Dear all,


couldn't resist on that sunday afternoon, while i am working( life isn't 
fair) to reply to Weejay and ask you a little something :

don't worry you're not the only one : join the club!!!!
just wanted to ask you guys if you have any idea of what it means to 
have breakfast every mornings with either Celine Dion or Bryan Adams? i 
do like a lot my flatmates,but not their music... hard to support 
sometimes believe me. (i guess that's the reason why i'm never late to 
come in at work....but that also explains why the first thing i do when 
i arrive is a 10 minutes break, listening to B&S or some other cool 
bands, coz their music completely stressed me out and put me in a bad 
bad mood, )

so i do understand what you have been written.
 this is my theory: nobody knows what the 'good taste' in music is, we 
can all have a different definition of it; even among us, i'm sure some 
of us like some musics that the others don"t. BUT what DOES exist is a 
universal definition of what the 'bad taste' in music (moovies...) is.
isn't that true ?

so, please, does anyone of you know a way to influence the real 'bad 
taste' of my flatmates to change it into something less worse...i won't 
pretend to influence them to the point that they'll love 'my' music. 
Let's say that first, i don't wanna hear this ironic tone in their voice 
when i am the one who is choosing the music saying 'what is this kind of 
music again?' anymore; and second, i am ready to hear a music i don't 
really like as long as it doesn't make me mad.

hope you'll all have a better and sunnier sunday than mine!!!

cheers,
gwenn
