About Me

About me ? What ? I like music mostly, it was what kept me going through the shit times, helped me get hope again from hell, and I'm ending up there on my space thank to The Others & 853 people I think !A cool lot, and weird how music makes me forget anything about age or whatnot, can't care less now! ----------------------------------------- Also, because I don't know how else to 'advertise' it here, my (sort of) 'liveblog' is to be found at this bizarre address on the Gigs List page)http://perso.numericable.fr/~angolivi/_private/index.ht m
