I'm 18, from Melbourne, and like a wide variety of music. I've been into metal and punk for a long time (6, 7 years) and these days listen to thrash/death/NWOBHM/doom metal (some black) mainly old-school stuff, with punk I'm interested in old hardcore, no specific scene really, crust, some grind, some powerviolence. Outside of metal and punk, I like hip hop, funk/soul, psychedelic rock, some classic/hard rock, and some alternative rock. Occassionally I'll listen to a bit of blues, a bit of classical and a bit of reggae. Aside from music I like exploitation/b-movie films, and anything that is a real mind-fuck of a film (David Lynch is a favourite) or a really well-done emotional movie (I love Shane Meadow's films, all of them). I like some old cartoons like Ren and Stimpy, Johnny Bravo, Rocko's Modern Life, etc. Other than that I guess my hobbies are cricket, reading, going out. I'm at university, first-year, studying psychology. I want to become a therapist, because I think I'm good at that. As for my political views, I haven't subscribed to anything really. It's not something that I've worried about or put great thought into. I guess that's it, and I don't really know why I've gone and written a short essay on myself for a bunch of people that don't know me, but whatever, it's always fun to talk about myself. This looks like a good site and a good resource, and good luck to it. I will contribute as much as I can (hopefully alot). Edit - and I have a quick question. You say not to post well-known bands (Exploited, etc). What about rehearsals/bootlegs/demos from these bands? Are these allowed or not? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- adam pool cues billiards cues predator 314
Welcome man. Don't worry about writing an essay about yourself, it only helps us to get to know who you are. There's a couple people here from Ausieland, as for myself, I'm far away in California. Maybe you can hook up with them face to face or something. Organize. Any-who welcome to APN. Also, on a side note, in response to your side note. I think it's more geared towards mainstream bands, the ones that stifle everything anarchism stands for, you know, like commercial capitalist bands and such. And on another side note, we kind of, (and by "we" I mean the majority of us, I don't want to speak for everyone) have a big thing against them (The Exploited). You can read why here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2752&hilit=exploited+thread if you want. Peace!
