My CD collection is a stack of CDs sitting in my car.
One single, no EPs. Most singles/EPs I'd want are vinyl only, so I only have mp3s.
I've only ordered one physical thing off of the Internet (that Floor compendium I mentioned a while back), and I can't remember how many albums I have on MP3, but it's probably less than ten. MP3s and the Internet in general is such a chore and a pain to me when it comes to music, I just look around the stores and the various nooks and crannies where music might be hiding to keep it nice and simple. Plus that has a sense of accomplishment and even adventure to it that I sorely need these days.
So I feel like everything about my post in "dream girl/guy" reads as "Rose will be dating her fingers for the foreseeable future."
-Intelligent and values education.
-Can carry on conversations about various "high culture" topics I care about (like classic literature or films, classical music, etc.) but isn't a snob - and particularly, won't make fun of me for some of my geekier or more "embarrassing" pop cultural interests.
-Open-minded, not sexist, racist, homophobic, etc.
-Nice person, funny, all that kind of stuff.
-Is not someone who is "clingy" or needs to be in a relationship to be happy. Independent and will give me my own space.
-Has at least some interest in politics/what is going on in the world.
And probably left-of-center - otherwise, I think we'd be constantly at each others' throats. ;-)
-Gives at least a few shits about basic personal hygiene/how they present themselves to the world. So sick of dudes with greasy hair. Ugggghhhh puke in my mouth.
Physically, in men I don't like them to be shorter than me,
and I'm not that into long-haired guys
I usually am into people who have kind of a geeky or scholarly look to them. Glasses, sweaters, you know what I mean.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not a Radiohead super-fan (I mean, they are one of my favorite bands, but I don't feel like I have the depth of obsession with Radiohead that so many of their HUGE fans have) - but I'm kind of surprised that Kid A is hard to find in any form.
Anyway, because I apparently haven't gotten enough of "stupid ultra-divisive fandom debates" from the 2003 FMA anime vs. Brotherhood debate, where do you guys stand on the whole "early, alt-rock, The Bends Radiohead" vs. "later, trippier, Kid A Radiohead" thing? ("You guys" meaning any Radiohead fans in the thread.)
I know this is kind of a weird way of framing it because they're gone in different directions with their most recent albums, but I'm still just amazed at how many post-OKC Radiohead haters there are out there. Kid A is the whole reason I'm a Radiohead fan!

Kid A would be easy to find on Amazon or eBay. Now finding the two disc version of Liumin was very difficult, but I got it eventually![]()
God I'm so glad I found my earbuds. I thought I lost them!

Then again, I almost always prefer a band in their "experimental" or "trippy" phase if they have one.
I also like the Beatles' mid-sixties albums the best, too (though, doesn't everyone?)
I just think sticking to one genre or style or way of playing/writing is boring. As a composer myself, I would never want to be boxed in like that. There's so much good music out there in the world, why limit yourself to one small fraction of it?

I like their psychedelic period more than their standard pop rock phase, so post Rubber Soul.

Same. I mean, I love everything The Beatles did, but Rubber Soul through the White Album is the reason I'm so obsessed with them, and the reason they are as influential and important as they are. And the reason they inspired me to start writing music.
Basically, don't get me started talking about The Beatles, lol.
@Goodbye Blue Monday; Dating someone with a different idealogy that you could work. Opposites do attract. Look at James Carville and his wife.
I just feel so cliche that my favorite band is The Beatles.
But, I mean, c'mon. They're just SO GOOD. My musical taste has changed by leaps and bounds since I first became a Beatles fan, but they've always been at the top, at least when it comes to other popular music. (I think comparing The Beatles to, like, Wagner or Beethoven or something is too apples and oranges.)

Same with me and Pink Floyd. They will always be my favesies no matter what.

I don't listen to them as much as I should, but my mom has that one collection with the big yellow 1 on it, and I was really impressed with how much there is on it when I looked at the back. Definitely hijacking it someday.Radiohead are my favorites because I've gotten more out of them than any other band, and also that there is literally not a single thing they've made that I haven't thouroughly enjoyed.
