My wife, the critic…
14 November 2007 in Music, Random, blah blah blahWhile I think the following thoughts will mostly hit home with male readers, you purdy females go ahead and read so you can get a glimpse into our soul (that may be overstating it a bit).
Between my wife and I, I am the BIG music fan. My wife likes certain songs and bands, but has little patience for something that isn’t catchy and something that doesn’t sound like she thinks it should sound (you’ll see what I mean). Below are examples of my wife’s critiques of various songs, cd’s, or artists that I am really into and want her to be as into as myself:
- Lost Boy Bleu Edmondson’s latest CD: “It doesn’t sound like him, why is it rock?”
Translation: “Why didn’t he record ’50 dollars and a Flask of Crown’ over and over again??”
- “22 Days Too Long” by Adam Hood: “I don’t like it when he repeats the ’21 days’ part…is he cute??”
Translation: She likes the music, and might like the lyrics if he is in fact a cutie.
- Ryan Bingham’s voice: “I like it.”
Translation: She likes it.
Do you guys see anything familiar? I thought so. I love my woman. Maybe I am the one that needs to change. Perhaps I make too much of the music that I like when I try to discuss Ned Van Go as if their CD is something of vital importance (I can’t help it, it just is). As long as I have her to guide me through my musical choices, I should do just fine….

I kinda feel the same way about chick singers.

Hahahaha, I think you just wrote this about my wife and I. She could care less about the twang.
My wife often offers such riveting as reviews as well.
Yeah, when it comes to listening to “how her day went” she is ready to give an entire dissertation, when it comes to discussing why Bob Dylan needed record Blonde on Blonde in Nashville, she gets a case of laryngitis all of a sudden.
