This afternoon I had a friend in my room and I played some stuff on my wonderful brand new mkII. He didn't really like the music and I began to feel uncomfortable ; I even told me that the music was not very good and began to think that I couldn't explain why this music was nice. Then when I came back home tonight, I played the same vinyles than in the afternoon and this time I enjoyed them very much and thought that everything was great ! Does it happend to you sometimes to think that your music isn't that great when you are not listening to it alone ? |

it's because you're a shit DJ. |

I wasn't DJing, I was just playin stuff on 1 turntable ! It could have been exactly the same with CDs or mp3s. |

It's because it's human nature to be influenced by people who mean something to you for whatever reason. If they don't like something, and say so, you are more inclined to see things from their perspective and start to feel swayed by their viewpoints. There's also the probability that you get a little saddened that they don't like something you do. |

Bull! I am living proof of the exact opposite. I listen to sludge and drink and burn bridges. well not always but it is starting to seem that way |

Well I did say "more inclined" and "swayed". Didn't say it happens for everyone, or that it happens to the same degree for everyone. I wasn't going to go into the reasons why some people might feel it more than others cos that'd take hundreds of influencing factors into account, since birth. |

Aren't you still influenced because you are ignoring the influence? |

Isn't that a bit harsh, just because he does not share Combo's music taste? If you have a guest, it is polite, if you are to play music in their company, not to play music which makes your guest uncomfortable. It isn't the friend's fault that Combo lost confidence in his music selection. |

I have a feeling Combo was just listening to crappy music in the first place. |
||||||||
|

|
|
you are totally right. i was just beeing silly, silly. personally i stopped playing music for my friends several years ago, unless i know they are into the kind of music. i think i know what combo means. |

i play music for them... we're free, and they can decide if they like it or not, and i'm free to keep playing my music.. |

Yeah, mortal kombat 2 was better then 1 or 3. I agree. |

well, i've found that songs i write that i am not partial to, are the ones that are usually enjoyed by other people. sometimes you have to stand back from a song a while, especially one you write, then come back to it so you can see it more objectively. this has happened to me with a lot of music i ignored as i was younger than i rediscovered i have gotten older. |

...that's why i almost only listen to music on headphones. and whenever i hear someone (usually my parents) knocking at my room's door, i put the music on pause if i'm listening to it on speakers. |
||||||||

|

Yes, sometimes I do the same thing when my parents knock at my room's door, but noit always, it depends : ELECTRONICA, HIP-HOP, TECHNO = PAUSE but ROCK, POP = OK. |

this happens to me with some people. in my opinion, or rather in my experience, it has nothing to do with being influenced by the person with whom i'm listening. with some people, i don't care if they don't like the music, and i may not even sense that they don't like it until they say so; with others, i can feel their displeasure and i experience displeasure leaking into my pleasure. whether or not i value/respect their opinion doesn't seem to influence my experience. |

I know the music I listen to is great and I expect icky reactions to it from other people, so naw. But sometimes when I listen to stuff I don't like much, later someone with good taste whose opinion I respect will tell me they like it and explain why, and I'll be all like ''wtfomg, I am missing something''. And then I often find it. People can make me like things that didn't initially strike me as anything special, but nobody's lukewarm reaction to my favorite music has any affect. I hate listening to music socially anyway, and I hate it when someone comes into my room while I'm listening to music. I always turn it completely off and don't want to say anything abou tit. And I don't like my music wafting out the window and being heard by neighbours. I also turn my car music down if I drive by a busy area. I can't really explain why I like to keep my music to myself... I mean, I make mixes for people and love recommending my favorite stuff but I want people to listen to it away from me. |

Its the energy that gets expressed through the listeners. If they are listening to music they enjoy, there will be a much brighter energy released into the room. If they do not enjoy it, the energy will not be as bright. So if you are listening to music that other people aren't enjoying, their response will create a kind of energy that will make you less confortable. You will understand this as being the music you are not enjoying, even though its not the music, but the energy that is apparent because of the music. This works in any kind of social situation. This is also how a dj can influence the energy of a room by playing music that people will enjoy. Its ALL energy. |

I hope I don't need to listen to NRJ though. |

You know what I am talking about. Have you ever been at a club sober, in the dance area, and found yourself enjoying music that you normally won't? Its the same thing. Just keep in mind that your energy is going to influence the environment as much as the environment is going to influence you. |

I have no prroblem with the fact that my frriends don't like the music I play. My mate Jack is interrested in it though, which is cool. With otherr frriends it's actually prretty satisfying to see the look of horrrrorr on theirr faces |
