My Intro
Hi, I'm looking for a higher calibur of internet discussion on music and this site looks like it fits that description.
I like many styles of music: Rock, Jazz, Hip-hop, Reggae, Punk, Metal, Electronic, Blues, Classical -- including many of the subgenres of all of those. I can usually find something that I like in any genre of music but I also usually only like a handful of favorites from each one. I am 34 years old and have been actively appreciating/collecting/loving music since the mid-80s. Looking forward to the banter... |

I've seen a few of your posts, good stuff. You should definitely stick around.
Can you whip out a list of favorites that we can judge you by?

Also the classics from the late 80s/early 90s, People Under the Stairs, "indie" rap like stuff on the Anticon and Def Jux labels, turntablists and instrumentalists like DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, Kid Koala... Electronic: Aphex Twin (and other early Warp label stuff), DJ /rupture, Burial, Flying Lotus, Boxcutter, The Bug...

I guess that's enough for now -- judge away. |
