Question - is it all British girl bands you hate, or do you have a particular vendetta against All Saints?
What about Little Mix? Sugababes? Atomic Kitten?
You must have a soft spot for the Spice Girls, at least—those ladies are national treasures!

Great. I now have a headache from simply reading the names of those “bands”
“National treasures” might be overstating it a bit, don’t you think? If there was one good thing to come out of attending an all boys private school (and trust me, there weren’t many positives) it’s that I managed to avoid the brunt of ‘Spice Mania’

And here I thought you were all about “girl power” ??
Okay let me try to guess your music taste…I’m thinking maybe club stuff? If the Spice Girls were popular while you were at school then you must be in your thirties, right? So, I’m thinking some of your favourite artists are Daft Punk, Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta etc
How’d I do?

Nice sleuthing Sherlock but sooo off the mark. I’m really not a fan of the club scene. I used to go purely for cruising purposes, but luckily we have those magical things called hook-up apps now ??

Hmm…that probably rules out my next guess, which was hip hop.
I give up. What music do you like?

Rock & Roll baby! I prefer more modern post-punk/garage revival sort of stuff but definitely have a soft spot for some of the classics as well.
What about you?

Don’t be ridiculous. No one likes everything.

?????♂? I do.
I don’t mean I like every single song I hear. Just that there are artists and songs that I love from pretty much every genre of music.
What I listen to just depends on my mood.

You only kept 20% of my list? That’s harsh!
Those are all great songs, though. I actually have seven of them further down on that same playlist—I wasn’t about to type out all ninety-seven songs just to prove how diverse my tastes are ??

Subject: Re: Music
97 songs? Shit how long are your workouts??
And what do you mean only seven of them were already on there - which one was missing?
From: [email protected]
Subject: Re: Music
?? I don’t listen to the entire playlist every day, obviously. But because it’s so long it’s always getting mixed around and giving me something different. Who wants to listen to the exact same thing every day?
And the missing song was You Really Got Me. I have Lola instead—better BPM and it’s my goddaughter’s name ??

Your goddaughter was named after a drag queen from a 1970 rock song? That is epic.
