# I'm TWENTY AND ONE HALF.
Doug Paisley (folk) and Caroline Keating (singer-songwriter). THEY'RE BOTH REAL GOOD.

# Yes.
As I mentioned, I'm more than twice your age. I'm really not criticising, that would be stupid of me.
It's just that I saw Devo, the Clash, and The Buzzcocks before you were even born, I have difficulty relating to these genre-mash things...
I'm sorry.

# Urgh i remember telling my girlfriend about My Bloody Valentine
she looked at me and said "Don't you mean BULLET for my Valentine?"

*shudders*
She does have awful taste in music, bless her.

# Urrrggghhhhh.
If that's your type of thing Bardo Pond make some rather good psyche-rock/shoegaze.

# What does that mean?
I'm really not being difficult - but what does that actually mean?

I thought some of the Mad-Chester bands were shoe-gazers, I'm evidently wrong.

# It's a genre which came from Alternative rock and peaked in the mid 90's.
"Common musical elements of shoegazing consist of distortion, droning riffs and a "wall of sound" from, sometimes two, noisy guitars. Typically, two distorted rhythm guitars are played together to give an amorphous quality to the sound. Although lead guitar riffs were often present, they were not the central focus of most shoegazing songs."

# First Concert I ever went to.
Siouxsie and the Banshees and Kraftwerk being the following.....if memory serves.

I'm actually rather proud.

# Kraftwerk?
Then you are somewhat acquainted with the forefathers of IDM then.(and just about every other kind of electronic music I understand)
