Musical Surprises

The point was for me to get a better idea of what she was interested in aside from Porcupine Tree so I could recommend some stuff to her. We started out with some OSI since I knew she liked that from a sample I sent over, then moved into Chroma Key and back over into Fates Warning. Then a little Transatlantic.

At that point there was really nothing she said she didn't like, so…with great hesitation I pulled out the Dream Theater.

And she actually liked it, which blew me away. I was thinking it was going to be a little too "out there" for her or that she wouldn't like LaBrie's vocals, but she seemed to really enjoy it. I say "seemed" because I don't think it's sunk in.

Although, she did immediately ask about going to one of their shows…which we are. I've got tickets now to the show at SUNY Buffalo on August 20th. Her first concert, my 4th time seeing Dream Theater. Row S, middle of the theater. They're out in support of their new album coming in 2 weeks, Systematic Chaos, which is why it's picture is gracing the top of this blog entry.

I didn't really expect her to like everything I threw at her, but…I guess my musical tastes aren't so weird after all. Or something.

Anyway, I believe she's dragging me CD shopping on monday I'm evil.
