i bet that burns your ass worse than that time your anal beads got hot sauce on them, huh?

No, it gives me great pleasure.

Like that time my anal beads got hot sauce on them.

I do like different types of music. There are even a few country songs I like. A FEW.

I do remember when my older brother started really getting into music. His first two albums were "Eagle's Greatest Hits" and "Steve Miller Band's Fly Like an Eagle." He started a huge record collection, and turned me onto a lot of stuff.

I remember clearly that I loved the Steely Dan albums, among others. I liked the arrangments...a little horn here, a different drum beat there.

Then, when I met my ex (who attended Berklee College of Music, in Boston) who is a piano player and is partial to jazz fusion, I really got an education. I learned to concentrate on individual parts, and found parts in music that I had previously not tuned into: I might have liked the sum of the parts, but when I learned about the parts I was really blown away. At times, I would point out a nuance to him that he hadn't noticed. Not often, but every now and then.

Parts is parts.

Some of the musicians we've seen live...like Tom Scott. His band came out for a sound check and played a bit and that could have been the whole show right there, a sound check so amazing.

And I'm partial to Bacharach and David, and Mancini...for the same arrangement reasons.

I don't know anything about the White Stripes...I might like them.

So ends the ramblings of someone who is not a musician.

Sounds like you have good taste. It's true, people listen differently, and you can learn a different way of listening from someone.

From an is-a-musician's perspective (if drummers count), listening is the #1 skill a musician needs to do his/her job correctly.

And yes, I know, drummers do count, but only to eight.

*ding ding ding* We have a winner! I tried introducing the band Helmet to some of my metalhead friends in 1990. They all hated it. Universally. Without exception. Each and everyone of them said "this guitarist sucks!" They equated using using few notes, repetitive rhythm, and odd time signatures with sucking. For me, it just kind of clicked.

Ex could hear something once and play it. His guitar buddy used to call and ask for The Chordmeister...then they would go into a conversation that sounded like greek to me, but Ex just had an "ear" for want of a better phrase.

Yes. Yes I would.

lookout123 · 02-06-2008, 11:46 AM

i do find it slightly intriguing that classicman and clodfobble, two of the more laid back and reasonable dwellars, seem to have hard-ons for eachother.

kerosene · 02-06-2008, 11:51 AM

Is that what people do when they get hard-ons? Damn, no wonder I don't get laid.

Shawnee123 · 02-06-2008, 12:04 PM

Would that be "hards-on"?
