Music's supposed to be an escape from real life, damn it. Hence why I listen to it at volumes that drown out all other sounds.

This is true. I hate it when I have headphones on and people just talk more loudly to compensate.

I HAVE THEM ON BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU, DUMBASS.

Someone needs a computer made more recently than the Stone Age so that they can use bit torrent!

My music volume has been a constant conflict in my house for six years. Part of it is because I'm hard of hearing and listen to everything at higher volumes, annoying the rest of my household. Other part being I drown out others with music, and none of them do. My father doesn't even listen to music, so there's that.

I once had someone threaten to call the police on me because of music volume. True story.

I love chatty old codgers on trams and trains who just don't get the concept of an iPod and keep talking to you anyway.

And by love, I mean hate.

One of my better 1,000 milestone posts, if I say so myself...

Music volume. Well, my folks have no problem with me playing music over speakers, but I never do because they hate much of what I listen to. Just common courtesy, really. I enjoy headphones, but I'm longing for the day music can be wirelessly transfered into your brain.

I almost always use headphones because, well, the sound quality is better. I only use speakers when I'm doing something out of reach of my headphone cable.

Plus I think I might scare the neighbours with some of my metal.

I can't listen on headphones because then my parents get pissed off when they yell for my attention and I don't respond. So, I listen to music on my iHome. At a relatively low volume.

Describes my father to a T.

Him: You know, back in my day, we didn't wear our hair like that. It was much longer, actually.

Me: *points to headphones*

Him: Those weren't invented until around 1968. We listened to the Beatles on them...it wasn't that great, now that I think of it.

But in this scenario, Radiohead makes money. Can't we make them quit another way?

Dad: All you do is sit in your room playing music, playing guitar, and using the computer.

PF26: No, I don't.

Dad: Yes you do.

PF26: Well, I do it a lot, but not all the time.

Dad: What else do you do?

PF26: Go to school, eat, go out with friends.

Dad: Ever exercise?

PF26: Sure.

Dad: When?

PF26: ... sometimes.

Dad: Go out and run or something, please!

PF26: [resists temptation to comment that father is gaining weight rapidly from lack of exercise]

I'm OK with that.

I mean, honestly, there were like 7 parts of discussion for the release of one album. Even if you like them ... c'mon.

I love it when my father complains about my hair when it goes into mini-'fro mode. I just ask him what his looked like at my age and he shuts right up.

Both of my parents complained about my hair tonight.

I am getting it cut in a week, but I'm tempted to hold it off just to piss them off.

Especially because that album was laughably bad. I still laugh thinking about 15 Step. You could've tricked me into thinking that album was by a band sending up Radiohead.

I tried to grow my hair out once...I looked like an ass.


Now, my parents never complain because I keep it short-ish. Fuck long hair for the sake of having long hair..

 

[phillyfan26]

For reference, my hair is similar length to ... I suppose John Frusciante at Live Earth.

 

[phillyfan26]

That's the guy on the right, for non-RHCP/Frusciante fans.

I want to grow my hair longer but it just curls. It's good for the October-era Adam 'fro but little else. Thing is, I hate haircuts, and my hair grows like a weed. I always have to have my hair cut shorter than I'd like to avoid going to the hairdresser every bloody month.

Damnit, I'm going to have to have my hair cut in the next fortnight or so ...

Go back to the very beginning of B&C history, and you'll know precisely why this occurred.
