I tried this once...  While driving in a car with a girl I decided to put
on the BoC album and see if I could get her to like it.  She thought it
was 'okay' but she would rather have 'something she could sing along to'.
So, I skipped the disc to Aquarius and sang along with the woman counting
the numbers.  She wasn't impressed...

In my experience, I have never met a woman who was into IDM.  Could quite
possibly have something to do with where I am living at the moment...
