I catch Psyko on myspace every now and then. My orgbabydaddy definately knows his stuff. Plus, he is a hell of a musician.

I don't exactly have a soul mate, but there are people whose intellect & knowledge impress me

The Audience has vast knowledge, and comes very close to having the same sensibilities as I do about music.

Anx impresses me with his intelligence & humor (totally unrelated to music)

NDRU said:

I get things from everyone here. Perhaps a bit more from tA. I don't think our sensibilities are the same but his music suggestions are always on point...sometimes in uncanny ways, even.

"Drag" out on the town? I'm always out on the town. But I must admit that between work and being busy cutting this 15 song album (ask Paligap and Minnie G), time in the evening is of the essence. I do recall of a Lewis Taylor gig you and I were SUPPOSED to have gone to together. But uh, who was out of town? (screams) YOU were! Then Lewis damn near lost his voice and ended up cancelling the show anyways. I had bought my ticket and everything.

And again, let me stress;, this thread isn't about who u all like. That's so...grade school and shit! (smile) U could perhaps not even dig someone on here and they could STILL be your musical soulmate. A lot of times, it's not even about who u like and dislike. U may not like spinach, but it doesn't change the fact that it's good for u. Hell, Popeye could have hated that shit for all we know. I just know when it was time for him to get down and he needed to whoop Brutus's ass, what did he turn to? Many times, folks dislike the very thing that they need.

Ouch.....lol.

blackguitaristz said:

This is an interesting thread/concept, but there are only so many of us in here. What are the odds of finding this musical soul mate (as you've defined it)?

Would you settle for best-of-the-lot musical soulmate?

Could it be that M:N-P is one collective musical soulmate?

anon said:

It shows how personal music is that none of us have exactly the same taste. I like legends generally, but even my obvious tastes don't precisely match those of others.

In fact, to break it down to one artist, people can't even agree which Prince songs are good.

anon said:

Oh God no. We have a lot of people here who solely listen to pop music. Ewwwww.

NDRU said:

I agree.

But by Blackz definition, we don't have to have the same taste. It's about the deeper things...like how you experience the music and about Brutus and spinach.

Seriously, it is interesting. Like, which would you consider the better match:
The one with the exact playlist as you that could take or leave music or someone with a very different list that shared your passion for music?

Stymie said:

Yeah, and they become a part of the collective that balances it all out.
But that's a good point. Soulmate is supposed to be two sided isn't it?

anon said:

Sorry to butt in, but for me it would be someone who has "the passion", similar core interests, but is uniquely varied enough to where you could each provide the other with new musical experiences.

anon said:

interesting. There are a couple people here I might call the other side of my coin. I hear where they're coming from, it almost always makes sense, and it's intelligent, but I still don't agree.

theAudience said:

tA could never butt in as he's always welcome. Anyway, it's an open forum. But even if it weren't...

Anyway, I agree with you. Was just playing with this musical soulmate concept. It's interesting because there are so many facets to music and deciding which you value most, tells much about self.

Like, Sextonseven might not care what type music his soulmate listened to as long as they coordinated the entertainment and dinner around it.

NDRU said:

I wasn't picking either...was just raising the question. I think it's a combination of both. Someone with your level of passion for a music you really don't like, is probably not a good thing.

theAudience said:

yes, seems like a soul mate would come from a different place, with different experiences, or at least different sex (as the term is often used). Something different to share.

But they'd still have the same core (soul) as you once you dug past the surface

anon said:

It's not exactly that, though that happens, too.

It's more disagreeing on why something is good or bad or whether certain aspects of an artist can/should be seperated from their music

theAudience said:

There it is.

NDRU said:

See, THIS is what I'm talking about. There's something that's being fleshed out that has some depth to it. Anon and NDRU are working this shit out. Giving some thought to it. Something that is in all of us really, and that's the love for music. Either the love of making it or the love of listening to it or, in my case, both. For some folks, music has saved their lives. I'll say this, I would die, spiritually and perhaps even physically, if I could no longer make music.

After much contemplation, I have to say Gangstafam

because of the way he listens to music
because of the way he articulates his experience of music
because he understands when I speak in subtleties
on top of our special connection with a certain artist

anon said:

I never considered that--someone who values music in such a way that it needs to be in sync with certain events in your day.

sextonseven said:

This thread is like a class, huh?

blackguitaristz said:

He's kidding. He already does that. Well, he sometimes coordinates his movies with his meals.
Hope I have the right orger.

NDRU said:

But what if you're spinach mate is tA?
Would you have to pass him up because he's the wrong sex?

anon said:

no I just think they should have something new to offer, either cd's or different sex organs

anon said:

lol, that's me. I went to an Aterciopelados concert last night and I was annoyed that I didn't have any Latin food in the house beforehand. I was tempted to order in, but I need to save money.

sextonseven said:

But you still love me for other reasons, right?

Right?

minneapolisgenius said:

You dear, will always have a special place in my heart.

I stated in that other thread that we probably like opposite gender artists for the same reason. Not surprisingly the one genre we both like (glam) is the one where the artists' genders are more ambiguous.
