Though originally I completely took to anyone who claimed to share my taste in music, I've become much more cautious about it in the last two years. A surprising number of girls have told me they loved Radiohead and later were scarcely familiar with High and Dry.
It's not that I'm a music sob; I'd like to think those days are behind me. My knowledge is way out of date anyway. It's that I don't want to make a connection with someone I have a false idea of, talking about something they don't get.
Now whenever someone makes the claim I sigh with a mix of past disappointment and waning hope, and launch into a subtle quiz, a conversational dance, searching to see if this one is telling the truth.
Update; Found a fan. Way random.
