Posted: 02.13.2002 Is this your CD collection?
Another interesting link snagged off Daypop... Todd and I are musical snobs. We'll be the first to admit it. Top 40 makes us break out in a rash and always has. We'd rather do Olympic pairs skating butt naked then be forced to listen to any song by Creed. Yes, I said any song by Creed. Although we don't usually listen to the same exact music -- thankfully I like what he likes, and vice-versa. Occasionally we'll trade new finds and both get hooked. And occasionally we'll revisit old loves and both get hooked. That said, this article really cracked me up!
"You like to think that you are cool. And, hey, let's not be snobbish - maybe you are. You wouldn't have any rubbish like Sting or Dire Straits in your CD collection. Enya? Clannad? That's all for old farts, right? And you know that you are culturally aware...But music is a bit of a problem. Are you as hip as you were, or at least as hip as you used to like to think you were? Not really...
You're middle class, in your thirties or thereabouts, and, even though you don't like music as much as you used to, you still want to be part of the scene, even if that only amounts to having some CDs that won't disgrace you when friends leaf through your collection.
Here's how to find out if you are part of the Dido demographic. If you have 12 of the following albums among your CDs, you're a Dido. If you have any more than that, seek help. We're not sure from whom, but seek it anyway."
Want to know our score?
I only got 4. What does this all mean? How does it affect my existence? Agh!! ¤ ¤ credit: andrea | 02.14.02 at 12:05 AM | link--this ¤ ¤yeeeee-hawwwww!!! LMAO -- my mom can back me up that Slim Whitman infomercials on TBS when I was little would always result in an hour-long rant session, even at a tender young age. ;-) ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 02.14.02 at 12:39 AM | link--this ¤ ¤4 for us, although we already fall into the 'old fart' category by having not Enya & Clannad and have tons of 'rubbish' by Sting. Ah well! ¤ ¤ credit: Nikki | 02.14.02 at 02:47 AM | link--this ¤ ¤The only one I had was "The Joshua Tree," and that's because I really LIKE U2, wildly popular or not. I have a couple of other albums by them also. Incidentally, I also own a few by Enya and Sting. Hmm... actually, that makes an interesting mental picture... Enya and Sting collaborating? I bet it would be heavenly. I'm allergic to top-40 meself. Although for some reason I do find that Pink song "I'm Coming Out" catchy. ¤ ¤ credit: revolution9 | 02.14.02 at 07:50 AM | link--this ¤ ¤I am psyched I only had one of those albums. It was the legend of bob marley but I sold it and all my zeppelin collection back in college when I need some quick cash. Oh god, I have 11 of those albums and have downloaded some songs from all of the rest of them. I'm so ashamed. ¤ ¤ credit: Meredith | 02.14.02 at 10:54 AM | link--this ¤ ¤I have but one..."Solitude Standing" by Suzanne Vega. And it's on a tape...let it be known that I have not purchased any music on a cassette tape since 1992. I'm actually shocked that I only have three on the list. Dido being one of them. :-) ¤ ¤ credit: Rachel | 02.14.02 at 12:30 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Only 4! ¤ ¤ credit: Stephanie | 02.14.02 at 03:56 PM | link--this ¤ ¤I heartily agree: will someone shut Creed up?! ¤ ¤ credit: Ashley | 02.14.02 at 06:03 PM | link--this ¤ ¤
