SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHO COLDPLAY IS.
Yes, you heard me right. I immediately offered to enroll her in the Dijea School of Music. I am known for coming up with obscure band that are then mainstream 6 months later. I La-la-love music and seriously need to burn her some CD's or something, but then I stop and I wonder if I actually did that would she listen? If she doesn't know who Coldplay is will she know other bands like Band of Horses or Keane, should I even try to introduce her to Chevelle or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Maybe a little Ting Tings.
In her defense, she listens to NPR, but so does my mother and why anyone would want to learn things or stay updated in this incredibly depressing time is beyond me, but then I'm shallow and have no drive so I guess that is my answer.
What if she's never heard Radiohead or The Foo Fighters? OMG, Where are my smelling salts?

wow, yr friend needs to get out more : )
I surprised she's hip to facebook. Cold Play/Chris Martin was on 60 Minutes, isn't that a similar demographic?
Hah - I know exactly who you are talking about because I saw her FB status too! Maybe you could try a little cd to ease her into things. I blame it on KERA going all news a few years back. Can she listen online at work? Clue her in to a good station if so. My NPR station WFUV out of Fordham Univ plays AWESOME music, and they stream online.
I love Ting Tings! "That's not my name...that's not my name..." Now I'm off chanting that song.
What's a foo fighter??
JUST KIDDING! I just found your blog and had to read it because of your subtitle. I too need therapy, but I'm too lazy to make an appointment.
