43. I like something from almost every genre there is

Mar 2014

and I'm not ashamed of anything I like. Yep, I've got Cyndi Lauper on the same shelf as Carcass. (they're my shelves - I can sort them how I want). Duran Duran hanging out with Dying Fetus. I even have a Lady Gaga record and it's just a tiny step over to Gorguts. You'll never catch me putting down roots type bluegrass or outlaw country. I like western swing as well as swinging jazz. Shit, I LOVE the Humpty Hump. And NWA and M.U.R.S. and Louis Logic and Nujabes and Dalek and they all share hard drive space with Tchaikovsky and Mozart and Grieg among others. I love bagpipes and Celtic fiddles and didgeridoos.

About the only thing I can't find any fun in is grunge, nu-metal and boy bands.
