True Love Is...

Sometimes we all worry that we'll never find true love. True love is a special thing, it's about finding someone that is your best friend who you also want to have sex with all the time, it's about being comfortable with someone who knows you better than you know yourself, and it's about liking someone enough to not want to make out with cute boys you meet in bands. It's hard to find true love, and it's even harder for people who are really fucking cool. When you are just cooler than everyone it seems almost impossible to find someone who is almost as cool as you are... let alone someone who has music taste as good as yours! It's really hard to be me sometimes guys.

I think the perfect person to date would be someone that likes the same obscure bands you do. It's really hard to respect someone who can't name at least four bands currently on HoZac, and you definitely don't want to associate with someone who thinks it's okay to list Grizzly Bear as one of their top 5 recording artists. It is important to date someone you can love as much as you love your record collection.

This couple is the ultimate ideal. They love the same music enough to lounge around sharing a pair of earbuds, and they will probably fall in love soon. The couple that ipods 2gether stays 2gether. It is as simple as that. You can't date someone too stoopid to know what kind of music is "hot" and what kind of music is "not"... Tullycraft really had it right...

Tullycraft -- Pop Songs Your New Boyfriend Is Too Stupid To Know About


Well I got some good news today while g-chatting with my friend Jacob... there is now a new dating site that matches you with people exclusively based on your taste in music (via your Last.fm profile...)!!!! It's called TasteBuds and it might be our one real path to finding that person who is cool/smart enough to settle down with.

Will true love ever happen 2 me? I mean, we can all make out to The Postal Service and The Shins, but we won't marry it! Will I ever be lucky enough to find a guy who has a Black Flag shirt but not a Black Flag tattoo? Will I find the one who owns some Killed By Death comps on vinyl but still wants to hold my hand at a Belle and Sebastian Show? Where is the man who is friends with at least one person from an indie rock band in Columbus, Ohio? I'm not asking for much, just a pop prince to take me away...

Maybe TasteBuds.fm will help me, maybe there is a guy out there, an indie with a beard, just waiting to say "Hey PJ, wanna share my earbuds? We can listen to The Pastels and The Misfits"


Maybe, one day...
