This. 

It's getting to such an extreme that if I don't see a song on an album thats over 6 or 7 minutes I'm extremely hesitant to buy it. It's ridiculous, but whatever.

You become almost physically aroused when you see a tracklisting split into acts.

... when all your CD collection makes no sense to most (or all) of your friends. 

... when you're spending office hours reading RSS feeds of PA forums and album reviews.

The people who actually work at the record shop have never heard of any of the bands/albums you're asking for.

GREATEST. THREAD. EVER.

When you can drive away unwanted female attention by giving a highly detailed deconstruction of every Yes album...in 15 minutes.

Clap Sometimes when i'm in the biggest record store in this town (strangely have some Gentle Giant and ELP imports), and get annoyed by the shopkeeper asking me what I want, so i told him i was looking for a new beardfish album. Fends him off everytime.

^... there are some creepy women in this world.

Luckily I haven't met any of them. But I have met ones asking me to dance to Metro Station and Jonas Brothers and that is where I DRAW THE LINE.

No matter how hot you are, you are not making me dance to Metro Station!

I'll add another one here for you then.

... when a woman cannot ask you to dance to Metro Station and Jonas Brothers, despite how hot she might be.

I have a true story about a guy who lured a woman back to his room and was all set to score and then put on Karn Evil 9 because he thought it would impress upon her how out-there and arty he was or something and instead she.

Instead she what? Scarpered? Attacked him with a machete? Turned into a mechanical armadillo? Come on I'm intrigued!
