If you ask us, there isn't a whole lot of rhyme or reason to what sets a body's heart aflutter. That being said, people with common interests do tend to get along fairly well, so we steer clear of condemning the Web's myriad dating sites.
Tastebuds, a new such service,
focuses solely on common musical tastes, striving to unite
early R.E.M. fans the world over.
While it's nice to think of an Oi!-boy-meets-rudegirl story unfolding on the Web 2.0, we think Tastebuds might run into a slight hurdle. That straight girl who rocks the dogsh*t out of the Melvins, and that straight guy who totally digs Ray LaMontagne are going to be
swamped.

What a fabulous idea for a dating site. Music is such a huge part of my everday routines. From Pat Methany, Michael Franks, Sade, The Rippingtins, Nils, way back to Led Zepplins' "Kashmir". It would be great to meet a man who is successful and yet is groovin' to satellites, "jazz cafe" to take his mind off an upcoming deal.
Thanks for the "heads up".

this has got to be the stupidest idea I have ever seen. Best place for meeting people are chat rooms. At least in chat rooms you get to actually talk to them and see them on a daily basis. The problem with dating sites especially like this one is its matching you with music, How stupid is that? I know alot of people that like the same music as me and were surely not compatiable. I know lots of people that have had successful relationships from chat rooms because you can actually talk with the person you like for several months before exchanging personal information where in a dating site people feel pressured because first off its a dating site. Chat rooms get rid of that pressure. I went to a site called www.peoplechatnow.com and I met a very sweet girl there. The cool thing was I didnt look desperate joining a dating service. I was able to just talk with her until we felt comfortable enough to pursue it further. So my advice people is stick with chat rooms. Dating sites put to much pressure on you and in some ways make you look desperate...i dunno...just my opinion.
