Go Down

The spy who loves you

I don't listen to much Pink Floyld, but I know who he is, that's sad. :(

I assume Kaz losing this guy would be like me losing Ottis Williams. :(

When you care enough about music, you talk about it to other people. You read up on it from time to time out of curiosity. You look at the information other than the song names on the CDs.

Unless you have no natural curiosity about your music whatsoever, I don't see how you could not find out something about the people who made it.

It's not necessary to know, but it's not a bad thing. And saying that bothering to learn about what you're listening to is stupid...is, well stupid. You're pretty dumb to give people the idea that they should just listen to it and be done with it.

Believe it or not, some people actually care about what they consume.
I'm dumb? All I said was that it's not important. Do you even know what importance is? Because I don't think trivial facts constitute a part of that definition. You take so many things out of context, it's unbelievable.

Believe it or not, not everyone feels the need to be a stuck up prick to prove that they like something.

I never said it was important either. I said it wasn't necessary, but it wasn't a bad thing, so discouraging it is even more pointless.

The only thing I took out of context was your connotation of "hey kids just listen to the music," which is fine and all, but discouraging getting more in-depth is not fine.

And nobody is being a stuck-up prick, but okay. If you'd like to show me otherwise, then go ahead.

Let's see, I think a prick would insult someone for no reason in an attempt to enhance their point.

Well, it turns out that I read something you said incorrectly. Or maybe I read it correctly at first and forgot what it said along the way.

You said that "memorizing the names" (which i'm using as an example of knowing more about your music) is "unimportant." For some reason or another I had thought you said it's "stupid." So that's misunderstanding on my part. Oh well.

And to further my problems, "you're pretty dumb" is a typo. Supposed to be "you'd be pretty dumb," as in..."you'd be pretty dumb to give people the idea they should just listen to music and be done with it."

I never really meant to come off as a "prick."

Nice save.

I don't see how that is an attempt at a save.

"You're pretty dumb to..." doesn't even make grammatical sense.

Still, " 're" instead of " 'd be" is not a typo.

Not a typo in the sense I just accidentally hit the wrong keys, just that I accidentally used an entirely incorrect phrase in the midst of trying to figure out how to put what I was thinking.

Needless to say thare are times when everyone accidentally says something they didn't mean. Apparently I just did it again in choosing to call it a "typo."

Yep... I've actually been hearing a lot of people use typo outside its definition lately, so it's not surprising. I guess it's picking up somewhat of a slang definition as well

"You are pretty dumb to.." makes sense. It just has a different connotation from "you'd be pretty dumb to..".
