So at work I’ve helped this guy Mike out a few times with his iPod. Mike was always pleasant and super pleased when I helped him… he started asking me about music which is a conversation I always hate having with people, but Mike (in his 50’s and looks like a jogger) blew my fucking mind. He listens to all sorts of bizarre shit from Merzbow to Current 93 and things I can’t even explain. He brought me a DVD filled with noise/goth/ambient stuff he thought I should check out. Amazing…
