For years now it really bugs me that I can't seem to listen to music (more so hip-hop/rap) without hearing the rapper/mc take a breath in between his/her verses.
I feel like I shouldn't be able to hear it, and then I do, I feel like our technology is still primitive, and then I think, the music/song is flawed in a way...
I don't know... i just can't help hearing it.
If you haven't heard, try listening, it's a quick and every mc sounds different (sort of)... I sometimes wonder if they know this and try to develop a way around it.
its really weird to me... very humanizing I suppose.
when people leave a message on my phone and spend a minute rambling guessing what i'm probably doing instead of leaving me a message about why they call,
and to boot when just do all that then just say "gimme a call when you get this"
You seriously hate that? I love finger squeak, at least when there's not too much of it. Whe I was a little PC, my favorite part of the hard rocking transition part of "We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions" was the part where Brian May played a power chord riff in A and you can hear a really loud finger squeak after each stop. It kind of drove it home that these awesome sounds were coming from an instrument, played by a human being with hands and fingers and--oh hey, I've got those!
Same thing with breathing. What's that Jethro Tull song (it's on the Aqualung album) where you hear Ian Anderson loudly gasp for air during a flute solo? That fucking rules!

You hear finger squeak in tons of songs, usually acoustic ones
Yes, you sure do. It's hard to suppress when the acoustic guitar is miked conventionally, with a microphone close to the guitarist's fingers, rather than using an inductive coil pickup or one of those piezoelectric chingalingies.
But it's not just acoustic songs. Finger squeak is everywhere, for fuck's sake! How about the opening chords to "No Feelings" by the Sex Pistols?
Breathing, too: you hear it in recordings all the time, and it can be used--in a controlled loss of control, if you will--for dramatic effect, as by Polly Jean Harvey in "Oh My Lover," or for comic effect as by Tom Lehrer when he pauses to theatrically "catch" his breath twice during "The Elements" (a piano ditty in which he recites the names of the chemical elements to the tune of Gilbert & Sullivan's "Major-General's Song"):
Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium
And gold and protactinium and indium and gallium (*deep breath*)
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium...
And so on. In conclusion, ARE YOU GUYS FUCKING NUTS?
