I have a myspace site here and am keen to make friends with as many musicians and music fans as possible. I am always keen to try out new recommendations and am constantly exploring the 'net for interesting sounds. I am a Napster subscriber, mainly listening but not buying there. I buy music on download from Amie Street and if I really like something I'll buy the tangible version on CD. Finally, I have signed up with Last FM in order to help "my" artists get wider exposure.

I guess I go for interesting voices and melodies first, lyrics second.  In my early 20s I briefly played keys in a rehearsing rock band, but nothing came of it. Nevertheless I loved making the music. My other interests are photography, cinema (including good soundtracks!) and soccer (supporting Reading FC).

I have loved live music right from when I attended performances at my university folk club (Keele, UK) and other student gigs. 

Artists I have followed at one time or another include:

Rolling Stones, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep, Hawkwind, Can, King Crimson (pre-1975 lineup), Neil Young, The Band, some Genesis, early Deep Purple, Mountain, Cream, Car avan, Sean Tyla, Dave Edmunds, Ian Dury, The Jam, Edgar Broughton, Pink Fairies, Rush, Steeleye Span, Fairport, Richard Thompson, Velvets, Sabbath, Blizzard of Oz, Judas Priest, Led Zep, Peter Gabriel, Peter Hammill, Joy Division, some Zappa, Human League, TG, Kraftwerk, Wire, Siouxsie, Magazine, Split Enz, Burlesque, Fab Poodles, New Order, Crowded House, The Cure, Talking Heads, Beta Band, King Creosote (and other Fence stuff), Finn Brothers, Muse, Beck, Doves, The Killers, Yo La Tengo, Ry Cooder, Cat Power, Catherine Feeny, Tift Merritt, Joan as Policewoman and lots of other folk and singer-songwriter types, especially Americana and alt-folk.  But I'll listen to most anything really.
