About Me


Well, what to say...
I'm a musiclover from germany, mainly interested in 80s wave and electronic music. If you are interested in trading drop me a note.
Occasionally I am also DJing in germany or france, or poland or wherever I am, hard to find locations to do something really small for people that are deep into music, though.
(Do you dare to book me ? hehe)
That leads to another thing to say about me...
hehe
A lot of people dislike me because I always say what I think. I am "this Mike" that always bitches about the usual events where the DJs always play the same classics over and over again just to fill the dancefloor, no matter how boring their sets become for people that go a bit deeper into music than the usual Ibizagoth.
If you (whoever reads this) can't stand people that always say what they think (no matter how rude it might sound) or hate people that talk about music all night on parties better not add me as a friend, we will not match at all. Of course I also expect you to always be honest, even if it might hurt.
About the rest I am tolerant, you can be straight or gay, vegetarian or carnivore, male or female (or an alien), black, yellow, red, green or white, member of Al Kaida or the US army, catholic or pastafarian, it not matters at all, go ahead and add me.
If this didn't disgust you too much and you want more details about me read on the left or simply ask...

My Interests

music, reading books, chat with friends, dig in the wide www to find long lost indie-pearls, parties (still searching for the perfect one), concerts, did I mention music ?, RPG (sadly no time lately to play), many others

for closer infos or any suggestions drop me a line

Music:

Depends on my mood, generally I love Minimalelectronics, New Wave, Cold Wave, Postpunk, Deathrock and some other stuff. I always prefer 80s, for me even the best new bands can never reach the quality of the 80s heroes. Doesn't mean all new bands are shitty, but the old ones are generally better, maybe because of the different time, mood and society in this decade.

My current mood (since some months) leads me away from guitars that are harder than Wave (absolutely no need for punk at the moment) and very deep into the electronic part of the 80s. I could die (or kill) for some new great minimal or synthwave-tracks.

Movies:

I love movies, it is simply great to lie on the couch with some chips and a coke and to watch a stupid mindless movie.
My favorite movies are usually not of the "intelligent" or "highly artistic" sort, as for me a movie is pure entertainment. Some few movies of this sort I like too though.
I prefer the genres Horror, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Comedy and Cartoon, here some of my all time favorite movies :
• Star Wars Episode 4-6
• Lord Of The Rings (I anyway love ALL movies by Peter Jackson !)
• The Ice Pirates
• Dune (David Lynch-version of course)
• The Private Navy of Sgt. O'Farrell (Bob Hope kicks ass !)
• Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy (Don't Panik ! - the OLD serial of course...)
• Dark Star (John Carpenter, anybody remembers Bomb 20 ?)
• Ghoul School (and anyway all trashy homemade splatter movies...)
• Operation Dance Sensation
This should give an idea of my shitty taste, feel free to write if you are into this stuff too

Television:

some people say my taste generally is shitty, but my taste about TV is even worse...
But okay, build your own opinion, here we go :
Parker Lewis, Prince Of Bel Air, King Of Queens, Der Bulle von Tölz, Skijumping, Sumo, Dart, Dragonball, Signor Rossi, Der kleine Vampir, Catweazle, MTV Jackass, The Simpsons, Charmed, Gilligans Island, ...
enough ? *g*

Books:

Let's say authors...
hehe
R.A. Salvatore, Timothy Zahn, Wolfgang Hohlbein, Robert Asprin, Craig Shaw Gardner, Fred Saberhagen, Thomas Gifford, Terry Pratchett, Dan Brown, ...
usually all Fantasy, Fantasy/Comedy, some Sci-Fi and I also love a lot books about conspiracies in the church, like "Assassini" by Thomas Gifford or "Illuminati" by Dan Brown.

Heroes:

living : Jean Reno, David Bowie, Fidel Castro dead : Rozz Williams (R.I.P.), Rudolf Moshammer (R.I.P.) fictional : Drizzt Do'Urden, Robert Craven, Darkwing Duck
