You Hear I Tell !

You can tell a lot about the music the person is listening through headphones, even though you are not listening to it..

1. If the person is moving the head sideways, back and forth, (s)he is probably listening to some Indian Classical or something based on Rags...

2. If the head is moving up and down, slowly, then its probably some pop rock or a light peppy number

3. If the head moves up and down, faster, and the hands/fingers move as if the person is playing a guitar or drums, then its probably some rock rock... a bit harder than soft and softer than hard !

4. If the person's body is moving and the legs are tapping the floor, its probably a dance number...

5. If the person is doing something other than listening to music, it is probably just a random selection of music and a ligh volume

What else?

I am really missing the green room below the stage in my collage today! For some reason I am thinking of all the wonderful hours I have spent there !!!

  1. In some cases u don't even hav to look at the person to know what music he/she is listening to. The volume is so high that u can easily know what is playing.

    Also sometimes it so happens that the person is so engrossed in listening to his fav song that he forgets he is in public. he starts singing at the top pitch until some good samaritan comes to help- I mean the public.

  2. Good observations. You can certainly tell a lot about the music (at least the tempo) by the tapping, either by hand or legs.

    Also the facial expression tells a lot. Add eyes closed, pained facial expression with #3, and you get hard rock.
