AsleepInTheBack: IRL Music Friends

AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	Would be interesting to hear you guys thoughts. Also, always open to recs.
owen 09.07.16	Talk to people at shows, good things will come to you
Valkoor952 09.07.16	implying people at sputnik have irl friends
FullOfSounds 09.07.16	I have one friend who I can get into a discussion about sometimes.
BlushfulHippocrene 09.07.16	Yes for 6 and 7! 1 and 2 are cool, too. I don't have a lot of friends into similar music, but a good talking point has always been popular hip hop and R&B. If I keep up with The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, Drake etc. then there's an endless talking point. Other than that, not so much at all. That said, I'm not quite in an environment with a lot of adults. Are people not much into music receptive to recommendations? Interesting you're trying to get them on it.
MyNameIsPencil 09.07.16	see 3 of my best friends I can all talk music too which is coolio
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	@owen good idea though I'm a lazy dude when it comes to shows, should go to more @blushful huh thats interesting. see my friends aren't even that into big mainstream artists, they're just not really music people; they'll listen whats on the radio as background listening and they'll have favourite clubbing songs but they don't seek out any music just to listen to. From my experience my friends have been pretty unreceptive to any recommendations unless I give them super easy listening stuff, but I think they're unusually unreceptive.
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	and I'm envious Pencil
DoofusWainwright 09.07.16	I have friends in bands but they tend to have quite narrow taste, just liking the one or two genres they enjoy most. My brother has done a few things in the industry (production, has released a few electronic albums). I can chat to him a lot and we still have the habit of sharing mix tapes. My other half actually takes an interest and after being together four years we can chat about music a lot. Going to a lot of gigs together has helped. Other than that not really. It's probably a huge reason most people sign up here.
owen 09.07.16	@AsleepInTheBack go for it, I've met like-minded people to talk about music with for hours
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	Cool stuff Doof, hoping that the person I end up with is musically open minded like that. and agreed about that being the appeal of Sput. and owen I will man, not actually gone to a show since joining sput so its about time I changed that
SitruK6 09.07.16	Most of my music conversations happen on sput
CalculatingInfinity 09.07.16	Essentially none, almost all talks are on here.
Archelirion 09.07.16	I have one IRL friend I can talk to about music - as long as that music has breakdowns or is Jamiroquai. sigh At least I like Jamiroquai.
UpwardSpiral 09.07.16	Yes, but I only see him once every year or so.
zakalwe 09.07.16	One of me mates is in a band, likes his 80s metal and a few odds and sods. A few mates who really are into their music but I dunno I am a bit weird in how it's an all encompassing thing for me. Without a shadow of doubt I'll be banging on about it for Christ knows how long in a get together in the pub. The wife digs a fair bit but she'll moan at a lot of stuff I have on in the car but we can have great chats about the spirit of it all.
DinosaurJones 09.07.16	I can chat with music with 2 of my best friends. Actually, its usually one of the more common topics. I'm also in a band, so I talk about a lot of music with my bandmates, but it's hard to go to in-depth into music with a 30 year old who thinks Blink-182 is the best band in the world
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	"I am a bit weird in how it's an all encompassing thing for me" damn relatable. my friends find it bizarre that i can happily spend a day off on my own jamming music
slackened 09.07.16	i know an avid follower of pitchfork's best new music (electronic esp.) and i rec'd a buddy Jane Doe last year. our tastes don't line up, but it def is nice to have irl friends listening to stuff in the same ballpark. but yea, a bit weird in how music's an all encompassing thing for me [3]
SitruK6 09.07.16	Don't get me wrong, i can talk about music with my friends the problem is that they are pretty narrow minded and lack the knowledge to go into really deep conversations
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	I get you SitruK6, though I try to be understanding of my friends who are like that as I was like that not too long ago.
emester 09.07.16	Probably just my girlfriend. Hell, I'd even argue that she is even more passionate about music than myself. Its amazing how our musical tastes complement each other so well.
porcupinetheater 09.07.16	I have a couple friends with fairly open minded taste, albeit more limited than your average Sputnikker, but the biggest roadblock to music discussion with them (and most people in general in my experience) is that they'll almost never listen to a God damn album from start to finish. They all put multi hundred song playlists on shuffle and cycle through, and that's all they do, so you're kind of limited to song-in-isolation discussion
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	"they'll almost never listen to a God damn album from start to finish" yeah this is so frustrating, I dont get it when people do this, you can miss out on so much
zakalwe 09.07.16	I think sput has helped develop a taste for stuff I don't think I'd have given a listen to back in the day and reinforced the love for stuff that I was spinning 25 odd years ago. The digital age certainly helps. It's contributed to taking my passion to a different level which is intriguing. It's just a shame 70% of sputters have fucking shit taste.
Shemson 09.07.16	Nah I don't have any friends who have the same taste as me. I have friends who like bits and pieces of the stuff I like though so if I hear a good album I've normally got 1/10 friends I can try and share it with. But then what's good music is all opinion so I don't think many people in the world would have a perfect musical partner.
Artuma 09.07.16	"implying people at sputnik have irl friends" this.
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	I think sput has helped develop a taste for stuff I don't think I'd have given a listen to back in the day and reinforced the love for stuff that I was spinning [5] odd years ago. The digital age certainly helps. It's contributed to taking my passion to a different level which is intriguing. [2] We're living in the best time for music lovers, solely because we have easy access to everything ever made and because its so much easier for an artist to get their work out than it used to be and so (whilst this results in a lot of shit music) some really interesting ideas can come to fruition without needing the backing of a body to distribute your work.
TheGreatQ 09.07.16	One of my two best friends and my sister can talk about music pretty well. Most of my friends only like whatever's currently on the radio. "they'll almost never listen to a God damn album from start to finish. They all put multi hundred song playlists on shuffle" This is incredibly annoying. I had a music class and one person on the class said she would never listen to an album because more than two or three songs off of one was a waste of time.
SitruK6 09.07.16	@AsleepInTheBack Don't get me wrong i understand them, still i can't help myself but to feel that my talks with them are limited to hell
zakalwe 09.07.16	The flip side is the spirit has gone. The community is obviously there we are on a planet spanning forum talking about it (never fails to blow my mind) and we can instantly tap into a source to mine gold but something definitely died in the process.
RadicalEd 09.07.16	The people in my social circle are either not that much into music (they listen to top 40 stuff and some "hot" spotify playlists) or they mostly leech of my musical tastes and generally don't discuss much with me, other than: "Yeah that album you gave me last week, is awesum. (or alternatively: "I didn't care for it", but that's not very often) So I don't really discuss much music with my friends tbh.
RadicalEd 09.07.16	"The flip side is the spirit has gone. The community is obviously there we are on a planet spanning forum talking about it (never fails to blow my mind) and we can instantly tap into a source to mine gold but something definitely died in the process." Some mystical, mythical thing "died". Starting to sound like an evangelic christian at this point.
torts 09.07.16	if i didnt like music the way i did id actually have friends and a partner that cared about me lol
zakalwe 09.07.16	Who the fuck says "I didn't care for it" in real life? Sound like a bunch of arseholes.
CalculatingInfinity 09.07.16	"they'll almost never listen to a God damn album from start to finish" I've ranted about this so many times, thankfully almost all of the people I have done it to see the point of it by the end.
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	I get you Zak. Somewhat related, I read an interesting article recently about how the underground music scene has died in a way. I mean sure there are less popular genres and lesser known bands, but the internet era means as soon as the underground does something particularly interesting the mainstream picks up on it and creates its own variant of it.
theBoneyKing 09.07.16	Literally the only person I can really discuss music is my dad.
BallsDeep 09.07.16	I've got a few friends into metal, but they're really only scraping the service so I'm trying to help them explore the genre. One mate Is into a lot of indie and post rock - the antlers, godspeed, sigur ros, hotelier etc so I have decent chats with him, in fact he's introduced me to some artists too The rest are into drum and bass, trap, modern hip hop etc which I like but I'm not quite as passionate about them This is the reason I come on to sputnik I guess
CalculatingInfinity 09.07.16	Also idk about everyone here but even if I did I would find it hard to anyway. I can't communicate musical ideas at all compared to what I can type since I can actually step back, think and ponder.
DinosaurJones 09.07.16	Also, AtomicWaste and I are IRL bros, we went to college together and were roommates for a bit. Our mutual love for Buckethead is what initially brought us together, even if we don't care for him so much anymore. We have had many a discussion about music.
SitruK6 09.07.16	"they'll almost never listen to a God damn album from start to finish" "I've ranted about this so many times, thankfully almost all of the people I have done it to see the point of it by the end" That's why most people who say i love band/artist X only know 2 - 3 songs of that artist/band
SitruK6 09.07.16	At least in regard to my friends
SitruK6 09.07.16	@calc I used to be so bad at talking about music irl, i guess the more u do it the better u are at it
beefshoes 09.07.16	My mom and sister, but no one else. I had friends in high school that were into the same types of music and a few of them were somewhat active on this site for a brief period of time back in 2009-10, but I've not met a single person that I can bond with over music since I started university in 2013.
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	but I've not met a single person that I can bond with over music since I started university [2] tis a shame actually now i think about it i talk to my dad quite a bit about music. our tastes dont really line up but we have good chats about music in general, what it means to us etc.
Mort. 09.07.16	MattTD and me know eachother in real life so i chat with him about music whenever i see him
CalculatingInfinity 09.07.16	I talk about it with my tutor sometimes at Uni, since he used to be in a Black Metal band when he was younger. I just avoid music with anyone else irl as much as possible, especially my parents although they've tried it sometimes.
zakalwe 09.07.16	The best people to talk to about it are those in their 60s to 70s. The stories of hippies and the counter culture for me are fascinating. My father in law is as Irish as they come, humerous as hell and when he talks about London in the 'swinging sixties' it's funny as fuck. Not the most pc of blokes.
porcupinetheater 09.07.16	Yeah, my Dad got me into music in the first place, although he listens to prog almost exclusively at this point. Still looking for someone I can vibe out to black metal with besides the occasional hipster that listens to Burzum wears the Transilvanian Hunger T and talks about Liturgy
emester 09.07.16	While the spectrum of what people listen to at my college is a considerable step up from that of which peps listened to back at my high school, its still pretty basic Urban Outfitters and /mu/-core shit. not bad music by any means but still turns to be homogenous in a lib arts school like mine.
SitruK6 09.07.16	@calc I'm not saying i know you really well, but i have to say that's so typical of you haha
emester 09.07.16	when I met Michaela last year at school, the fact I found another metal enthusiast who actually digs my kind of black metal and was open to practically anything out there kinda floored me. I still feel like im on cloud nine.
Spacesh1p 09.07.16	One friend who has pretty impressive knowledge (especially of metal) and a girlfriend who is happy to listen to be ramble about music pretty much any time. I do the same for her when she talks about visual art. It's great because we teach each other quite a bit.
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	"I just avoid music with anyone else irl as much as possible, especially my parents" nah man talking music with parents is the best. you can learn a lot about some older stuff and its great fun confusing them with newer stuff to get the response 'piss off, thats not even music'
zakalwe 09.07.16	They're right. They really are dude.
SitruK6 09.07.16	"Still looking for someone I can vibe out to black metal with besides the occasional hipster that listens to Burzum wears the Transilvanian Hunger T and talks about Liturgy" [66666666] i feel you so hard on this one
CalculatingInfinity 09.07.16	@zak: I could talk to them all day, would be really interesting. @Sitru: Well why wouldn't I do it?
emester 09.07.16	I have a Panzerfaust shirt :p
SitruK6 09.07.16	@calc I'm not even sure how to respond to that Lmao
porcupinetheater 09.07.16	Panzerfaust has the best DT album art, definitely the best one to cover your chest with
CalculatingInfinity 09.07.16	"nah man talking music with parents is the best. you can learn a lot about some older stuff and its great fun confusing them with newer stuff to get the response 'piss off, thats not even music'" Glad that's the case for you, but it isn't for me. I don't enjoy the music they passionately love and when my Dad was worried for my mental health when he heard a song when I was testing a concert on my TV and mom misrepresenting my points to people who I say I don't like what they like I just decide to avoid it. My only goal was to show I listen to happier things than they stereotype me of listening to and show them one show, which I have so I left it there.
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	@Calc sorry to hear it man, that isn't the best.
SitruK6 09.07.16	I've got no problem with people wearing darkthrone shirts nor do i have a problem with burzum (who btw is one of my favorite bands). I just want someone to talk about bm irl
emester 09.07.16	"nah man talking music with parents is the best. you can learn a lot about some older stuff and its great fun confusing them with newer stuff to get the response 'piss off, thats not even music'" Exactly what I did back in high school. My Dad did play a very signifiant part of my introduction to prog
CalculatingInfinity 09.07.16	@AsleepInTheBack: I ain't complaining, they do what they love and I'll stick to mine. Simple as that really. Plus I can't even show the concert which I did properly because the sound through my TV was absolute trash and when Dad was asking me questions I didn't give very good answers.
SitruK6 09.07.16	My dad actually has no problem talking about bm and finds it really interesting, still he doesn't like 95% of it
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	@calc Thats fair enough man
porcupinetheater 09.07.16	@Sitru No, I feel you, Burzum and Darkthrone rule (although I'd wager a good portion of people with the T don't even listen to Darkthrone, it's like the Black Metal Misfits logo shirt), but in my experience, it's almost always those two bands from the 2nd wave (I've heard "Mayhem sounds too weird" after one listen quite a bit), and then just a bunch of Pitchfork black metal
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	yeah not that long ago we had a long conversation about the different sub genres of metal and the difference between them, my dad was super interested and taken aback that it was as varied as it is
CalculatingInfinity 09.07.16	"My dad actually has no problem talking about bm and finds it really interesting, still he doesn't like 95% of it" I'm curious to know the 5% he does like lol
SitruK6 09.07.16	Another example of this is the nirvana smille t shirts, i swear I've met so many people with that who claim to love nirvana only to end up looking like absolute dumbasses
porcupinetheater 09.07.16	Probably Satanic Warmaster
RadicalEd 09.07.16	"They're right. They really are dude." facepalm
DoofusWainwright 09.07.16	My dad has developed a deep love for Muse so we don't talk about music as much as we used to
SitruK6 09.07.16	@calc If my shitty memory serves me right, he liked a few bm songs that are more on the post rock/shoegaze side of things (think alcest and deafheaven) .
SitruK6 09.07.16	He probably liked more than that but honestly i just don't remember lmao
RadicalEd 09.07.16	"My dad has developed a deep love for Muse so we don't talk about music as much as we used to" Eww.
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	"My dad has developed a deep love for Muse " same, so he took us all to a Muse concert for his 50th. It was actually pretty solid despite my lack of love for their recent projects
DoofusWainwright 09.07.16	He plays the live album Harp really loud at me when I visit sometimes
zakalwe 09.07.16	Disown the old duffer doof dude
ScuroFantasma 09.07.16	1 dude, he's great. Similar taste in some ways and very different in others which is cool, but we're both really into it.
DoofusWainwright 09.07.16	He used to have pretty good taste but he's gone that direction a lot of people go as they get older, likes stuff that's non taxing melodic and poppy - Keane, Coldplay, Mika, Maroon 5 Plus Paul Weller dad rock stuff and he and my my mum will listen to Zero 7 type chillout mixes That's about it for them now, but they used to listen to all the good 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s stuff. It's worrying.
DoofusWainwright 09.07.16	Is music senility a thing?
RadicalEd 09.07.16	Zero 7 is pretty cool. Try to get them into other stuff in that genre. ("Air" for example) @ music senility. My dad used to be into stuff like Dire Straits, U2 and Marilion, and today he likes Ronan Keating. So yeah. (And he's not even that old)
DoofusWainwright 09.07.16	My brother is heavily into electronic stuff so he does them mix tapes of way more stuff than I know. He probably listens to as much new music as I do but 90% electronic, plus a bit of hip hop and indie My brother has much cooler taste than I do lol - he's an authority on hip hop and electronics so I I don't even try and compete. It's why I've listened to a fuck tonne more hip hop and electronic than I've rated here. Id like to raid his CD library actually.
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	"Is music senility a thing?" Yup, my dad went from Bowie, Pink Floyd and Dire Straits to Lady Gaga, Muse and Mika. Thankfully he's gone back to his roots these days, but it was touch and go for a while
CzechyGuy 09.07.16	Probably my brother and my dad, but I see him once every three or two weeks. So yeah, only my brother.
zakalwe 09.07.16	It's something I wonder about doof. As you get older the wonderment in everything dissipates, the mind blowing albums disappear and enjoyment is found in little things. Mowing the lawn, taking the dog for a walk, cleaning out the car etc and the soul connection gets transferred to other things. Taking the kids out and watching them enjoy themselves. One thing I know though is I'll always blast Morbid Angel loud as fuck.
guitarded_chuck 09.07.16	i find equal joy in all those things, guess im in-between ages for now
CalculatingInfinity 09.07.16	"One thing I know though is I'll always blast Morbid Angel loud as fuck." Advise for all of us to follow.
Spacesh1p 09.07.16	"One thing I know though is I'll always blast Morbid Angel loud as fuck." Ain't that the truth.
DoofusWainwright 09.07.16	Zak what I'm finding is despite my efforts is I'm becoming more of a music hobbyist than the sort of music fan I used to be. The willing is there, I still go to a load of gigs, but something has changed. Being a hobbyist is great and there's a passion to it but it doesn't have that visceral emotional connection like I used to have. Just the passing of youth maybe. Now I own a garden I can feel it drawing me in. I tried to listen to Clarence Clarity while doing some weeding the other day but it didn't really mix, need a sput gardening playlist I'm trying to cram in a lot of music exploration now cos I get the feeling if I start a family in the next two years that will be another kick in the spuds regarding the amount of time investment I can put into music
Spacesh1p 09.07.16	Just prepare a massive classical list for yourself and start from the moment one pops out of the oven. Classical is supposed to do good things for the developing brain if the Internet is to be trusted.
iloveyouall 09.07.16	""Is music senility a thing?" Yup, my dad went from Bowie, Pink Floyd and Dire Straits to Lady Gaga, Muse and Mika." that's actually the antithesis of musical senility, but thanks for playing regardless.
Spacesh1p 09.07.16	Sach loves Muse, confirmed.
SitruK6 09.07.16	My mom went from pink floyd, radiohead, depeche mode, u2 and tom waits to shitty radio pop. The only good pop artist she likes is florence and the machine, all the others are crap. As for my dad, hmmmm he went through so many genres and phases i won't even start going through it haha. Tbh these days i don't think he even listens to music at all (aside from things i send him here and there)
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	yup, its indisputable
SitruK6 09.07.16	It doesn't even make sense to me. Why???
SitruK6 09.07.16	On a side note this list reminded me i need to check 7
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	yeah 7's pretty great, especially with the knowledge of the context of its creation (their singer passing)
iloveyouall 09.07.16	"My mom went from pink floyd, radiohead, depeche mode, u2 and tom waits to shitty radio pop." again, you're confusing musical senility with musical progression. she moved on to better things. it's a shame you can't do the same.
porcupinetheater 09.07.16	Sach digs dad rock
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	yup, its indisputable
AlexKzillion 09.07.16	Discussing music in real life? HA Sike, a lot of my friends listen to Logic and shit and it's pretty fucking annoying to talk about hip hop with them because it always goes "Hey have you heard that new- DUDE CHECK THIS LOGIC SONG YOU MIGHT LIKE THIS ONE!!!! OH MY GOD LIKE OH GOD DOIN IT FOR THE SQUAD"
SitruK6 09.07.16	Lmao
AlexKzillion 09.07.16	Then it goes "Eh it's just kind of- DUDE STOP TALKING THE GOOD PART'S COMING logic starts rapping really fast LIKE HOLY FUCK THAT WAS FIRE RIGJT??? RRRRIIIGGGHHHTTTTTT???????!!!
Mystletainn 09.07.16	What sane person would listen to u2 over pop?
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	@themralexk i suppose you then go for a cheeky nandos?
ZippaThaRippa 09.07.16	I have a buddy who's really into music. We don't have much overlap anymore but back in the day we listened to the same hardcore bands. Nowadays he listens to technical metal, jazz and hip hop. Not much stuff that I care for but we still trade cool songs from time to time. He can tolerate a little bit of black metal.
AlexKzillion 09.07.16	@Asleep Oh yeah
CalculatingInfinity 09.07.16	@themralexk: That sounds like torture.
ZippaThaRippa 09.07.16	Just tell em what you feel. Tell em that Logic sucks.
Typhoon24 09.07.16	i just have 2 really..maybe 3. everyone else just isn't into music or they like bullshit
EyesWideShut 09.07.16	only 1 one other guy tbh.. every now and then ill run into someone who knows some hip hop.. havent talked metal with someone in like a decade.
Yotimi 09.07.16	My 4-year-old daughter is into Weezer, The Cure, Pixies, TNGHT, Wire, Blink-182, and Ace of Base. We chat sometimes.
Funeralopolis 09.07.16	My best friend is pretty into music as well but into different music than me, he likes a lot of obscure progressive rock but he's pretty open to checking new stuff
Hurricanslash 09.07.16	I have 2 good friends with which I can talk Hip-Hop, we also do listenings of new albums together, which is pretty fun since we all have different approaches to music and the reactions can get quite funny. sometimes. Also, I can talk a lot of music with my girlfriend, with her putting me on music and vice-cersa, it's awesome! Aside from that, not really anyone else. Especially with Hip-Hop, and if you guys knew the extent of stupidity in the german hip-hop scene, you'd understand. HARD.
AlexKzillion 09.07.16	@Zippa I'm trying to stray away from telling people their taste sucks because I used to do that all the time and that did me no favors.
Typhoon24 09.07.16	yeah sometimes u just gotta pop the trunk
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	"Also, I can talk a lot of music with my girlfriend, with her putting me on music and vice-cersa, it's awesome!" thats cool man, I had that with my ex which was pretty fun, though she wasn't that receptive to stuff out of her comfort zone
Gmork89 09.07.16	I have a couple of friends and relatives that are into music like I am, it's pretty sweet.
ArsMoriendi 09.07.16	Yeah I talk about music with some of my friends. One of my new roommates is obsessed with Primus and I got him into Tom Waits :)
TwigTW 09.07.16	irl, lots of my friends are ushers. ushers can see 2-3 shows/bands a week, so we're always talking about music. usually on the way to-and-from a show.
BlueSwan 09.07.16	friends?
AtomicWaste 09.07.16	"Also, AtomicWaste and I are IRL bros, we went to college together and were roommates for a bit. Our mutual love for Buckethead is what initially brought us together, even if we don't care for him so much anymore. We have had many a discussion about music." This is true. Dino introduced me to Sput, actually. So if you get banned, blame him :) I'm still kinda bummed we didn't get to see Buckethead that one time we had tickets and I got real sick. Dino is also single-handedly responsible for me having any interest whatsoever in ska because he used to jam it all the time and now I do too. We trade suggestions here and there whenever something cool pops up (like he turned me on to Monobody which was awesome). In addition to DJ, I'm lucky enough that a couple of my childhood friends were really into music. Their interest really kinda sparked my initial interest and it's been a consistent topic since about 7th grade. One buddy is a prog-head drummer that really turned me onto Dream Theater and Rush and we share a mutual love for Flying Colors that got us playing music together. Another has wandered more into electronic/indie stuff, but turned me on to Bowie and we share a lot of eclectic interests like WU LYF and The Residents. I've always been kinda the middle-ground between the two of them musically. I also have a handful of friends who are musicians or who I can talk music with, even if we don't have similar taste. A good number of my friends have been in bands since they were kids and they tend to attract other musicians who then become friends and it just kinda keeps going. I really dig it because even if our tastes don't jive I usually pick up at least something from them and I hope they get something from me.
AtomicWaste 09.07.16	Also I have a friend who always takes over playing music at parties and everyone hates it. It's the no-talent-needed version of an angsty white kid with an acoustic guitar.
AsleepInTheBack 09.07.16	damn Atomic youve got it lucky with so many people you can chat with about this stuff.
AtomicWaste 09.07.16	Yeah, man, it's pretty rad. Unfortunately, not many of them dig Orbs, though.
DinosaurJones 09.07.16	One day I'll get around to listening to ORBS, I promise. You know I'm bad at checking out new things.
AtomicWaste 09.07.16	"One day I'll get around to listening to ORBS, I promise. You know I'm bad at checking out new things." I do the same thing with some stuff you share, so it's all good, I understand! I thought you liked Giving Tree, though, so I'm surprised you haven't checked the full album!
heck 09.07.16	my best friend in high school liked a lot of the same alternative and indie stuff that I did at the time and we'd talk about music and loan each other CDs and stuff. sadly he ended up renouncing rock music and cutting off contact with me after he became a super hardcore christian youth pastor type.
CrazyDiamond7 03.30.18	Arise thread, arise! I have one or two, but that's about it. I had one friend in high school that was big into it, but our tastes tended to diverge over the years, and due to personal reasons I've barely spoken to him in years. My sister and most of my other friends listen to either nothing but pop music, or have narrow taste in general. Also chatting with people at shows is always an option too.
ArsMoriendi 03.30.18	Certainly One of my friends/roommates is a bass guitar player who's really into jazz, funk, and prog metal. He's also a music major, so he knows way more about theory than I ever could haha. We bond over a shared appreciation for Primus and Zappa, but I think he likes jazz fusion stuff like Victor Wooten and Chick Corea the most. Another roommate of mine really likes the modern lo-fi scene stuff and Spanish music. I think his favorite of the lo-fi stuff is this band called Jerry Paper. My best friend loves music, but he's really mostly been listening to trap lately which kind of annoys me because I used to like things he was getting into. He got me into Big Black back in high school though, back when he was more into punk, noise, and other stuff like that... he had a whole Wolf Eyes phase (oh god) I feel like finding people passionate about music isn't hard honestly
Dewinged 03.30.18	Absolutely none at the moment. I used to when I was in university etc, but now is like... Sput exclusive.
butcherboy 03.30.18	a whole bunch.. most former band-mates are still as passionate in rambling about music.. if you put on your playlists in a bar, eventually they gravitate.. I got into a wild ranging conversation about noise rock with a guy just a few weeks ago, he really knew his stuff..
UpwardSpiral 03.30.18	Yes one with exactly the same taste, although I rarely see him. We hadn't seen each other for years and then we realized we were listening to the same music and both adored the Glow pt 2. Now it's just messaging some recs once in a while. I get really passionate talking about music
AsleepInTheBack 03.30.18	Huh, cool to see this list revived. Things have changed for me a bit since, my girlfriend digs music and will try pretty much anything. A couple of mates of mine from uni also chat music with me, though it's all pretty pedestrian.
MarsKid 03.30.18	I've never bonded with anyone IRL over music lol. All I'm apparently known for is "angry screamy guy" music so you get what you get I suppose. Anyone I talk to music about just looks bored. But I could just be a shit person not gonna rule that out
