Also, I just glanced at your profile and saw you're interested in philosophy. I am too...

Are you? I was actually going to minor in it, but I changed my mind. Hahaha.
Have you taken any classes?
And can you drop some artist names? Maybe I can recommend someone for you.

I've never taken any classes... my interest is pretty casual, and I'm not sure if I'm going to make it something bigger in my life. I just find all of it quite fascinating in a fun, mind-boggling sort of way.

Ulrich Schnauss, Sigur Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Squarepusher, Pink Floyd, Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Streetlight Manifesto, The Who...

Yeah, I took one class. I liked it, but the teacher was an ass, and when I ended up with a C in that class because I didn't study, I realized that I probably shouldn't pursue it as a career.
It's definitely mind-boggling.
And I like Sigur Ros, or what I've heard of them.
How old are you?

Awesome! What have you heard?

I'm eighteen. Nineteen in a month or so.

Still, The Wall is better than some can do. My dad considered himself a PF fan, having only known about DSOTM, Animals, and WYWH. He was fascinated to find that they had albums other than those three...
