Other Ears

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Does anyone else get that thing where they play a record they like to someone, actually physically with someone there in the room, and there's a silence while it plays, maybe a look of mild scepticism on the other person's face, and during the silence you find yourself listening with their ears and suddenly everything that MIGHT be lame or weak or crappy about the music is REALLY OBVIOUS to you?

Seconded.

Although is much worse if is someone you are in the room with cus with LoP just felt a bit like had let whoever was receiving songz that week down but when they are there with you you can feel them reevaluating yourself in a similar manner to that in which you are reevaluating the song.

No! In some ways it was even worse with LoP - you don't just have the person you're playing the song to there (virtually), but also a whole room full of people (and people whose tastes you really respect at that) nodding in agreement (virtually) making you want to retract having played said song in the first place.
