::: what takes up my time :::
Music, films, world cinema, photography, animation/cartoons/anime, japanese culture, cooking, going out to clubs/free parties, technology (i can get a bit geeky), travel...
I'd like to meet:
::: i'm fond of :::
People who have an idea of their own.
People who like going out to bars/clubs/free parties to have fun whatever they're on!
People who can teach me about things i never knew exsisted.
Music:
::: what i listened to last week :::
click here
to see what else i have listened to recently...
Basically, i'm a person who actually likes all types of music (as opposed to those who CLAIM that, and then list 20 indie bands - all "the" bands i might add - and then one or two DnB artists or crappy RnB, which apparently makes their taste diverse).
::: how i got to what i like :::
I went from listening to my sisters Rave music when growing up,
onto listening to Hip-Hop, Big Beat, Dance etc,
then i'm sure the angst of youth took over and i started listening to Rock, Metal, Punk, Emo etc.
When i moved away from home i drew some inspiration from friends and got into Drum n Bass, Dub, Jungle, Electronica, Techno etc etc...
But having been subjected to years of crap radio and music videos has also got me into Bootleg, Bastard Pop, Remix and Mash-up
Here's the skinny on what mash-up is about
Movies:
::: film :::
I'm a fan of Japanese directors, and lose more of the little faith i have with hollywood with every remake, but also like french and spanish films too...
I spent a while doing my music choices so i will update this with my favourite films when i have the time!
