Music Taste --> Judging

Had to re-post this awesome article I read today, analyzing personalities with music taste. My personal attributes are highlighted in pink. :) Check it out.



Bruce Springsteen: You’re a monster in the sack.
Rod Stewart: You’re gross.
David Bowie: You’re selective, but slutty.
Kanye West: You’re kinda mean. In a hot way.
Jay Z: You don’t take any shit. Or at least you know that you’re not supposed to.
Beastie Boys: You believe that loyalty is rewarded.
The Arcade Fire: You spend the first third of relationship in a romantic frenzy and the last two trying to justify it.
The Ramones: Unless you’re over 40, you’re trying to be cool.
Rush: You’re a man. And a nerdy one at that.
Led Zeppelin: If you’re a woman, you’re hot. If you’re a guy, you’re average.
AC/DC: If you’re a woman, you’re the kind of person who lets a guy move in with you after three dates because he’s temporarily homeless. If you’re a guy, you’re temporarily homeless.
My Chemical Romance: You’re not so much looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend as someone to share a "fuckyeahsuperheroeskissing" Tumblr with.
The Pixies: Relax. You're cool.
Talking Heads: You’re a good person.
Stevie Wonder: You’re husband/wife material.
Hall and Oates: You’re not the type to let your wistful nature ruin your good time.
LCD Soundsystem: You're not the type to let your strong sense of irony ruin your good time.
Insane Clown Posse: You're not the type to let common decency ruin your good time.
Judas Priest: At some point in your life, you've sniffed a little glue.
Belle and Sebastian: If you hook up, it’s gonna get weird.
The Shins: You either really liked "Garden State," or have a giant chip on your shoulder about how people only like The Shins because of "Garden State."
R.E.M.: You've got a big heart.
Tori Amos: You cry during sex and get real quiet after.
That One Peter, Bjorn and John song with the whistling: You’re a human being.
The Mountain Goats: You're very serious about your feelings.
Van Morrison: You’re a romantic. Possibly with a slight drinking problem.
No Doubt: If you’re a girl, you’re a confident person, but you know what it’s like to get treated like crap. If you’re guy, you’re just trying to get laid.
Nirvana: You're angry and hurt.
Radiohead: You're angry and hurt. But you're open to getting some professional help.
Bebel Gilberto: You’re going to flutter little kisses all over every inch of your date’s body and soon as you get the chance. Also: You’re a foodie.
T-Rex: You're an asshole.
Bob Dylan: You’re an asshole, but you don’t know it.
The Strokes: You're not really an asshole, you just act like it sometimes.
The White Stripes: You're kind of kinky.
Lil' Kim: You're really kinky.
Peaches: If you're not getting a handjob under the table right now, it's because you're giving one.
Ani Difranco: You’re a good communicator. Maybe too good.
John Mayer: You’re a virgin.
Nickelback: You have low self-esteem and bad tattoos. But, god bless you.
The Clash: You’re willing to work for it, but you’re kind of pissed that you have to.
The Cure: You fall in love WAY too easily.
Best Coast: You fall in love way too easily, but only for, like, a week.
The Rolling Stones: You’re hot.
Rihanna: You’re hot.
Beyonce: You’re sweet, but not a pushover.
Britney Spears: If you’re a gay guy or a woman, you’re normal. If you’re a straight guy, you’re trying to get laid.
Mandy Moore: You have American Girl dolls. Plural.
Guns N Roses: You’re going to have to sex in the bathroom and regret it.
Joan Jett: You’re going to have sex in the bathroom and not regret it.
Fleetwood Mac: You're reasonably well adjusted. Considering.

Nicki Minaj: You’re awesome. And kind of crazy.
Lil’ Wayne: You’re crazy. And kind of awesome.
Regina Spektor: You might be a perfectly nice person, but you’re kind of annoying.
Panda Blood: You made that up to see if your date would pretend to have heard of them.
Kid Cudi: No one understands you. But it’s not that big a deal.
John Legend: You have emotional sex.
Eminem: You have emotional problems.
Drake: You're about whatever.
Vampire Weekend: You're about being about whatever.
Gogol Bordello: You sweat a lot and you have a nice smile.
Tool: You're either really smart or really dumb.
Peter Gabriel: Every relationship is a coming-of-age epic of which you are the star.
Leonard Cohen: You’re the kind of person that people get obsessed with for years. Too bad you’re too depressed to appreciate it.
TV on the Radio: You care. Deeply. Even if you act like you don’t.
The Smiths: It’s doomed every time, but it always takes a beautiful, long while to figure that out.
Depeche Mode: You’re screwed up, but you know it, which actually does help.
Cut Copy: You make out in public a lot.
Joni Mitchell: You make breakfast in the morning.
Wilco: You’ll make an excellent life-partner.
The Beatles: Eh. Who knows.

I have to say I strongly agree with these conclusions. Especially Nickelback. Ugh, haha.

Comparisons

Now that I've been an SF resident for over a month, I've definitely accumulated a multitude of musings; ideas that cross my mind on a daily basis and make me stop and think. Lots of these thoughts, naturally, have been ones of comparison: my new home versus my old home.

In San Francisco...

• ...I shop at Safeway or small farmer's markets, not at Kroger or HEB. (Also, Walgreens instead of CVS.)
• ...Summer nights require a sweater.
• ...Mexican food is actually DELICIOUS! I'm not missing TexMex quite yet. I love living in the Mission.
• ...actually, ALL food is delicious. There hasn't been a restaurant I've been to that has even had "Average" food. Easily "Above Average" or "Excellent", always.
• ...thrift stores appear at every block. (There's even a Buffalo Exchange near my apartment!)
• ...it's true, people aren't as nice as those in the South. Walking through a crowded Safeway, sidewalk, or pathway, you won't hear many "excuse me's", let alone see many smiles.
• ...the sports teams > Houston sports teams. (Doesn't mean I like them more; just saying.)
• ...superb music taste (aka, my music taste) isn't uncommon in random people you meet.  People know what's up.
• ...I feel like there are music festivals monthly. ACL will always have my heart, but man, I'm really looking forward to all of these SF fests.
• ...nobody says "y'all". I kind of knew this coming in, however, I was pleased to know that nobody gives you a weird look if you DO choose to say it. They just personally don't say it themselves.
• ...fashion styles usually consist of darker, more demure colors and patterns. My wardrobe definitely stands out at times.
• ...Asians are the Mexicans of Texas.
• ...everything is organic. You don't even need to ask. Actually, if you DO ask, people may look at you weird as to why you were even questioning it.
• ...the hills are always MUCH steeper than you presume them to be.
• ...the fog > the smog of Houston.
• ...my hair doesn't frizz. It's pretty fantastic!
• ...I don't sweat the moment I leave my apartment. In fact, I don't even have a/c, and our electricity bill is about $10/person each month. Yeahhh budddyyy!
• ...so many people have dogs! Super random breeds, too. Dogs are also welcome pretty much everywhere (even at work!!)
• ...rent is double, if not triple the rent of Austin and Houston.
• ...taxes suck.
• ...local wines and beers are pretty amazing, and surprisingly cheap!
• ...Sierra Nevada is the Shiner of Texas.  However, it always brightens my day (or, night...) when I see some Shiner at a bar! :)
• ...the tech industry = oil & gas industry in Houston.
• ...the age distribution seems to be older than Austin (thanks to UT's population), but younger than Houston. Not many married folk in the city.
• ...the tolerance for marijuana is equivalent to Austin City Limits Festival...but every day.

Overall, the I'm very satisfied with how life is here in SF. While I do miss home (Houston, for the family, and Austin, for the friends and atmosphere), I don't think I could have chosen a better place to start my new chapter.

(...the perfect place to continue the hipster evolution. I can't wait until I'm back home and demanding organic foods, wearing second-hand clothes, complaining of the heat, and thinking the ground is too flat. Man, I miss those shin splints!)
