As a teen i would listen to just about any French variété / FM rock thhat i would stumble upon. Serious business started when i turned 12 and started to hang out with a dude form school that was the perfect ANTI-ME (as far as social background and basic education were concerned), it turned me to thrash and death metal and i spent two whole years listening exclsuively to early Sepultura and Obituary. At the same time i discovered Nirvana. When I turned 15 i turned to less eltitst (ha ha) muzak with another friend who made me listen Hendrix et all while i was starting to learn how to play drums i a school cover band. Shit we were POPULAR, playing RHCP covers. meh!! Good times though, i didn't knwo any better. With another friend i stated to smoke pot rather heavily at week ends and we would listen to the Doors in his car while realizing the car was shaking (that's the pot).
I discovered most of the music i listen to now when i turned 17, going to college / uni in a bigger city with proper music stores. Pixies, Sebadoh, Pavement and SY with Washing Machine back in 1995.
I have countless memories listening to SY. Wild sex on coke with Diamond Sea, considering killing myself for real listening to ATL a few years later...
Then i tuned to mathrock via Don Cab and haven't ceased exploring ever since.
While in england for a year, i turned to jazz Coltrane, Miles etc..
Another Friend turned me to the Gastr Grubbs O'Rourke Sea and cake, tortoise constellation back in 1999. That was good.
He also made me listen to Endless summer by Fennesz that same year thus leading me to more experimental stuff. What was good is that the O'Rourke, Toral breach was somehow heavily related to SY in which i was already totally into.
You know it could go one for ever.
yeah.
stream of consciousness writing a la Batreleaser sorry.
