My girlfriend got back from college break and we were listening to Scar Symmetry in my car, and she told me that she had only been able to find a few of their songs. I asked her if she found any Opeth (which she had never heard of before she met me), and she told me that she had been listening to a ton of Opeth while studying for her tests this term.
I immediately dropped my jaw, in both happiness and surprise.
I had bought her one of the $30 tight Opeth girl t-shirts at the concert they had in Worcester at the Palladium, and she was wearing it at school one day, and one of her friends saw it and flipped out in surprise, probably similarly to my reaction, and hooked her up with a ton of Opeth albums. They even watched the Lamentations DVD concert on a theater screen in an unused auditorium with a few other people, which I've never even seen, making me somewhat jealous.
The funny part of this story is that she has a roomate who sleeps too much and asks my girlfriend to help her get up if her alarm doesn't wake her up, so my girlfriend turns on When from MAYH, which her roomate hates and wakes up immediately to because it starts off all nicely and then goes brutal instantly. Fucking awesome.
That was a well spent $30.
