Your Day

**Exo** · 02-20-2017, 11:25 AM

Last night some awful dumpster of a women came up to me and demanded that I stop playing Elwan, the new album from Tinariwen. I told her no and she just repeated "Stop. Playing. This. Awful. Music." which made me ask her why it was awful. She asked me why we would even think of playing this kind of music and that she doesn't want to hear it. Obviously she was trying to get her point across without outright saying it's because it sounded middle eastern. I told her the band was from North Africa, that they're Taureg people, not from the Middle East, that the album just so happened to be in Barnes and Noble's in store play list, and that I won't be turning it off. She told me she won't shop at BN anymore because we're obviously a bunch of biased left wing *******s. Her words. I told her to have a nice day.

So...

I have two straight shifts in the music department next week and I'm going to play non-stop Tinariwen and other similar sounding albums. Anybody have suggestions? I have a lot of things in mind but I'd like to hear from you guys too.

I was considering it if she stayed longer. Best part of it is that all my managers are backing me on it.

Western music is all about 12 notes. Carnatic music is all about the hundreds of notes in between those 12.

I was under the impression that balls needed some actual mileage on them before they smell of burning rubber...

She sounds like a real fighter.

I think I'm going to go with it for a few more days just to see where it ends up.

That's rancid mate. Can't you lie on the floor and get hosed down or something?

I remember when I had surgery on my ears and needed a bandage on my head for two weeks, wasn't allowed to remove it so couldn't wash my hair.

The feeling when I washed it for the first time was unreal. It was like when you have a nice shower and put on new underwear x 50.
