Guess I should have done this a while ago...
 

Hello all!

I've posted a bit by now so some of you may or may not have a feel for my personality but I thought I'd introduce myself officially... long overdue. My name is John, I live in Boston, MA, Somewhat United States of some place we took a while back. I am a music lover first and foremost, and I play drums as a hobby. My desk job allows for plenty of time to piss away on this lovely forum.

I won't list any bands here but as far as my musical taste goes, I hate genres... I like music that defies classification, or defines it. I'm super open to new things. I've learned over and over again how I can grow to like something I might not initially have been interested in. I try to keep a level head, I usually hate to argue, and I openly invite all to dash my ego any time it shows its ugly head. Thanks to all, see you around.

Well, I've been enjoying your posts so far. Welcome belatedly aboard!

Thank you Janszoon! I enjoy your contributions as well!

Nice and sweet intro post. :)

I like that you like music that defies/defines classification, this is an interesting taste, maybe name one band that you feel exemplifies this?

Being open = the way to be.

Thanks for the kind words... a few that defy: Bjork, Bone Gunn, Bill Frisell, Bela Bartok, Georgy Ligeti. Some that define: James Brown (funk), Miles Davis (many different specifics of jazz), D'Angelo (neo-soul), McClusky (they're own breed of alt./punk).... yeah I could probably go on and write a dissertation on this topic but I'll leave you with those examples.

Oh don't you also prefer the term masshole? Haha!
