chrisp65 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Music is the one thing where our Venn diagram of love is at its narrowest. Food choices, decorating taste, holiday choices, safe word, we are really very compatible. Music taste, she’s shocking, absolutely shocking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely detest as they grate so much. Conversely she is extremely judgemental about the music I like. A lot of it is described as shit country music. She is wrong of course as sometimes it's shit bluegrass, shit western music or shit western swing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs M and I are pretty much on the same page with popular music (the 65-75 Golden Age). Where we differ is in the jazz and classical genres, where my tastes run more to discordant and hers to easy listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 It's not so much taste it's more that my missus would rather not listen to music, we can be in the car for an hour and she'll turn the radio off because she's had enough music for one day That to me is insane 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in fairness she did introduce me to classical stuff, so only junior level but I wouldn’t be listening to Holst, Handel, Saint Saens or whoever. Been to a few proms and Halle orchestra evenings and the like due to her so credit where credit is due. She does however have an absolute aversion to anything remotely jazz, if I suggest something might vaguely be labelled as jazz its got no chance. Dub, motorik, country, techno, punk, she has a spectacularly low tolerance of. It’s just music isn’t that big a deal, happy to put radio 2 on whilst doing chores and not really listen to it. Where I would rather turn the music off if the washing machine is on. I’ll listen to it properly later. We would very rarely go to live music together, but we’re both completely comfortable with that, we just do that bit of life differently. Around the house, we have bongos, a drum set, and a couple of cheapo guitars. She sees them as clutter, she was chuffed when the piano went a couple of months ago and we had space for a cupboard! She’s not really a monster, I’m just writing her that way. A weekend away and I’m working out the music for the car whilst she’s choosing the two different books she’ll be reading simultaneously once we get there. To my knowledge she’s currently on her third book in November. I think I’ve read 2 or 3 all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for taste she likes what I like and I got her into several bands/artists, but she also likes a wide variety of other stuff. There’s not much she doesn’t like tbf .

Xann Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 A couple of interesting albums this week. The Andre 3000. Loving some of the descriptions being banded on the various genre groups that don't know what New Age music is. Then the Calibre album 'Shelflife 8'. Do like D&B, but he's not someone I own on anything but comps or DJ sets. The album is a studio compilation of tracks that he'd only performed live from his career. Tunes from a particular tour, or events where he thought he should do something special. I like this concept. How many times have you been to gigs where something's been played that's never been released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Brown at Manchester vs Cancer, charity gig that other than him was incredible, he played a brand new song, people were not happy, he then **** it up half through and started again, he was close to being booed, he was absolutely dreadful From memory the rest of it was weller, noel Gallagher acoustic, charlatans, echo and the bunny men, Ian Brown but then during the night the likes of Peter hook, Bernard butler, Andy rouke, mani all joined in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
