100 Things That I Love About Music

#67. Headphones

Music created the necessity of privacy. Headphones are the instruments of personal space. Whether it is getting on a bus full of teenage mums or stuck in a queue of bog roll wielding middle age mums at a supermarket checkout, headphones are the perfect excuse to shut yourself away from planet banality AND not hear what some guffer had for tea last night whilst they are waiting for their pension.

Headphones can also transpose you into a different world entirely so that your trip to work is still enjoyable and realism is denied until you have to take the things off and listen to your inane workmates.

My pair also conveniently blockout both the missus's babble and this weeks TV (x-factor ATM). Sennheiser- I Love you.
 
Definitely not my cup of tea I don't think :P
But it is refreshing to see when most of the music industry (and all other arts industries) are pretty much dominated by the Western world.
 
#71. Never Mind The Buzzcocks

It has taken the rest of the world approx 20 series to work out what the Brits already know: NMTB is classic. Corabining two of our best hobbies: music and ripping the piss out of people. First Mark Lamarr and now Simon Amstell brightening up a traditionally dull Thursday with the token flavour of the week guest who is mercilessly torn into and the iconic guess who line up. Still going strong and eminently watchable, NMTB is one of the last few British exports worth shit these days.
 
I have never deleted anything from my music collection UNLESS it is badly tagged and I have no way of gaining the correct information. Many banRAB that I have gone back to a few months later take on a whole new meaning for me.



I know but it was on my list :(
 
i had never heard them before, so i gave the song a listen. i wouldn't say my ears were enjoying it, but it was one of those "this is so disturbing, i can't stop staring" kind of things. i...think...i like the song. i'm intrigued and need to find more.
 
You know, now that I look at it more closely I think I had that same one too! It wasn't my first walkman but one I inherited from someone a little later on. I remeraber I loved the fact that it had separate left and right volume sliders.
