While I'm at it, is it a universal law that when you overhear someone else's music it's shit?
Someone's playing music off their phone on the bus, it's never anything good is it? Be it Sinatra or Metal Machine Music you're into
Same with when you hear it in passing cars, they have the windows down and they're blaring shite
I don't particularly like Mozart - he's obviously good, just doesn't turn me on - but no Mozart fans ever do this
I might get a motor again just so I can be the first bloke to blast Godspeed You! Black Emperor when driving around. Some wanker pulls up next to you, windows down, he's got shades on, car is filthy, all you can hear is violins soaring and drums pattering in militaristic fashion with double bass

You ever asked someone to turn the music down on a bus? I am not really bothered by it, usually have headphones on. Just makes me wonder why I'm happy to confine it to headphones though. Never heard of someone asking someone to stop - doesn't sound very British does it?
How come I don't want to make the rest of the bus listen to the La's? I've started a youtube channel for this purpose, I'm not shy about it, but why don't I have the bus gene? Come summer I will again reel out the guitar to offend with my renditions of the entire album. Why not on public transport, when other patrons have no issue doing so? Is my mission not as important as theirs?
They clearly have devout faith that one and all are most entertained by their choice in tuneage, just happy to soak in it through their pores
How come their music is always shit - like, I've never, ever heard bus music be a wicked Aphex Twin clicky zappy remix, or Gaslamp Killer or something, it's always generic shouty shite, like Mumblerap, a genre created exclusively for playing on a lower-tier Samsung on the 82
I think if I ever pull someone up on their bus music, I'll shout requests - best way to stop something is to make it embarassing
"Play the national anthem, mate!"
Maybe start singing it while making eye contact
.... but what if they do play it? What if they sing it too?
I only know the first two lines
