Good Evening!

My name is Stijn and I'm a 26 year old long-haired beardy guy from the Netherlands.
Altough my parents never really were that much into music, I've been interested in collecting music since I was only a couple of years old.
My musical taste is very diverse. I like everything that doesn't do 'boom-boom' all the time.
I like Jazz, Ska, Punk, Reggae, Metal, Indie, Funk, Blues, Sixties Psychedelica, Classical music, folk, Klezmer, world music, stoner rock, singer/songwriter, dub, bluegrass, hardrock...
I don't really like R&B, Hiphop, and dance music, altough I must say that some of my albums (e.g. Babylon Circus, Sublime) Have hip-hop influences.
Then there's another weird thing, I don't like female voices in music. I have some old no doubt albums and a Janis Joplin album and that's mainly it.
It's hard to give you an idea of all the music I listen to, that's why I put a link to my record collection in my signature.

My other interests are Audio (I'm a bit of an audiophile) Photography and oldtimer cars.

My main hobby is collecting tape decks (reel to reel recorders) of all sorts.
I have machines that sound utterly brilliant (better than any CD player, if you ask me ), but I also collect old portable tube machines that are more interesting because of the way they look and work, than because of the way they sound.
Together with a friend I run my own open-reel-forum analogaudio.nl.
Turns out we're not the only ones collecting these machines since the forum is incredibly busy. We have roadtrips, meetings, excursions. Loads of fun.

I decided to join this forum since there's no good Music forum in the Netherlands. We have some forums for musicians and some forums about one musical genre, but none of them is serious in any way.
I was thinking about setting up a dutch music forum myself. This may happen at some point in time, not sure yet.

It's almost 3am here so I'll soon be calling it a day.
But not before I show you my face.
Viewer discretion advised... three, two one...

Ah, well... In that case I'll just add it as an attachment.

Good night Folks!
