Once In a Lifetime:
This one can be summed up essentially in one sentence: Evan did not enjoy me playing Talking Heads.
Evan was my freshman year roommate. All in all a very quality roommate, outside a propensity to go to bed at 11pm every night. Evan listened to music occasionally, I listened to music obsessively. Most of the times I would turn it down lower, or he would use his headphones to block me. Freshman year was dominated by two bands: Talking heads and The Kinks. Evan liked the Kinks. He did not like the Talking Heads.
And he often would tell me so.
I was way too into them to stop playing, especially this album and this song, one of their most well known. For a few months, the poor fellow had to listen to the Heads on a daily basis. Occasionally I would play it just to annoy him. But that's because He was working on a project using The Beatles "Paperback Writer", it was driving me nuts.
It turns out, that project ruined that song for both of us. But Evan still gives me crap for Talking Heads.
