Sharing your music with the office

One girl I work with shares her music which is fine by me, breaks the silence.
Everyone's been asking me to bring in some music.
I have always been shy sharing my music, I find it to be personal for me, it's my own thing.
Anyone else feel the same or am I just rat fuck?

    I was going to try and bag you out saying you prob like backstreet boys etc... then I realised we were on the PJ forum...

    Music can be personal, but go and rock the fuck out of your office... show those ratfucks you got some good taste.... :D

    I'm kind of the same way. I guess I just don't want to have to listen to criticism from people who listen to Katy Perry.

    We used to have a departmental (emphasis on "mental") radio going. The reception eventually got so bad we opted to play CDs. No one else was willing to get one from their car, and I happen to have one at my desk (for early mornings, before everyone else gets in).

    So, we listened to QOTSA's "Lullabies to Paralyze."

    One person said they liked it. No one else had an opinion, even when pressed.

    I would be very reluctant to put something on that I am an avid fan of (PJ included), as I have quite a temper. One ignorant comment is likely to send me into a frenzy of verbal evisceration.

    I usually play Rhapsody or the PJ station in my office. A few weeks ago I was on a metal kick and had some Pantera rocking...so my boss comes in my office to talk about something..stopped, then looked at me and asked why I was so angry :lol:

    I feel you though, it is kind of personal to share your music like that. I always feel like I'm being judged when I get to decide what's playing. I usually am too, I don't know anyone that has the same taste in music I do. Of course you could look at it like you are expanding their horizons, but most people aren't very open to getting into new music.

    No music around my office. But thankfully I can listen to whatever I want on my ipod all day.

    I plug my desk speakers into my iPod and keep it at a cubical level. But my taste in music is superb so they can all suck it. 8-)

    guess you can't argue with somebody that has their own radio show.



    just out of curiousity, not trying to "bag" on your as the kids say....do you get rating numbers and if so, are you pleased with yours.

    We're currently developing a rating card.

    Truthfully, I don't care too much what they are. Obviously, I'd like to have more listeners... but overall, I just enjoy playing the music I want to on a free media radio station. I know I have loyal listeners on and off this board. For those of you on, you know who you are and you know you're all bad asses.

    I only share an office with my boss who is older but has a pretty rockin taste in music too. We usually just listen to The Rock radio station but we have a turntable and CD player so every now and then he will crank some Rolling Stones, Springsteen or The Beatles, he keeps his vinyl collection in the office. I occasionally play EV and PJ but I like to keep that to myself really. I do get the office to myself a lot so when its just me I crank it.
    all you need is love, love is all you need

    That was like me and my former boss at my former employer.
    Same taste in music as me, part of the reason we got along great!
