Hm, this is an interesting one. I dunno- I bet most people look at me and probably think my musical tastes start somewhere around Regina Spektor and end at A Fine Frenzy, so I'd say almost all of my library might surprise.. someone *shrugs*. I try not to be a snob about it, but I do like when I can find cool stuff I've never heard of before.

It may sound kind of weird, but it's like an opportunity to step back and think about the twists and turns of your life that have brought you in contact with that particular piece of music. Like I probably never would have heard about The Real Tuesday Weld if I didn't watch that one Shawn/Lassiter fanvid way back when. And if I hadn't been in that one H&M store at that one particular time, I may never have heard The Rifles. I wouldn't have found Slavic Soul Party! if I didn't read that one Live Free or Die Hard fanfic. I'd never have known Chumbawumba did a song as awesome as Don't Try This At Home if I didn't watch Revengers Tragedy, which I wouldn't have seen if I didn't become a fan of CE, which I wouldn't have done if I didn't watch Heroes and/or Doctor Who.

So, anyway, hey let's dig deep. Talk about odd, I remember this song primarily from the soundtrack of the Pauly Shore/Stephen Baldwin vehicle Bio-Dome. Years later, Dirty Jobs came along, and used it for their theme song, which inspired me to track it down for myself. It's We Care a Lot by Faith No More, and it pretty much rocks. And I'm fairly certain it would give people a bit of a turn if they heard me listening to it.

Heh, I don't think I would've recognized that as the theme song for Dirty Jobs. Of course I haven't actually watched Dirty Jobs in a while, which may be why.

Man, if I hadn't watched Gilmore Girls and found MV to be entirely adorable, I probably wouldn't have watched Heroes. And if I hadn't watched Heroes, I wouldn't have...gotten into fandom like I did, certainly, even beyond never quite realizing who CE was. That doesn't have much to do with music, except that without fanmixes my range in music choices would've been seriously limited.

Aw, it's a good show. Very entertaining, very informative.

I know, weird isn't it, when you think about it? I don't know who I'd be without fandom, but probably not someone I'd like to hang out with.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Oh it's a great show. I just never quite remember to watch it, and I so rarely watch anything other than The Daily Show/Colbert Report on TV anymore it's not like I'll flip through and find it.

Heh. I feel like I'd be a lot more studious, but a lot less happy. And probably much less open minded.

Ye-eah, I don't catch it as often as I'd like. Seems like Discovery Channel's being overrun with "survival" shows and industrial fishing shows.

Maybe I'd be more social, but I really think I would've missed out on a lot of great stuff.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah, like the History Channel, which is showing some variant of ancient battle reenactments every time I happen to flip onto it. TV shows these days, what are they coming to.

Psh, this is social enough for me.

Well, that I'm not too surprised about. What I don't like is when they stuff the schedule with "end of the world/apocalypses/biblical prophecies" programming.

Hrm, I guess it's okay, for a little while.

If I had to pick something it would surprise me if you listened to it... country! *laughs*

But yeah, it is weird how things work. Like visiblemarket I only decided to watch Heroes because I liked MV so much in Gilmore Girls.

Well, I'm happy to say I own The Legend of Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline's "Walkin' After Midnight," and I feel like I might appreciate Hank Williams if I heard more of him, so y'know.

And that's one very good thing I can attribute to Gilmore Girls. ;)
