I try desperately not to be a music snob. I know a lot, I like a lot, and I can find a positive for just about every song.

I do, however, have two major pet peeves when it comes to music snobbery:

1. People who say, "No one listens to the same music I do." If no one else listened to it, they wouldn't be making it. And unless you're creating your own Yoko-style howlings/found object instrumentals and recording them, someone else is making it.

2. People who harass me about what I'm listening to or am in love with at the moment and then pop up with it in their myspace profile eons later. Well, that isn't specific to myspace profile music, but they try to introduce me to my favorite song from 3 months ago. Now I know how my dad felt when I got into Aerosmith like 8 years ago.

By the by, if you have never listened to the Talking Heads, "Road to Nowhere," you ought to. And if you've loved it forever, I'm not trying to tell you I discovered it.
