To meet new people and share with the community. I will also travel again next year so I want to build my references for when I am away. I also have a spare room and couch so it seems a waste not to make them available for use.

Very little from anything that is mainstream. I have a diverse interest in music and at the moment and am exploring a lot of 60's psychadellic rock. I also enjoy hip hop and rap, but really whatever, as long as it is good and not commercial crap.
