MY MUSIC!, We let’s see, I could give you a laundry list of names, but do you really read the bands anyway? I like Classic Alternative-I FEEL SO FUCKING OID SAYING THAT! But anyways, from Echo and the Bunnymen & The Cure to The Smiths and so on. More on the obscure side, The Mighty Lemon Drops, VAST, Curve, Recoil, My Bloody Valentine. YES, I WAS GOTH BOY!!... SO ALL THAT MUSIC. Also I grew up in it and loved every minute! The industrial scene that was Chicago in the 80's- Ministry, the pop version and the industrial dance and heroin days as well, My Life with The Thrill Kill Kult, and the whole Wax Trax scene. Also into Social Distortion, The Descendents, Rev. Horton Heat and so on. I have also benn known to enjoy Big band jazz, lounge music (Dino to Big Bad VooDoo Daddy) It's probably easier to list what I don’t like. BIG fan of the new wave of bands like The Killers, Death Cab for Cutie, The Bravery, Interpol and so forth., high
