my ass hurts, but it's worth it

Got to UC Davis's ticket site at 10:00 sharp to buy two Pixies tickets. No dice. I hit reload once... nothing. Twice... boom! I bought two tickets for $25 each, plus $15.75 (!) in fees. Only two months to go!

For reference, my wife has a peculiar birth defect, in that she's missing 95% of what normal people refer to as the Crap Filter.

I can play all sorts of cool and oddball music at her -- Frank Zappa, Robert Johnson, Wesley Willis, XTC, Bela Fleck, the Dead Kennedys, King Missile, the Specials -- and she'll enjoy it. She likes the Ramones. She likes James Brown. She likes NOFX. She likes the White Stripes. She likes just about everything in my collection, from Crack the Sky to the Humpty Dance.

And then she'll put in one of her mix CDs and I'll hear artists that make me want to ignore all of the warnings on Q-Tip boxes.

Same deal with movies. She can follow Duck Soup with Jeepers Creepers 2 or El Mariachi with Superstar [b]without hemorrhaging[/b].

I'm not sure whether it's a gift or a curse, really.

Well, now you have to tell me what exactly she considers unlistenable or unwatchable.

Kid Rock, Eminem and Macy Gray are the first three that come to mind.
