I just had a conversation with someone about music. Someone I don't really like that much, but am forced to put up with for many reasons. It was depressing.
I don't understand how something so important to me can be taken for granted by people like her.
I don't get it.
That's my complaint.
Goodnight.
There is a "RElATIONSHIP" that CAN be achieved through music. When it comes to peoples relationship with music, some people are an aquaitance, some are friends, some are good friends, some are BEST friends, some are lovers, and then there are us.......THE SOUL MATES!!!!!!!!

just as
fire understands all can't be fire because the planet would burn up and
water understands all can't be water because we would drown.
it all evens out and it all serves purpose.
it is what it is
Some people don't get MMJ because they are not mainstream enough. They are so shallow, they only follow the lead of others and select music that is popular. Be strong, and know you have the "Jacket" community behind you in whatever music you like!

Nice post, I like that a lot :)

and like good bourbon, a misty morning walk amongst the pine trees, a lobster dinner, or a hot bath with candles, some people just don't get it.
some folks just walk right past the finest things in life because they're either bored silly or just plain dumb.
the boys are getting so damn DEEP up in this mutha!
jenny, while you're very passionate about music, that may be the medium in which you find yourself most at ease and at peace. maybe this other person feels that way about ballet, or woodwork, or gardening or knitting and thinks you're a complete buffoon for not sharing those interests. we can't all get off on the same things.
some people just hear the world differently. i find most metal music impossible to listen to while my metal friends think that neil young is boring.
yeah that's spot on, wellfleet. we all have our own passions about life that speak to us.
most everyone around here knows i'm a nature nerd, but what i dont understand is people who actually spend the time to come out in the middle of nowhere and come to the forest, then spend their time talking loudly, throwing trash down and not enjoying the scenery around them.
it's a mystery, i guess.
I guess. But at the same time, I don't want it to be like that.
I'm selfish, I guess :-[.
seriously, though. Despite all these deep understandings, I dont' get it. It's not you all. It's me being stubborn. Butttksjadlvgkajseg,lajse sstillllllllllllllllllll............
I do get it. I just don't want to. :D
i understand where you're coming from jenny... i'm like that too with music... maybe i get a bit judgemental? dunno. one of my friends actually asked me if i was still going to talk to her after she told me she didn't like the manic street preachers!! must have had my "judgemental-music-snob" face on that day!!
;)

absolutely - i've just planned a three week holiday to look at buildings, which, while i'm 100% SURE all of you would think is completely nerdy & boring... but i think it's going to be great...
i was one of those snobby-awful-judgmental-music-fascists until i started to work in a record store and work with industry-types on a regular basis.
i discovered things that i *thought* i would naturally despise. i never, ever, ever listened to country music, then i began to discover country acts that really spoke to me.
even the aforementioned metal, i found acts that i could get into like In Flames.
i used to look down on people who listened to radio top-40 type music and then i saw the appeal of a kelly clarkson or a justin timberlake. i think i just kind of got over myself, you know?
ali... i love buildings and architecture. i think original wood support beams sexy. case-study houses and Eames House and cobblestone and thinking about function and form... i love it! nerds are cool!
i definitely have my music snob side, but i just tend to bury it most of the time. i often think someone is a complete moron because some certain band or song doesnt speak to them. then i realise i listen to a lot of things that im not sure most people could stand. its just a mood, i guess.
basically, i dont get what i just said.
im following the thread of this theme perfectly. ;)

hahahahhahahhahahahha, i'm an idiot. maybe i'm dislexic. either way, that makes everything funnier.
dfjlaskdjfalksjetas.dgbas hahah.
"the thread of this theme" ij sut realized you said. i wasn't even laughing at yer typo. i was just laughing at the general idea. at what you were trying to get at.
s'hdfalksdjfla;ksjdtla,sdmgbas34trwgdas. ahhah. dumb.
okay bye.
Quoteim going to leave my typo as is because well, you know....
Yeah, it was funny already but the typo kicked some major ass.
I too went through my own sob phase and I am still somewhat of an elitist. But I can be a snob within bands I like – Sublime is historically my favorite band and I won't listen to the self titled album, I think it's their weakest effort and the only album with their name on it that has songs I skip. So in pointless defiance I lift my nose to it.
But aside from that I usually make an effort to at least sit down and give anything a good listen, though there are exceptions to the rule. I try to hear what's going on in the music and there are certain bands (MMJ included) that I got into based on a friend's opinion or a simple recommendation that I trusted. But I like music, it's my thing, I look for it, read about it, talk about it, go listen to random ass bands and small venues whose acts, more often than not, I enjoy.
However, if you were to talk to me about movies I'd be lost and disinterested. I've never seen The Godfather or anything by Kubric other than Clockwork Orange. It blows my friends minds that I don't know crap about movies, but they just don't do it for me, which is very well how people who can't get into certain music may be; it simply doesn't tickle their fancy and there is very little that can be done about that.
this is very interesting because i LOVE the movies, i think i know a bit about film, and i'd never seen all the Godfather movies until 2005.
i've still never seen any Star Wars movies but i'm obsessed with Indiana jones.
i think working at the store and seeing all these artists stream through, i listened to stuff just to see what it's like. i listened to tim mcgraw and liked some stuff. i got into some emo stuff. i even tried some club-style music and liked it. i listened to more mainstream hip-hop than ever before and some of it was lots of fun... i found that expanding my musical horizons made me more mellow in other aspects. i'm trying to get to the point where if someone disagrees with me, they're no longer an idiot who knows nothing, but simply someone with a different take. it's a growth process. i'm still working on it... ;)

this is fantastic news. i really hate movies, to be honest. i'll watch the simpsons, king of the hill, seinfeld, and curb your enthusiasm, but i have no interest in movies anymore. i, too, get flak from a lot of people that can't understand why i won't watch movies, considering how much i'm in to music. they seem to think the two go hand in hand, but i find movies terribly boring, no matter the genre, or the length of the film. sue me.
all right wellfleet, that's it. i hate movies, you love them.
let's fuckin' fight!
;D

well i wouldn't say that i hate movies, they just aren't my bag. I'll sit and watch them its just that ADD usually wins. Its also hard for me to find 2 hours to sit on my couch. But i don't even watch TV that much - but thats cause i can't stand comercials.

well power to you Wellfleet, i'm sure you'll find your peace soon enough.
ratsprayer... you wouldn't get IT if it came in a large bag marked "IT"!!!!!!!!! by not watching movies, you are sealing yourself off from an entire cultural experience and depriving yourself of an education in popular culture. no wonder ohio is the dumbest state in the union. we have a saying in arkansas... "thank god for ohio".
>:(
;D
at first i thought curb your enthusiasm was really really irritating, now i'm pretty sure i'm the chick larry david. i LOVE the jewish gags like when he's hugging on his manager's german shepherd and says "it's nice to show affection to something german, you don't get to do that very often." or when he eats the baby Jesus from the cookie nativity scene... i think we've just finished with season 3... the restaurant opening, i almost wet myself...
i love watching movies - not so much at home on tv, which is still good (nothin better than curling up on the couch on a rainy sunday & watching a good flick) but at the cinema - you can really get completely enveloped by a cinematic experience - the combination of sound & visuals.... i just love it. the only thing that stops you actually BEING there is your sense of smell...
i was a little shocked by my brother recently stating that he doesn't read books anymore.... that is one thing i don't understand! fair enough if you listen to music i don't personally like/agree with/understand, but at least you're listening to SOMETHING!!! the same with books - i just absolutely love books, i find it difficult to get how you can not read (something, anything)!

i'm with you on this one wellfleet!! i never thought i'd be into anything even remotely "country" but... i'm liking it! although we're probably talking alt-country here, not country-country... that's still scary unknown territory in ali-ville...
;)

In Japan they have smell-o-vision for The New World.
"Theater chains looking to enhance the overall movie-going experience may want to follow in Japan's footsteps and bring back Smell-O-Vision. That's right folks, seven different distinct smells will accompany Terrence Malick's The New World when it's released in Tokyo next month.
Created by NTT Communications Corp., this version of Smell-O-Vision will not just match scents up to certain scenes. Instead, it is hoping to tap into the emotion of a scene by releasing a pleasant fragrance throughout the theater. For example: If it's a love scene, then a floral scent will roam about. In a sad scene, the smell of peppermint and rosemary will take over. Oh, and every time Colin Farrell is on screen, the smell of hot will engulf all females present. Guys, start growing a goatee."
