Sobre mim

my recent obsession of 2009 is undoubtedly Rome (with Dernière Volonté coming in 2nd probably)

my twin obsessions of the last few years however have definitely been Death In June and Current 93.

but my very hard to separate Top 3 Of All Time are Joy Division, Sigur Rós and The Cure. probably with Skinny Puppy and Mogwai rounding out the top 5.

of course this begs the question: where are Trail of Dead, Einstürzende Neubauten and Nick Cave (Bad Seeds and Birthday Party)? cos they all deserve top 5 status as well... i have no answer for this. and then throw in Sonic Youth and Cocteau Twins... WHAT ABOUT Echo and the Bunnymen?!?! Bauhaus? i have no idea... *sigh* and of course my charts would suggest a place for Interpol and Swans too...

genrewise:
post-punk,
post-rock,
apocalyptic folk,
black metal,
screamo,
industrial,
ambient, aggrotech, darkwave, death rock, doom metal, drone, drum'n'bass, dubstep, ebm, electronica, emo (the real stuff), goth, grime, grindcore, hardcore, idm, indie, neofolk, noise, noise-rock, post-metal, power noise, punk, shoegazer. y'know, 'alternative'. and 'experimental'.

interests beyond music include my beautiful gf, my cats, arsenal fc, martial arts (karate, kobujutsu, tai chi, muay thai, kung fu), yoga, reading, single malt whisky, red wine and the great fookin outdoors in general.

DISCLAIMER: i'm a complete wimpy lefty liberal - any nsbm/dodgy politics metal which pops up here is cos i like the music, NOT the ideology! as a rule i avoid nsbm anyway, but it is hard to tell sometimes...
