So, I'm back from Mexico, and still on vacation from the restaurant. It's way great, since I get to spend time with my so fully dynamic and amazing wife without actually having to be in our usual roles of confrontation (restaurant people help me: front of house vs. back of house) oh, and just for the record: roles we did not originally sign on for. Well, if you know us, or have read my page (which has a full account of my acoustical adventures in Mexico for the last two weeks BTW) then you know that I am in charge of music. So now, the restaurant is closed. The Mrs. Beachy is cooking Thai..says, "put something on for me that's girly, Sheryl Crow or Shelby Lynne, before you go to the beach with the dogs." I want to play her my favorite of the year Neko Case, but the frickin computer's f*ed and the only place Neko lives (besides in my heart) is on my ipod, so I frantically seek my silver metal:Cat Power, but to no avail (ok- I'm a slob with my music if you must know) I land on Zero 7's soph disc and roll to the beach with the dogsSOOO: Come back and now its time for dinner, Thai, as I said, so I need to set up music, and fast, since I am late getting back b/c I ran into a freind and blew an extra ten minutes...I look for Ry Cooder's compendium of film music, but (see above- messy...) I can't find my Ry, so I grab Karsh Kale's Cd, one that up to tonight I have only listened to via headphones while messing with photoshop or something.WOW.Its so stunningly un-words-to-describe-it-ly- better through real speakers and in a real room.Now here's randomly, wine-twisted route round to the point of my topic and title:1. I gotta significant other who isn't all that into music, if its "weird" or "hard to listen to" it gets nixed. Anyone else in this situation?2.I often take my favs and play them at work, therefore eleminating them from "home" play. i.e. I get: " this is downstairs(work) music, it makes me stressed to think of work." So: In my shoes, Would you keep your favorites for home even if you knew you'd like (and knew you'd hear them more often) hearing them at work?I love to introduce new stuff to my guests, I encourage them to go to label sites, buy what they heard, trust the label to have more of what I have played, this is one of my favorite parts of my job. How can I begin to separate my music into "work" and "home"Am I just obsessing?
