Music:

My sons band Spridium ...very heavy metal...oh i must be getting old. Son turn that noise down!!

well theres so much music in this world...I'm addicted.. Who is my favourite all time ...probably Madonna. That woman is amazing, I remember parents coming into the shop throwing her album at me demanding a refund " i'm not letting my kids listen to her" they would say...The song "Like a virgin" stirred some emotions all around the world. I had a nine foot poster of her on my wall, my dad loved it..More so recent last 5 years I've been listening to Latin...not realising that in my younger days, Madonnas La isla bonita has a latin rythym..so it started there and suddenly i found myself addicted again... I'm a softy for a well produced music of latin mixed into anything... But locally I love Kantuta...hello Sailor and Ardijah.. Kiwi music surprizes me so much, the talent and the raw-ness intrigues me. I so love Rock..and trained my son to love it too...would put him to sleep with Faith no more, or guns and roses, deep purple and NZ's Dance Exponents.
