Because it's a High Fidelity kind of night...

The book or the film...both excellent. Here are several of my favorite quotes:

It's no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn't even speak to each other if they met at a party.

I wanna date a musician...
I wanna live with a musician...
And we could sit around and write songs all day, and maybe even include one of our little private jokes in the liner notes.
Or maybe even a picture of me somewhere in the liner notes, but just in the background somewhere.

Top five things I miss about Laura:
One - Sense of humor. Very dry, but it can also be warm and forgiving. And she's got one of the best all-time laughs in the history of all-time laughs. She laughs with her entire body.
Two - She's got character...or at least she had character before the Ian nightmare. She's loyal and honest and she doesn't even take it out on people when she's having a bad day. That's character.
Three - I miss...her smell...and the way she tastes. It's a mystery of human chemistry and I don't understand it. Some people, as far as your senses are concerned, just...feel...like home.
Four- I really dig how she walks around. It's like she doesn't care how she looks or what she projects. And it's not that she doesn't care, it's just...she's not affected I guess. And that gives her grace.
Five- She does this thing in bed when she can't get to sleep. She kind of half-moans and then rubs her feet together an equal number of times. It just...kills me.

A while back, me, Dick, and Barry agreed that what really matters is WHAT you like, not what you ARE like. Books, records, films, these things matter! Call me shallow, but it's the f-ing truth.

...And I'm tired of that. I'm tired of everything else, for that matter. But I never seem to get tired of you.

Liking both Marvin Gaye and Art Garfunkel is like supporting both the Israelies and the Palestinians.
No, it's really not, Rob. You know why? Because Marvin Gaye and Art Garfunkel make pop records.
Made! Made! Marvin Gaye was shot by his father!

What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns or watching violent videos afraid that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands, of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery, and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?
