"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Every man should be erudite. List some of your favorites. I'm listing classical music but don't let that stop you from listing your favorite popular music.

A few of my favorites:
-Bach: The Art of Fugue
-Mozart: Requiem
-Brahms: Symphony No. 4
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Prokofiev's piano concertos. Here's the sexy Yuja Wang playing one of the most challenging pieces of piano music ever written. For impatient folks, the hard part starts from about 6 minutes til the end:

Then on the other side we have... The Cramps. Here's great Lux Interior (RIP) being pure DJ while his sexy wife Ivy molests the guitar:

In between is this weird ass trippy video of an old Canadian bicycle safety video to a Boards of Canada tune:
