And here some about my personality:
What am I looking for in music?
First of all the most important thing is the emotions. When I „feel” music, the rest attributes of sound don't matter. It is good also, when the piece has something new, unexpected. Unusual combination of sound brings „wow” on my face and keeps entire song in memory. The next point is the catchiness. The catchy melody (of course it does not always mean „simple”) is for me really moving. For this reason my favourite genre is funk.
Last played tunes (last.fm):
