Jethro Tull? Me? Nooooo, it was the Velvet Underground the whole time. Honest.

Confess, now:

Sometimes I am such an utter dork that it makes my teeth hurt.

You could've blamed the virus from "Virus Alert":

It'll melt your face right off your skull
And make your iPod only play Jethro Tull

I turn down the radio, myself. And when I leave the car for an oil change, I turn off the radio so the workers don't change the channel.

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

But...um...I like Jethro Tull. *blares "Baker Street Muse" yet again*

[jesshartley.livejournal.com]

No, but I turn down/off the radio, as that's polite. :)

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, at the speaker, I turn it off. At the window itself, though, I'll generally have it on, and that's where the vanity kicks in.

[jesshartley.livejournal.com]

Mine comes out in other ways. :)

It's interesting to know that other folks have other "quirks" though... sometimes I think I'm the only one. :)

[mlfoley.livejournal.com]

After all, everyone is impressed by The Misfits!

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

Yes, but you're cooler than I am.

[mlfoley.livejournal.com]

LOL!

[nonethewiser.livejournal.com]

I heff no car.

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

Details, details. *grin*

[bikergeek.livejournal.com]

At a *drive-through*? Hardly. I'm past the age where I need to impress anybody with my knowledge of obscure bands. I did college radio 20 years ago, TYVM.

There was a weird realization I had when I started my first Real Job: in a conversation with a co-worker of my own age, I realized that nobody there cared what kind of Indie Rock I knew about. I'd just emerged from years of college and grad school, you see, and Establishing Hipster Credentials had been a major part of life for so long that it was both liberating and disappointing to see it go.

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

It's annoying that employers don't appreciate inclusion of a Hipster Cred category on your resume.

[odheirre.livejournal.com]

I switch from White Stripes to Olivia Newton John and ABBA.

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

And that is why I love you, Bryan.

[odheirre.livejournal.com]

Hey, I like ELO. I have no pride.

[captain18.livejournal.com]

Being the iconoclast I am, if I don't turn the music down entirely, I'll play something odd. When I was in high school I was famous for going through the drive-thru playing songs from Tiny Toons and Animaniacs.

[spoothbrush.livejournal.com]

*nods* I turn off the radio when playing an order. Sometimes I'll play deliberately awful yet fun songs at the pickup window.

However, I also drove around my hometown blasting bagpipe music as a teenager, so my Cool Music credentials are either "Not in a million years" or "so much more than a counter jockey could ever hope for", and I am content with this.

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

It's all good.

[weyrdbird.livejournal.com]

I'd be more likely to turn up the bagpipes just to watch their expression when the feedback blew the speakers:D.

LTNS, Adam:D.

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

Okay, I've been staring at your user infor for five minutes, and I absolutely give up. Who am I talking to?

[weyrdbird.livejournal.com]

Abby.

I'm a friend of Lauren's and yours from way back in CU.
Unless somehow there are are two of you that went there
at the same time.

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

Omigod, hi! *grin* It has been a long time! How's things? What've you been up to? And how in Hades did you find me?

[weyrdbird.livejournal.com]

Well, I live in the Land of Cheese (Wis), unlike California who is trying to take the dairy claim away:D. I've been cooking for a living and doing this lj thing for about 5 years now. I was plonking names of people of long ago (for fun)in *google* of all things and your name came up with an lj login next to it.
When I saw the icon I was pretty sure it was you, but I actually had to read some stuff to be sure.Livejournal sure is a useful tool. You meet all kinds of weird folks 'round here. And a good thing, too:D.

[botia.livejournal.com]

No, but then again, I don't have anything I'm embarrassed to be listening to in public. I'm so cool.

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

Well, there you go.

[fibro-witch.livejournal.com]

Seeing as I was listening to 'Crunk 3' at the drive in today, I did turn it down so I could teach the woman at the drive through how to say COFFEE BLACK, NOW!!

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

*giggle* "And an IV drip, stat!"

[issendai.livejournal.com]

Oh hell, yes. I listen to stuff so hopelessly geeky that I turn it off rather than have to explain what it is. ("What's that?" "A musical called Godspell." "Gospel? You're listening to gospel music?" "No, GoDspell. It's a musical." "What kind of music is that?" "...It's what happens to rap when it hits Belgium, can I have my donuts now?")

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

"What kind of music is that?" "...It's what happens to rap when it hits Belgium, can I have my donuts now?"

*falls out of chair laughing* Ow. Cherry Coke and my sinus passages are not getting along right now....
