Hello adidasss,
So I'm 32, male, I am currently living in Paris but I'm orginally from Hong Kong, my father's English while Mom's Chinese, so I'm "Eurasian", if you like.
I play the guitar, so I tend to be drawn towards music which are
guitar oriented, vis, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, Led Zepellin and other guitar greats. However, I listen to a very wide range of music as I went through many defferent stages growing up, eg.
Heavy Metal (Metallica),
Hard Rock (anything from AC/DC to Black Sabbath to Rage Against The Machine to 3 Doors Down to Ausioslave etc.), some
Thrash (Panetra, Overkill etc.),
Punk (Sex Pistols, The Clash, Exploited and the likes),
Goth (The Mission, Joy Division, Sisters Of Mercy, Bauhaus etc.), A lot of
Reggae (Bob Marley, Macka B., Burning Spear, Black Uhuru and Eek-A-Mouse etc.) some
Ska (The Specials, The Skatilites, Laurel Aitken etc.) Some
Dub (Mad Professor etc.) few
Hip-Hop (Snoop Dogg, Wu-Tang etc.) Some
RnB / Oldies (Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Marvin ***e etc.) A lot of John Lennon, A huge variation of
Pop (anything from U2 to Sting to Depeche Mode to Ben Harper, Keane, Dire Straits etc.) A good number of
Trance (Faithless, Chicane etc.), some
Techno, (Favourite DJs like Sasha, Tiesto etc.), some
Trip Hop (David Holmes, Tricky, The Herbaliser, DJ Shadow etc.), some
Acid Jazz (Portishead, Acoustic Alchemy etc.) some
Folk (Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Nick Drake etc.) some
Guitar Legends (Steve Via, Joe Sat. Eric Johnson etc.) some
Lounge (anything from Café del Mar to Buddha bar) a fair bit of
Alternative (Nine Inch Nails, Ash, Jane's Addiction, Smashing Pumpkins, Asian Dub Foundation etc.) A fair bit of
Blues (John Lee Hooker, Gary Moore etc.) a fair share of
Indie (Metric, Elbow, The Dandy Warhols, The Stand etc.), a fair bit of
'60s to '70s (The Doors, Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground, Steve Miller Band, The Who, The Waterboys, etc.), some
Grunge and Pre-Grunge (Mother Love Bone, Sound Garden, Nirvana, Alice In Chains etc.) The Dogs D'Amour, The Smiths are also some of my favourites. Moby's been making good music, more recently I've been listening to a lot of Muse, Royksopp are excellent, and so forth... So you see it's pretty difficult to categorize exactly what kind of Music I like... hell, I'll even admit I've got Beethovan and Mozart and even some New Age Georgian Chant and Nature Music stuck in that Meida Player of mine somewhere...
Anyways, as you can probably work out by now, music plays a very large part of my life, it's the only thing that carries me away, it's my expression, it's my comfort, my haven, my shelter, it feeds my soul, it's my memories and it's my reality, it's my laughters and my tears... I don't mean to get all cheesy with words, but yea, I love music.
