About Me

Essentially I am on MySpace to discover new music and meet people who are like me: passionate about music. I listen to a lot of music, I buy a lot of music and I bore everyone to death forcing them to listen to my music. I believe I am overcompensating for not being able to play an instrument or sing.Occasionally I dance to music, but most of the time the music I listen to is the kind you really have to listen to. When at parties I tend to favour silence from the party-goers when great music is played. Usually I try and take over as DJ. This is not always to the liking of my friends... but they know me by now.I have other passions also, but these are not the reason for having this MySpace area. They include football (the only good sort, that is soccer for all our american friends) and First World War.
