    About me:

    After being surrounded in my early years by classic rock, the blues, and '70s soft rock, I came of age as new wave reached its peak. Then I went through a period where I listened to classic rock around my friends & pop-alternative (especially synthpop) in private, before discovering the "alternative" universe of college radio.

    Somewhere along the way, I picked up obsessions with goth rock and goth/ethereal, while also listening to quite a bit of both Public Enemy & industrial music. At the moment, I'm really enjoying music by the Cocteau Twins & other dreampop / shoegazer bands.

    In general I tend to look for good songs irrespective of genre, and hope that you'll enjoy the MP3's that I'll be sharing with you at MP34U.com.
