - the argument that these individuals are artists is a debatable one. and thats where me and my friends agree

yes,i completely know what you think. i think it's important to have friends with similar tastes in music...atleast we don't argue when we go out,cos everyone is okay with the music that plays.
