Dance Music for Old People
The movie High Fidelity reminds me a lot of my own life. In the movie Rob, Dick and Barry work in a record store called 'Championship Vinyl' that Rob owns. During the work day the three talk together and with the quirky customers about all things music and some things film. They swap mix tapes,stories of great finds,opinions and all the tidbits of information that VH1 missed. Their is one scene where Dick and Barry argue over if the title of an album begins with 'the' or 'a'. In this way, the discussion sometimes gets trivial but a great deal of it is more than that. It's three guys who share a common bond in their passion for music. The relationship of these three reminds me of my friendship with Justin and Jeff, not in what we know but in how we are.
In times past,usually while watching the movie,we three try to figure out which of the characters we are most like. There are the obvious comparisons,but getting past that I think we all see ourselves as Rob because his character has greater depth. We see more of the whole person, and we like to think of ourselves as whole people. In the movie the three are always making up top 5 lists. In that tradition we want to start featuring our personal top fives here. Give us any ideas you've got on what lists we should make.
As for now, let's start with something simple: Top 5 Favorite Albums. Jeff and Justin are you ready for the challenge? Readers prepare your own list and watch out. I'll post my answer to this later. G'night.
