like alot of people here I'm entrenched in a large enough spectrum to just go around blurting that I like all music. I'm alot better at saying what I hate...
personal cornerstones though have to be the Beatles (doesn't matter what you dig, it begins and ends there), errm the Fall, and acid house began a whole culture that has made me think I wasn't alone, if only briefly (i can't speak for electronic/dance in the US, except Chicago and Detroit of course
)
Oh and a slew of punk bands that meant alot to me, that made music free again. the Clash, etc.
I also follow the UK underground and bemoan the state of popular music, almost every waking minute.
I go through phases. Which I intend to chronicle, music included, on my blog (shameless plug, sorry)
I'm trying to interview Dave Mustaine of Megadeth for it, hopefully the first of many.
thanks for the warm welcome, chaps, crack on!
