supposedly you can tell a lot about a person by what kind of music they are into. that’s why one of the first questions asked when meeting a new friend is “hey man, what kind of music are you into?” this is a huge crossroads in a conversation. what is the appropriate answer? its gotta be something safe, most people just say “oh you know bro, ill listen to pretty much anything” but that is most likely because at this stage in the relationship they don’t want to divulge their love affair for “blessed union of souls”… in 1997 it was really cool to answer with dave matthews but now in 2009 you would be ridiculed. these days if you don’t say either radiohead or foo fighters your pretty much ruined. some people will answer with an obscure band like ghostland observatory or ben kweller to create confusion. this strategy turns the tables. the person asking will immediately become self conscious because they are afraid they are not advanced enough to have ever heard of that particular artist.
as you become more comfortable with your friends the truths start coming out. this is demonstrated wonderfully in the form of a work carpool. in my case when i first started driving to work i barely knew my driver. when he arrived at my house the radio would always be safely left on a classic rock station because he knew i wouldn’t have the balls to say something about his taste for led zeppelin or the rolling stones. if something “bad” came on, like meatloaf, he would scoff and quickly change the station to sports talk radio. however, these days, years after the carpool started we are pretty good friends, and we were able to come to an understanding that we secretly and shamefully love passionate 80’s love songs. so when “shes like the wind” comes on we wait til the windows are safely rolled up and then turn up the radio.
girls are a different animal. ask any girl if she likes the beatles, or even radiohead for that matter, and they will say yes, regardless if they have ever listened to it because they think that others think that it is good music. lucky for girls they will never be called out like a man would be for two main reasons. the first reason is that other girls won’t do it because they are afraid that they will also be called out. the second is that guys wont do it because it will embarrass the girl, and an embarrassed girl is unlikely to give you a blowjob. that is why a girl can get away with wearing a cute sex pistols shit even though she has never heard a sex pistols song in her life.

another stupid article from a sexist moron
another stupid comment by a stupid girl. we appreciate your participation, but just shut up.
as a lover of bands like The Looking Glass and England Dan and John Ford Coley, I have to agree with a lot of what you said. As far as women that know about music, I think they are like informed voters in the US: Hard to find but they exist.
whats the over under on the idea that byrds ever gotten a blow job in his entire pathetic life?
clearly anon needs some help with the definition of basic gambling terms. had you said, “what are the odds?” or “over/under on the number of blow jobs” this would have been acceptable. as it stands you could have said yourself the trouble of looking like a moron by keeping your dumb fucking mouth shut.

i agree with pete, anon is just not utilizing the comparison to gambling well enough. plus the good senator receieves his daily blow job after breakfast from an imgross intern, i thought everyone knew this. this keeps the aging mastermind in check for the rest of the day. without his bj, he just blabbs in the corner for hours on end.

rachel, make a list of non stupid articles you would like to see the imgross.org team write about. anything from kazoos to transcendentalism.
scott, i have never heard of any of those bands. i would like to hear england dan though, purely because i like the name. is that shallow?
