    Almost sounds like it belongs on a Hallmark card, but I can dig it. It’s like that bumper sticker “your vibe attracts your tribe.” It’s cliche but some cliches are popular because there’s some truth there.

    I’ve found that, to most of my peers, I’m definitely the weird one. I often let others pick the music because, while most of my coworkers tend to play stuff I find agreeable, the stuff I listen to is too eccentric, weird, and downright alien to them. So we listen to hip-hop, country, R&B, or pop music at work. And I listen to Japanese rock in my car on the way home. So is the real me an eccentric, or someone who’s accommodating of others? I don’t think there’s an easy answer. At least not one that fits on a greeting card.

      A man speaks to his wife as a husband, his child as a father, his employee as a boss and a drinking buddy as a friend. None of these are the entirety of the man, nor are they false personas. They are many sides of the same man.

      Are you eccentric or accommodating? From the sounds of it, I think you’re both.

      No clue, but Tricot and Man With A Misson are perfectly good rock out tunes.

          In that case check out Tokyo Jihen too. Shiina Ringo’s great, but I particularly like her rock music with Jihen.

          If you have any recommendations let me know. Always on the lookout for good music.
