Hello - thanks for approving my membership!
Name - Dan
Age - Well, when I was born, Elvis was considered noise.
Music background - music software collector since 1971. Newbie to most of what is covered in Special Interests magazine but the learning has been fun. Still listen to the Doors and the Beatles et al from my generation, and also the "free" jazz I studied in the 80's and 90's. Picked up on Dark Ambient from the old Twin Peaks tv show and the rest is history. At my age, it's all history!
Philosophy - I'm not too excited by genres and sub-genres by name. My college-age sons know the difference between metalcore and math metal but I do not. If it moves me intellectually or viscerally, it's good. Still looking for rap music to comply but I can find the good in most anything else.
In current rotation in my car - Bill Kirchen, Seth Putnam's band (not sure if I'm allowed to post the name), Smell & Quim, Albert Ayler, Doors, Nurse with wound
