... you can't wait to tell everyone you're the proud owner of Jimi Hendrix's very first air guitar you've just outbid everyone for on eBay. ...and you got the guitar case for half price, too! BONUS!

... you faithfully send Christmas/Thanksgiving/Easter/Birthday/Groundhog Day/etc... cards to Streetly Electronics every year to say thanks for the Mellotron,man...

Yes you are right. And you have time to enjoy music playing air drums, guitars and keyboards.

When you're upset that one song on the radio doesn't musically blend into the next.

Your respect for Miley Cyrus skyrockets when you hear her song "Party In The USA"  incorporates that lovely moog sound in the chorus.

You accidentally stumble on a web site analyzing in depth the lyrics of Dancing with the moonlit knight, and you actually take the time to read it all to see if it fits your own analysis

..... when you wonder why you didn't think of it sooner and give your first edition CLOSE TO THE EDGE LP breast implants, slap a wig on her, a little cherry red lip gloss, fishnet stockings, and get on one knee and whisper in the sleeve's ear - "you've always been my one true love of my life and would you make me the happiest man alive by accepting this ring?"  Let me know if your wedding invites haven't arrived in the mail yet, guys. A toaster would be nice.

No kidding, I am the same exact way.

I've been scrolling through here trying to find one that is me and i am so guilty of this.

I am so bad that if the liner notes even read something like this:
.......
.KEYBOARDS ON TRACKS 2 AND 10 PERFORMED BY: (the guitar player or bass player or singer or other member of the band)
......
I still almost wanna sell it or give it to someone!

Then to make it worse, I'll discover that the band will reproduce the keyboard parts live in concert via a midi controller. I scoff at them, I tell you! That's how bad I am!

I need a full-time keyboard player listed in the line-up LIVE AND IN THE STUDIO usually for me to ultimately be super-interested

You write track listings for your own imaginary concept albums on the inside covers of your notebooks despite having no musical training, ability, or connections.

You stop in the middle of sex, and to your bewildered girlfriend who only just realised that you have your headphones on, you have to explain that IT'S JUST AN INTERLUDE DEAR ...

When your IT lecturer explains the creation of the internet, and you turn to your friend to say, "And thus begins the web!'

-BIG hate of mine - When you actually get infuriated at people with unsorted iPods. Example:
...
Kings of Leon
Kings Of Leon
KINGS OF LEON
...

How hard is it to go into iTunes and fix that up?????
