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?

Actually, you are misinterpreting the silence - other person is speechless with joy - and the look on the face (not skepticism but, "If I buy this album for Uncle Jethro's birthday, will I have enough money left in my account to keep my rent check from bouncing?"). So it is your own mind at working, discovering flaws that no one else has yet to perceive!
