Just in case you didn't know:

Don't expect prog-rock from the 70s or classical music from 1700s. I am more into modern, or rather, post-modern music. To name a few examples, just for the hell of it (in no particular order):

• (Post-)Punk and (post-)hardcore stuff like appearing on , especially and .
• Indie Rock/pop, some of it British, some German, some American, e.g. Blur, Radiohead, Pavement, Sonic Youth, as long as it's got decent melodies it's O.K., oh yes, and not to forget about the Blues Explosion. There are also two local Edinburgh bands whom I've come to like quite a lot, namely and both of which are on SL Records.
• Electronic and experimantal music, as released on , e.g. , or four small German labels, , , and Morr Music (although the latter is still under heavy construction). To name a few bands I like in that sort of area: Do Make Say Think, Sofa, Fred is Dead, Village of Savoonga, Couch, ISAN, B. Fleischmann, and many more…
• Over the last two or three years, I have also come to like jazz, or rather, Miles Davis, probably due to the fact that a friend of mine, Christoph, has got a rather big collection of Miles' records so that I had easy access to lots of music by him without actually having to buy it without knowing what I was in for; to those who know me and in particular my habits of buying records and CDs, it comes as no surprise that I by now own about 25 Miles Davis records, mostly on vinyl, but also some on CD...

As I spend much time and money listening to and buying new music, if possible still on VINYL, I was quite delighted when two friends of mine said that they were going to start up a fanzine and asked me if I would like to join them. Of course I said yes, and here is the result: Pittiplatsch3000, a fanzine on life-style, popular culture, music and more. In addition to that, as in there punk and related musical styles are not valued too highly, I am also occasionally contributing to the fanzine of my (younger!) brother, Whiplash, until recently known as Rockaway Zine.

Here are a couple of (possibly) interesting links apart from those already included up there:

• All Music Guide
• Poll Star Tour Information
• Addicted to Noise WebZine
• Intro Online
• Flight13 Mailorder
• Southern Records Mailorder

So I guess I'll stop here before I spend even more time on this page than I have already done, this is only a small glimpse at my musical interests…
