When I was about 19, I went back to a guys' place for...coffee...as you do. Back then, we had these things called 'record players' and 'cassette tapes' and 'records'.
So, my date went to put on a record, which I assumed was going to add atmosphere, ambience, all that good stuff.
So what issued forth from the (rather large) speakers?
Tubular Bells, by Mike Oldfield.
I dont know if you've heard it..part of it was used as background music on "The Excorcist" (sp?).
Hm. Yeah.
I didn't know whether to leave in a hurry or laugh. I mean, I like that album, but for an intimate evening? It struck me as pretty funny after awhile. Trying get all smoochie-woochie with these hound-from-hell guitar riffs was something else.
So, anyone else wanna share? Or...am I the only one who had weird dates?
I've been on like 120 dates (I mean other than relationship dates) and I'm pretty sure they've all been weird in their own ways. In many ways actually. Oh, I'm the guy by the way.
Anyway, the odd music can be an important evaluative tool. If she claims to be into indie music, does she really know what she's talking about? Let's see. Or, if she isn't, can she at least tolerate this or is she going to complain endlessly or freak out?
Of course, if you're just trying to... have some coffee... then yah, fostering a false sense of comfort and safety and mood is paramount, so you want to play something sort of bland and safe and soft.
How 'bout this one: Back in the mid-80's I had a gig at this dive called "The Back Room" in Austin. Well, during our break this freaky--but somehow oddly sexy--Goth chick bought me a drink and one thing led to another and we went home to her place together. Well, I don't remember much of what we listened to that night, but in the morning I was awakened by her sitting up in bed, handing me a bong, while a casette of a bunch of damn Monks doing "The Gregorian Chants" filled the room.
Uhhhh...it was kinda surreal.

Absolutely weirdest date ever? Seemingly nice guy, cooked a wonderful dinner for me, good conversation with some light jazz playing in the background (so far so good, appropriate for a 1st date) then he popped in a porn tape hell even monk music (and I'm still LMAO at that one) would have been better than Debbie Does Dallas. I was probably out the door in under 5 seconds.
