One of the areas that Mack and I share pretty common interests is our music taste. We both enjoy a wide variety, and managed to get the other hooked on some music (I introduced him to Shiny Toy Guns, E-Type, and Bodies Without Organs (LOL) to name a few you might want to check out). 

There are, however, a few areas that we actually do differ in our taste.

While yes, I do enjoy techno music, not all of it catches my fancy. For example, after hearing Cowgirl over and over with it repeating the same lyrics, it started to grate on my nerves. 

Now, before Mack flies off into a fury (seeing as he just told me “Fuck off” for stating that “Cowgirl” sucks), I do the exact same thing if I like a song. Lately, his big irritation with me is the fact I downloaded the Mamma Mia soundtrack and have been listening to it on repeat. Granted, I was a fan of ABBA before, but hello? a movie where they sing and dance and generally kind of make asses of themselves? SIGN ME UP. 

And, yes, I also like weird foreign music. I lived in Japan for a year, so I like Japanese pop music. This has also expanded into other culture’s music, due to making friends from different countries who were exchange students in Japan with me. I also have music from random musicals and movie soundtracks in iTunes. But trust me, all the music I like is good, else why would I listen to it? 

Mack is often a gentleman, and let’s me blast my music as we’re working on the stereo in the office (something we haven’t actually set up in Florida yet since we’re lazy busy). Often, in those cases, he’ll put his headphones on and just listen to his music and let me enjoy mine. Lately, though, he’s just taken to wearing the headphones when he gets home and sees me going for iTunes since he knows I’ll be playing Mamma Mia. I think it is part the music, part it being ABBA, and part him knowing he’s getting dragged to the movie kicking and screaming since I want to see it, damn it. 

Just as an example of how awesome my music taste is, I give you this music video which I have seriously had to refrain from laughing my ass off about: 

OH HI, I SEE YOU THERE FABIO! I especially love 1:51 in the video where he does the ass smacking gesture. My love for E-Type will still be strong, despite their wonderful music videos. 

Oh yeah, you’re also welcome for linking that gem.
