She doesn't like any electronic music

Dear Dubstep Forum,

A girl just moved into my house, I went to the pub with her and she said this gem "all electronic music is awful" I said in response something like, I think there is good in all genres a music, you just have to look for the good stuff, to which she coldly replied, "well I haven't heard any good dance music yet."

Shes from Slovenia and loves to sing Slovenian Jazz music, and I have to say she has an amazingly beautiful voice. She makes me great Turkish coffee in the morning and cleaned the whole of the kitchen even the insides of other peoples cupboards, which is way beyond the call of duty, and she made everyone pasta for lunch, in all other respects she's pretty perfect.

Unfortunatly her room is directly under mine, and some days I just can't have a mix as she seems to be in the house all of the same times that I am there. I'm sure that I could hear her tutting through the floor when I was listening to the samples of the new releases from the Juno website. And I overheard her saying to my other house mate that she just can't work (shes a post grad student) when she can hear music, that she actually puts her fingers in her ears so she can get some silence to think! So far I've been playing just nice stuff that she would like, like mingus, and I played her some Albert King (born under a bad sign) which she loved. I can't carry on like this though, just jazzy music, what kind of life is that?

talk to her & come to some sort of compromise

explain to her it really is just her opinion..don't try to convert her....if she refuses to compromise at all then play it regardless...

i remember meeting a girl who didn't like electronic music, just stupid pop music or r&b. so i made her listen to Coki - Spongebob. she said it's the ugliest song she's ever heard hahah.

nah man, bottom line is.. if she doesn't like it, then she doesn't like it. although you COULD use her passion for jazz as leverage. say play her some electrojazz, trip-hop, you know the baby steps. then you'd get her to things like ltj bukem or "it's a jazz thing" by roni size and so on until she'll be a gabbahead.

That gif is funny Ash.

I think you should either give in and sort out times to both do your thing or kick her in the tnuc I suppose !

Jazz is good though.

I don't know I never really liked that whole half drum and bass half jazz thing, it always makes me think of London Electricity mincing on about gravy, I'd rather she liked proper stuff or nothing at all.

Spiking her with pills would definatly work but I don't want to get arrested or make her think I'm a rapist.

I'm not too sure about having sex with her as, well the other day she said one of her friends said she looked like a female Orlando Bloom, I told her he's a very pretty man and that a lot of girls would give their right arm to look like Orlando Bloom, that it would probably improve most girls. She is perfectly good looking but I don't know.

doesn't matter, throwing a house party on Saturday so that'll sort it, or not. maybe soon we'll be making beautiful Sloveninan jazz step together.
