Question for youse

Do you have musical tastes that your closest friends might not suspect? I suspect I do.

No, they all know that I like country music. And sometimes Rammstein.

Possibly. I don't know that anyone has twigged my fondness for mariachi bands and or accordions, especially when in the soundtracks of French films.

I used to pass not one, but TWO llama farms on my way to work ... but no pythons!

No one on Earth (I suspect) suspects that today I listend to:

Palestrina
Perotin
Sons of the Pioneers
Slayer
Elliott Smith
Herb Alpert
Sigur Ros
Sesame Street Songs
Gillian Welch
and The Zombies

in the course of an hour.

I'm not surprised by extreme eclecticism in your case. I guess the fine details might hide a few surprises (muppet songs!) but not the range. No Balinese monkey chant?

Which parts do you think that they don't suspect?

I think most of my friends have a vague idea that I like both opera and popular music, but I don't think anyone shares all of my likings.

Alice Cooper, and the Sisters of Mercy.

And I quite like Country & Western.
