Many users rate how influential a record has been (which is a fair way of approaching the issue of rating records). However, I don't. Instead I rate how much I liked it the day I rated it.

I don't care about fashion, attitude, or peer group pressure, I have a penchant for good music. I'm a man who loves a good tune.

For me, it's not about mainstream or indie, it's about good or bad.

I'm an aesthete and I hate ugliness.

I don't buy albums where I dislike the music just because the cover's cool or because critics or other people like it.

I'm not a collector, neither completist, but a connaisseur.

I'm not a hater, but have respect for any artist.

As melody and rhythm lie in the nature of music, I appreciate it, when they're there. And I miss them when they're not. Neither should be removed. You can, but be aware of the results.

Ich mag schöpferische Phantasie und gestalterische (Raf)finesse.

Kontextualität kann man nicht hören.
