At heyrocker's recommendation, but against my better judgment, I've signed up to last.fm. I say "against my better judgment" because, if you didn't know, last.fm is a site/tool that uploads the titles of the songs you're listening to on your computer for the whole world to see, and the stuff I listen to makes Martin (who can see my music via iChat) blanch. Ah well. If you're interested, look me up: I go by the handle UrbanShockah.
Where we saw it: music | We deign to rate it: everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound outta 100I don't blanch, I wince. It's only your street cred I'm worried about, but then, I suppose in today's day and age there is nothing more punk rawk than listening to Ratt, Quiet Riot and, if I remember correctly, Quarterflash back-to-back.
Music, however, is a personal beast, and we all must feed it in the way that we deem necessary. I promise the mocking will henceforth stop, lest you think it becomes an opinion of you, my friend, instead of your "taste".
Unless, that is, you listen to something that really surprises me. Take that as a dare or not. Your choice.

Posted by: Kza at March 13, 2006 10:53 AMA guy with two hip-hop names should be DECLARING his cred, not questioning it.
Posted by: Martin at March 13, 2006 12:24 PMI think I declare my cred by insisting I have none. It's post-post-post... something.
Posted by: Kza at March 13, 2006 12:28 PMIt's already working. The street has been murmuring all morning about the dude who, not unlike a super-hero, has a shield of coolness so strong that even barbs about Quaterflash can't penetrate it...
I stand rebuffed.
