This would have been a perfect entry for my previous blog, Pitch Attack.
Today's Metro has an interesting article written by Andrea Woo. In it, she opines that the music that people listen to is an important part of their identity; ergo, this is bound to have an impact when it comes to dating. She goes so far as to say that she has "a deep suspicion for anyone who doesn't listen to much of it." I won't spoil her article for you, but you might want to be extra careful if you listen to Matchbox Twenty or Lady Gaga.
I've previously joked that I'd dump any woman who didn't like Amon Tobin or drum 'n bass, but in all seriousness, Ms. Woo makes a valid point. For example, as a Christian who listens to Christian and secular music, I'm always cognizant of what any potential girlfriends will think of some of the music I have at home. Sure, I happen to enjoy the usual Christian suspects like Israel & New Breed and Kirk Franklin. Then again, I have a few Elton John CDs at home, along with Franz Ferdinand, Boards Of Canada, and Muse. Quite frankly, that wouldn't sit well with some people - not that it bothers me any.
Just to prove how eclectic my tastes are, have a look at my complete CD collection. The newest addition is Israel Houghton's The Power Of One, which I bought a few Sundays ago.
P.S. I hope Andrea likes Amon Tobin. ;-)
