It all depends on the scene you are stuck in.

Where I live, everything is made a fool of. And it just doesn’t seem right, being in such close proximity to New York, and the town is the Mutha Funkin’ birthplace Of Charles Ives! The buttholes at the local bar we just played our last show at were nice, but just plain never get, or ever got what the hell we were all about. I overheard the door guy commenting on the band that opened for us (some awful metalish band with some concessions made to stay current… which translates to a sort of “Stone Temple Pilots” blob of shit…) they were “like Incubus…” and then he added, “or, like, back when Incubus were still awesome…”.

Then, at the same time, I play with a really great group of older “free jazz/experimental” fellows that look down their nose at me on occasion because my tastes are not “weird” enough.

Or the lady at work next to me right now who looked at my cd’s the other day and told me that it was “loser music” because they have no “hits”. She has, right now, no joke, a “Celine Dion/Anne Geddes” calendar hanging in her iso-cube.

Oh and my wife thought I was a lil nancy boy because I told her I cried once while listening to Judee Sill. I can’t get away from this shit.

Christina Aguilera

People dont generally give me shit for liking her, but that's probably because I dont make that great an effort to talk to most of them about what a fine, fine singer I think she is. If I did, then I'd be "that annoying Christina Aguilera fan-guy," and I'd hate me too. And I'd probably want to give me shit for it.

But yes, Ms. Aguilera, she would be the one. Salut, Ms. A!

There are probably others.

I've managed to win my wife around to the Fall, Will Oldham, Smog ... even jandek ... but my song poem anthologies have her reaching for the shotgun.

My friend Adam checked out At Action Park in his car when he picked up Nicola from work. Nicola said (and I quote):

"This is dickhead music. If you listen to this music you'll be a dickhead."

I always wonder about that...

...that's all I can think of.



And are you really surprized about getting shit for ANB?
