women who list 'conlon nancarrow' in their online dating profiles

you make me smile.

I started talking to this nice boy with whom I've been chatting for the past few months by searching for "Arnold Schoenberg" on OKCupid.

are you back to online dating, ian?

^^^ that is cute.

and who am i to judge, i'm pretty sure i list robert ashley as my favorite music. xp

i re-activated my okcupid account after being really depressed by being out at the bar last night. surely the internets cannot be bleaker than the east village at 2am.

they have a neutral smell

they're not women but they might be in the east village

i actually don't care too much for nancarrow. i can appreciate his work from an academic standpoint but what i've heard (some of the piano studies only, admittedly) was not to my taste.

just by phonetic association

His music is rhythmically insane, like separate melodic lines connected only harmonically but existing on a completely different temporal plane. I need to hear more, but from what I know he's fantastic.

yer pretty otm re: the structure & rhythm of the nancarrow i've heard. it's cool but really nothing to put on when you're having guests, imo of course.

am i really going to spend the rest of my night searching for really nerdy shit on okcupid? i bet a search for 'star trek' alone will keep me busy for hours.

"You had me at 'Adorno'."

pre-internet:
C/D - girl in hoodie standing in front of Safeway Grocery Store on Market St. in SF talking loudly on cellphone about "rad Charlemagne Palestine DVD" in a valley girl accent?

i told this story on ilm somewhere but i don't remember where. this 60-something grandmotherly woman came into the store and i thought she was gonna walk in and walk right out but she started looking thru records and then asked me if i had any harry partch or moondog or xenakis and i thought i was going to melt. and then she started telling me about her early 70's sound experiments! so cool. i sold her a lou harrison album and she was extremely happy. made my week. fell in love a little.

awwwww. that's a good story. did you get her name?

hahaha, ian wants some o dat.

it might be time to start dating women my own age :( there's gotta be SOMEONE out there for me!

not that i'm loldesperate or anything. ;_;

once you go gray...

Information No results found for "delia derbyshire nudes".

milton parker to thread

"Food: I don't eat seafood or white cheese."

^^^ dealbreakers. "white" cheese???

okcupid is like the worst thing in the world. all of these awful people all make so much money!

oh jeez my lowest point ever was when I had a profile on nerve.com for two weeks, and it was scary so incredibly scary on there. then I saw one ridiculously beautiful picture and she was an experimental filmmaker and I was all set to use one of my five free 'winks' on her, kill me, and then I noticed she listed this band I was in as one of her favorite musics and it was a true, horrifying test of how pathetic I was obviously already about to become

first date was ok but stiff and she cancelled our second date a few hours prior, telling me she'd spent the night before with someone she felt was 'the one'. then four years went by and out of nowhere she e-mails me asking me to score her new film and they're still together so I said yes and maybe I should try online dating again but I'm too busy listening to conlon nancarrow by myself alla time

(ps if you don't like studies 3a, 21 & 40b then you've got cloth for ears)

that is a good story. would definitely be stressful.

the weird thing about online dating, is that you're put in a position where you're asked to judge other people! as someone who tries not to make snap judgments of ppl but instead base my opinions of them on interactions, i find this difficult. so i just look at what books and music ppl like and it makes me feel like a jerk. also the basic "is this person attractive to me?" question can make me feel kinda shallow.

i met a really cool lady via ok cupid who works for aclu and plays gamelan. just didn't work out, personality-wise. but i didn't like anything in her music/movies favs which kinda of threw me for a loop because those things shouldn't really matter, right?

My library school crush moved. I was so bummed that I started an OKC profile.
I had a nice exchange with a woman from Republic, Missouri, who listed Throbbing Gristle in her favorite music.
Not sure if I'll ever be able to transition from the online environment to IRL meet up.
Fun distraction, anyway. it FEELS like I'm meeting people, anyway.

hahahahahahahahahaha jaymc I was waiting for that to cross over to ILX

let slip the dogs of -_-

stop caring about music so much

Tastebuds lets you meet like-minded single people who share your love for music. The site was founded by two musicians from London, UK – Alex Parish and Julian Keenaghan – after they found that existing dating websites failed to match people effectively on their mutual interests. Both founders are members of the band Years Of Rice And Salt and can be found at a venue near you trying to work out what makes music fans tick.

stop caring about music so much

srsly

"THE" years of rice and salt?!?!?!

Hm I havent looked at my OKC profile in a while, maybe I should actually look at it seriously now, haha ha ha haaaaa ugh.

Argh some 68 year old guy who looks like a professor just messaged me, yikes.

Am I a bad person for not messaging back someone who lists Lady Gaga as their favorite music? u_u

stop caring about music so much

srsly

seriously

my wife and i have distinctly different tastes in music and tv and movies and books but we've been together for 14+yrs. as long as you're open to learning something from someone or have other things in common (food seems to be more important imo) than it shouldn't matter. i have very few irl friends that have similar tastes in music w/me. that's what nerding out on the internet is for.

food seems to be more important imo

truth bomb

of course music taste is a very minimal part of someone's personality but with gay dudes and lady gaga listing her as a "favorite" is more like a part of a readymade "gay" image, as accepted and assimilated and digested without any discernment, which makes me think "like can't you tell you're buying into something totally calculated?" [/nonconformistteen]

jaxon OTM, my wife has terrible taste in music. <3 her anyway! =)

Obviously there are instances where similarities in taste in these things don't matter but sometimes it is indicative of larger things that do matter. I don't really know how to articulate what I'm thinking but I guess it just depends on the particular ppl involved and whether or not they can at least respect the other person's taste.

Oh is that what that thread is about? haha.

xp - ENBB otm - i think we collectively articulated it pretty well in one of the what a woman wants in a guy threads last year

Er, wtf, I think I posted that last post in the wrong thread!?

totally agree with jaxon but corey makes an excellent point re. filtering out gay dudes who are just totally predictable and generic.

What a loveable thread! But 'judgments' like the one at the beginning of the thread are only a beginning, a bit of info to latch onto and talk about, perhaps not.
