Music Find Out What That Person Next to You on the Subway is Listening To

Posted by Lauren Beck on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 4:13 PM

You know the elevator scene in (500) Days of Summer where Zooey Deschanel’s character makes a comment to Joseph Gordon-Levitt about the Smiths song he’s listening to on his iPod, and he immediately falls in love with her? I like to think that can happen in real life, except on the Subway, with someone listening to Titus Andronicus. This makes the new Tumblr page, “What Are They Listening to on the Subway?,” especially exciting, as a team of three "researchers" ask random people to reveal what they’ve got blaring from their headphones. It's truly the best way to... well, I don't know. But I'm going to keep reading it anyway.
