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?

I get similar things with mixtapes and CDs I've made for friends. I'll stick 20 of my favourite songs ever on there or something, make a copy for myself, and then on listening to it suddenly everything on there turns to crap.
