ABOUT
♬ Musical Preferences:
l love listen to any genre, I'm quite eclectic and open minded, so my tastes aren't limited to just rock. But I can't really stand most of the Top 40 stuff. Pure trash music. They make good guilty pleasures though ;D With that said, you'll find some surprising artists on my profile that I do listen to from time to time.. ;)

I love alternative music. I love quirky and borderline stuff. I'm also very much addicted to classic rock, particularly from the 60's and 70's, as well as post-punk from the 80's. The music of yesteryears are surreal... It's the best of the best.
Sometimes I wish I could somehow teleport back to those times, so I can be part of all the good stuff, not the usual crappy excuse of mainstream music we hear now days ;[

Honourable Mentions:
Green Day - Let's go back to the very beginning, before I was even interested in rock music - Being exposed to their music was like dropping a bomb on my senses, because back then, my favourites were mainly much top 40, pop and hip-hop music. Without them, I would not be listening to what I'm listening to now. (Even if nowdays I don't listen to them as much as I did in 2005 - if I had been on last.fm back then I would have something like 32903 plays, I was kind of obsessed over them ..It's a long story.)

And while I'm at it, why not throw in a quote from the Reverend Strychnine Twitch, aka. Billie Joe Armstrong?

"Minority is about being an individual. It's like you have to sift through the darkness to find your place and be that individual you want to be your entire life."
or if you prefer:
"Attack your instruments. Don’t let them attack you."
Wise words indeed.

Nana by Ai Yazawa - The manga/anime series. It is a story about the lives of two girls both named Nana who met by coincidence (or fate) and how their lives was forever changed from that point onwards. One is your average sweet-fashion loving-shopaholic chick and the other is an awesome singer of a punk band, opposites of each other. I love that series! The storyline is excellent and very well executed - the characters felt alive and what they are going through felt very real. This series had a profound influence on my music taste direction (something like: gradual departure from modern top 40, more old school rock and began my appreciation for Japanese music) I think I kind of half-abandoned the radio from this point onwards.

Last.fm
This site is a LIFESAVER for me, who's been DYING to get away from the emo/urban music fad that most of my peers are/were/will be into. Modern mainstream music is brutal. It's lost so much originality and have turned into commercial kitsch in the last decade. Slowly disintegrating into overproduction, autotune and over use of dynamic compression. Thank you, Last.fm, for letting me discover so much good music, some of which I would have never even checked out before or heard of.

I MISS THE OLD LAST.FM. SO MUCH.. ;_;
It's changed a lot from when I first sign up here. I miss the old layout, the old radio, everything. I was guttered when that was changed.. Because of the changes, I haven't been on much as I used to.. Sigh, good old times.
