HELLO AND WELCOME!

*Click here for the latest entries.*

Here you will find a detailed list of my music collection, including artwork, track listings and a short review of each item. This site has two purposes for me: first and foremost, it is to experiment with HTML language in order to create and design my own pages. All you see I have created using information picked up from helpful sites on the net. I know a lot of you can tell how amateurish this site might be, but I'm still learning and eventually, the site will get better and better as my collection grows larger and my authoring skills progress. Who knows, maybe one day I'll change the whole design if I get tired of it or discover new possibilities (you're already looking at version 2.0!). For now, everything is quite basic, but my goals are to make this look as professional as possible (although the code might not always be as clean and elegant as it should be). I don't like flashy things so I try to avoid them.

I also created the site in order to share my love of strange and original music with others while keeping track of everything I've got in my collection at any given time. So if I ever get robbed (God forbid!), I'll have archived and made everything public. I'll eventually try to include pictures as extra proof. For every recording I have, I will include a small humble review and a description of the artist or how I came to start listening to them. This is in order to make these pages more interesting than other "collection" sites which are often just listed items: an autobiographical music collection if you will. These reviews are far from being objective like the one's you might find in Wire magazine and nowhere near as creative as the typical Pitchfork prose. I see them as being more akin to the ones found at Aquarius Records (sorry if you guys are reading this and don't agree). The quality will vary quite a bit depending on how inspired I am at the time of writing (which often depends on how much coffee I've been drinking that day). I hope you'll find these pages fun to read and explore and that you will keep coming back as new albums and reviews come up.

I have sold a lot of CDs and vinyl ever since I started collecting. Practically all of them disappeared when came time to finance my move to Sweden (from Quebec, Canada) and a box with ninety CDs was lost a few years earlier (which included a huge Residents collection - I still have mental scars from that one) by the post office. These records are not included in these pages even though I am familiar with them. I eventually plan to get them back, but I am often too busy buying new albums and getting the old stuff back becomes less of a priority. So before you start writing to me and asking why I don't have artist "N" or "X", you should remember these things. Otherwise, any comments, corrections, details are more then welcome. If you find typos, syntaxical errors, broken links, things that don't make any sense or wrong information (it's possible, you can't always believe what you read on the net, but please link me to facts if you do so), I encourage you to contact me and let me know (by clicking on my name at the bottom or dragging it into your hotmail). I am planning to put up a forum so you can share your thoughts at one point, but that's not for now. Please note that, unless otherwise noted, I don't do trades and I am not a sharing service. None of the albums here are available to be burned. Sorry.

The site is best viewed in all major browsers but looks best on Safari and Netscape. (IE has been giving me lots of trouble with the latest design, so bare with me if it doesn't look all that good, but I'm working on it!).

Enjoy!
