Maybe you? Friends (old and new alike). Interesting people related to any type of great and original music (or other art forms as well). And just to let everyone know, I don't automatically add all profiles that request it just to get the friend number up. If I add you it means I have chosen, decided, to do it. That's it.
You have been marked on my profile map! Click to zoom-in.
And just for information, these world map things were added here after over 1500 people had already visited my profile. Really smart, but hey, not everything is...
CURRENTLY IN MY TOP FRIENDS: musical excellence as well as some people that have found their way into my heart.
YES PLEASE! Couldn't function without music! Every day in my life has a soundtrack, every cell of my being is connected to the tunes and derives energy from them. And sometimes silence itself is music to my ears... I often focus on lyrics and melodies, but my taste in music cannot really be categorised or labeled...
"Joka ikinen kerta palaan musiikkiin / Se on Saharan hiekkaa, joka tunkeutuu sieraimiin / Se sanomatta sanoo, ei usko, ei politikoi / Se puhumatta puhuu..." - Laura Sippola, Sahara

A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series (Douglas Adams)
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
--
Arthur: If I asked you where the hell we were, would I regret it?
Ford: We're safe.
Arthur: Oh good.
Ford: We're in a small galley cabin in one of the spaceships of the Vogon Constructor Fleet.
Arthur: Ah, this is obviously some strange use of the word safe that I wasn't previously aware of.
--Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
