I listen, write, edit and collect music every single day. I'm part of a few unknown projects ranging from Death Metal to Electronica. In my spare time I like to meet friends, write & listen to music as well as watch movies.

I'll give any artist at least one go, I enjoy progressive rock/metal, death/black metal, electronica, gothic metal, darkwave/drone etc.

Most of the tracks that I listen to are from genuine albums/eps/compilation CDs. The only time I download music is so I can enjoy long deleted and very rare cds or live bootleg recordings.
And I only use spotify so I don't have to rip/download my cd collection on to my PC. I don't use it to listen to albums I don't have.
