Okay, someone said this to me today.  I swear I'm not making this up.

"My favorite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers.  They're an alternative
rock band.  I like to listen to alternative music, because I'm an
alternative person."

jesus christ that's nightmarish

I hope by "nightmarish" you mean "f.cking awesome". You've got to live
for moments like that. They give as deep an insight to the human
condition as the greatest literary and artistic works of man. Except, of
course, you can then laugh about them on the internet. So, arguably,
they're better.

Have you heard those Ricky Gervais podcasts?

true, unfortunately there are few positive things to balance the HOLY
sh.t moments

you don't live in america, you don't know what it's like, it's worse
than you have heard

If someone said "I like to listen to alternative music, because I'm an
alternative person" to me I'd be in hysterics. In hindsight it's pretty
terrible, but, well, I'd still laugh.

Hey, we have a NASCAR drive-around-in-circles equivalent here which
differs chiefly in that the track is made of /mud/ rather than asphalt.
Surely that entitles me to a considerable amount of guaranteed empathy?

The last free episode is here:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/rickygervais

The first 11 shouldn't be too hard to track down.

Anyway, they're brilliant — mostly unscripted interaction between
Gervais, Stephen Merchant (Gervais's co-writer on The Office) and their
former radio producer Karl Pilkington, who's an endless source of
drivel, dangerous opinion and unintentional lollery.

Not nearly as good but one of the most nightmarish music based
conversations I've had was when three of us were trying ot convinve
this fourth guy that "Smashmouth is not Metal".

This was against the same guy that claimed Metallica's cover of "Turn
the Page" was a cover of "On the Road Again" by Willie Nelson.

Step 1) go to youtube.com
Step 2) search for Behind Blue Eyes by The Who
Step 3) suffer as you see all the anime Limp Bizkit videos appear

Unfortunately, the work firewal blocks youtube.com.

I'm missing out on a lot of awesomeness I know.

"Emo? You mean Potato? That's the japanese word for potato.  Remember in
that phrasebook?  Potato means hick in japanese."

Actually, I think he's better off ignorant of emo.

Someone tells me that about once a month on average.  I'm not sure why.
