MY FAVOURITE WASTE OF TIME

About Me

Four bipedal primates belonging to the mammalian species "Homo sapiens" with highly developed brains capable of abstract reasoning, language, and introspection. This mental capability, combined with an erect body carriage that frees their upper limbs for manipulating objects, has allowed My Favourite Waste of Time to make far greater use of their instruments than other species, such as crustaceans, amphibians or reptiles ever could. My Favourite Waste of Time originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago, but now inhabit Belgium.
Unbeknownst to most people. My Favourite Waste of Time are actually comprised of 60% banging tunes, 30% good times and 10% reconstituted pork.

Sounds Like: You have just arrived on planet Earth from a far away galaxy called Xanthropia. In the galaxy Xanthropia there are no musical instruments. You have been sent on a mission to investigate and organise musical instruments earthlings use to make sounds. Once you have accomplished this mission you will need to use earthling materials and form a band to take back to Xanthropia.
