How Do You Manage A Girlfriend And Music

Hey mushen. Is music your fulltime occupation? I imagine you do function something like a boyfriend ought and actually spend (enough) time with her? How serious are you about her. Do you live with her? If you don’t you should probably not be tracking if you cant hold a conversation with her while doing so. I’m sure she likes some music? Make her a song (that she might like); if nothing else, to affirm that your good at what you do and take it seriously. If your working on something with headphones on you can coyly hint that your working on a song for her!!! Putty! Putty in your very hands!
Girlfriend or not, it can be pretty annoying listening to someone make computer music, so be considerate.
I like and make some music my lady hates, some she likes, I hate some of the music she likes etc…
music isn’t everything, it’s just something. make something you both like

reply to the most controversial post in the thread: my fundamental disagreement here is that my music could be described as “what I’m all about”, but the reality is this. music was here before I took interest in it, and it will continue after my death. I do not believe in concrete identities at all, even my own. I don’t have a “soul” to speak of that is separate from my body. When I make music, I interact with, and become a piece of an already pre-existing abstraction. This interaction is my personal taste, and I would never “ditch” someone I love because this one particular taste is not shared.

Clearing up my personal state of affairs, my music isn’t problematic to the relationship, I’m mainly most curious to see how others manage their time. Thanks for causing some topics of controversy though; i love debates about human nature.

+1; share this thought.

didn’t mean to sound as dark as i may have read.

enter breakcore
women who like breakcore are a statistical anomaly. i’ve only known one female breakcore lover. bringing some good new-fashioned sexism into the mix, I strongly suppose this has to do with men and their superior processing of spatial relation. this is perhaps the most scientifically substantiated distinction between men and women (and by pure nature, not nurture). (keep in mind, these are statistics, not absolutes. it’s easy to imagine black and white, but what we really have is overlapping bell-curves).

The only women I’ve ever known into breakcore were so outrageous in many other ways that the breakcore was really just a sidenote. Like full on freaky.

You know, guys (and gals?), if your other half doesn’t like your music, of course it doesn’t mean they don’t love you. There could be other reasons for that cold shoulder or constant fights. On the other hand, if your partner (like my wife) likes the music you make, I can guarantee you there aren’t too many things out there that can make you feel better about yourself and your music. To the OP, I hope you eventually find a girl that LOVES your stuff, and/or you start making tunes that makes your gf go like: :yeah:

You manage by removing the disturpfactor

Not planning on ditching my gf for a ghetto-fab hip hop chick, nor aforementioned breakcore girl who may reveal a hidden penis.

hahahaha :D
good thinking man.

Freedom is an important thing in a relationship. She should give you space to perform your hobby (making music), just like you give her space as well (at least you should! :D).

Some things are a joke…
tell me that this is the result of expressing someone’s innerself:

People sometimes simply want to party.

I can’t stand gabber btw.
