Arturo: What are you listening to? Ling: Some new music. You want to hear it? Arturo: All right. That’s pretty mellow, kinda bluesy, isn’t it? It’s got an interesting indie feel. Ling: Do you like it? Arturo: It’s all right. I like more funky, dance music myself, but this is okay. It’s not too depressing. Ling: That’s faint praise. Arturo: No, no, I do like it. I guess I’m usually in the mood for more up- tempo music, something with a driving beat. This kind of music is just not my thing, you know? Ling: Yeah, that’s too bad. Arturo: Why? Ling: That was a track I recorded last week. Arturo: This is your music? In that case, I love it. Ling: You’re just saying that. Arturo: No, really, it’s growing on me. In fact, I want to hear more. How about if I bring over some dinner on Saturday and you can play me a few more tracks? Ling: You don’t mind? Arturo: Believe me, I’ll be all ears.
