my handle is mono, aka monaural66 on general web, live in Japan. i love playing and listening to music, a wide range of one such as pre/post war blues, jazz, rhythm n' blues, doo wop, rock n' roll, latin, teen pop, beat, garage, psychedelic, progressive, hippie, hard rock, early/post punk, nw, and so on... The Beatles was the first encounter with overseas rock music for me. i was then 13 years old.
now my musical/cultural tastes are mainly 1960s ones.
Music (listening/playing), Records/vinyls (collecting), Movies/Films (cheap sci-fi, comedy etc.), DJ (spinning vinyls), Art (Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Ancient Egyption Art, Guy Peellaert etc.), 3R (Reduce, Reuse & Recycle).
worldwide people who are interested in around 1950s-1970s music & culture.

Following is a poetry, appended on back sleeve, by Max Savana, a compiler. I love this one pretty much.
It's gonna rain outside and I think I'll drop a cigarette.
Rock 'N' Roll saved my life, guys...my empty life. No friends, no girls,
no money. Only records. Yes, records, because I'm a collector. An old,
fat, ugly collector, guys.
It's raining outside and I'll drop another cigarett.
Thoughts go fast, guys. I remember the high school days They always considered me a nerd...no hopes, no chances...nobody wanted to go with me to the teen dances. So I started to collect records, specifically 60s punk 45s, in particular the moody and the miserable ones. They reflect my life and state of mind.
It's raining again and I'll drop another cigarette.
Now I'm thinking about my mom, my lovely mom, and my dad...they are so proud of me. I love them and they buy me all these expensive records. I've never disappointed them and I'll always stay in my room listening to my records...because Rock 'N' Roll saved my life, guys.
It's raining outside. I can hear raindrops. And I'll drop my last cigarett...
