I forced it on my friends too but they got hung up on the language. I do have one friend who knew who the pillows were when I first met her, so I burned her a little mix cd and when I offered to burn her the actual albums she turned them down, saying she wasn't [i]that[/i] big of a fan. I got two other people into the pillows from my school but we weren't close friends and drifted apart. They weren't "[i]that[/i] big" of fans anyway.
Usually, now, if I want to drag someone into pillows fandom, I burn them an all-english-and-instrumentals mix and see if they enjoy. I am thinking of burning happy bivouac for a close friend, though, and see if she likes it.

The main lesson to learn is that the pillows, and lots of really other great bands, aren't meant to be listened by a lot of people. Why? Because a lot of people [b]suck[/b]. It turns out that, simply, sucky people listen to sucky music and cool people listen to cool music. If someone really likes good music then they will find the pillows on their own. Through karma? Through destiny?! No, through adult swim.
Us pillows fans should be happy that the pillows aren't an everyday commodity like computer chips or tampons. When you own and love rare and unwanted things then you have found a feeling that is truly special. I say enjoy anonymity to the fullest. That way there's less people to push through to get through the front of the stage

Two words I thought I'd never see together in a sentence.

Where I live we have nothing but rednecks, so they're not very open culture-wise. So yeah, the language barrier is the problem AND people have the worst taste of music here. You can't walk around town without seeing some whiteboy poser trying to dress up like a black gangster.

my friend showed them to me, and of the people he's showed, i'm the only one that's a true fan. as in i would knife my parents in their sleep to go see them in concert (hell, i'd do THAT anyway).

word of letter should do the trick <3

what the shit man, that's horrible.

And to Janice's comment. I wouldnt say sucky people listen to sucky music. Maybe thats so in your opinion, but people are entitled to their own opinions. you think their music sucks, they think your music sucks. The pillows just arent for everyone.
