If you had to pick one, what would be your very favorite song?

that's a tough one!
i don't think i could narrow it down to just one

what's yours?

[killertrack]

it is hard, I'm thinking maybe I should have asked for a top five

Mine? I guess it depends. If I went for a top 5:
Sittin' on the dock of the bay by Otis Redding
Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson
Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin
Stronger by Kanye West
Under Pressure by David Bowie and Queen

[advena]

i don't think i've heard most of those
i do know the queen song though!

( music isn't kara's forte. she's more team netflix than team spotify. )

my sister really liked punk rock for a while
it was a weird phase

[killertrack]

[ Gasp, shock, horror. How do you not know Led Zeppelin or Michael Jackson. This is the kind of thing Baby can't conceive, but then again, she's probably a lot more knowledgeable in some other area that Baby isn't, at all. ]

Well, if you ever feel like discovering new music or classics, B-sides is the place for you!

What kind of music do you like? In a general sense.

[advena]

that sounds great
i've never been to a music store before, though... do you offer recommendations?

i don't think i have favorites
i listened to the radio when i was younger
in the car, mostly
but i don't really drive around anymore

( it's way faster just to fly. )

[killertrack]

you've never been to a music store? how did you listen to music when you were younger? just on the radio?

[ That seems like absolute Hell to Baby. ]

I just... [ He doesn't understand. ] surely you remember songs or types of songs you enjoyed more than others? Pop, or rap, or techno, or rock?

[advena]

is that weird?

( the danvers weren't really music people. alex's punk rock phase was very much an out of the house sort of thing — driving her out of midvale into the city for grungy concerts in dingy social halls — and it had left kara mostly in the dust.

plus, when you can hear a heartbeat from across a football field, music doesn't often drown things out. maybe if someone had introduced her to noise-cancelling headphones... )

i don't think i've ever heard techno music before
but we usually listened to the same station, they played lots of popular music

did you ever listen to the top 40 with casey kasem?

( don't laugh, but she still remembers the jingle. that was her introduction to teen culture at 13 for an entire summer, just listening to popular music with alex and being taught what was popular and what was "uncool" at the time. the summer of 2003 was a weird time. )

[killertrack]

To me, I guess, a little - music is everything to me, it's hard to think that some people don't listen to it much. I'm always listening to something.

You should come to the store, I'll introduce you to some stuff.

And no, I haven't. Was he on in Atlanta? I've never been much of a radio guy, it's too unpredictable and the ads don't help me. Music helps me drown out the buzz in my ears, and it gives me a rhythm. Too many ad breaks would keep me at a standstill.

[advena]

i'll definitely come by :)

when would be a good time for you?
i can come during my lunch break, or after work if you're there in the evening instead

wait, are dogs allowed in a music store?
he's a little excitable but i could always hold him if i had to
or i could drop him off at home if that's better

[killertrack]

i take my dog to the store with me, but he's old and ornery, and he mostly sleeps
if you don't think he'll knock stands over he's more than welcome

any time is fine, we're open 10 - 5 every day.
