>was your wife also a music nerd?

Not my wife anymore, but yes. At one point she was. In fact, it's the reason we came together and bonded initially. Perhaps our dissolution had something to do with her gravitating away from being passionate about it.

>did she influence your taste?
>
Absolutely. I'd never have given a lot of the music I now love a second chance were it now for her. The new PJ Harvey album for instance (which is excellent) would never have been on my radar were it not for her.

>if so, is there stuff you won't listen to now?
>
Yes, I won't have to tolerate obnoxious shit that has anything to do with the Boredoms or Foetus (i.e. Jim Thirwell, etc.).

>and speaking of podcasts, have you checked out my sig?
>
I have not. I will. Is it appropriate to play in the computer lab of a k-6 elementary school?

>(shameless, i know).
Quite.
