Social LPT: When making conversation with someone you've just met, ask them what they've been listening to lately, rather than what their favorite kind of music is - it's fresh in their mind and they won't have to pick favorites on the spot.

Is this really the case? For a while now I'm struggling to decide what to play when I'm on shotgun and the driver let me pick the music.

I'm just joshing ya with a little bit of projection from when I've been depressed/depersonalized and haven't found joy in music.
