[SeattleFriend]

Name: Brian

Age: 39 (yup, I'm bordering on fogeysville)

Occupation: Apartment manager (currently working on getting long overdue degree)

Fave food: I too cannot resist a tasty bovine (must be soaked in beer before bbq-ing it though)

Fave Band/Artist: Obviously Joe tops the list for me, but a gander at the list of music foundhere gives insight to the rest.

Fave albums: Joe - CTWIF; 1 Giant Leap - self titled; Transglobal Underground - Impossible Broacasts; Gomez - Split the Difference; Graham Pattison - Alphabetical Songs; Y - Me; Michael Franti & Spearhead - Stay Human

Dream/Goal: Finish getting a degree and use it to promote music that does not suck. Oh to be a thorn in the side of the large-scale music industry. Other than that, continued expansion of life's soundtrack and enjoying the company of my wife and three cats.

[Toxic Angel]

Name: Valentijn

Age: 26

Occupation: I'm a M.A. graduate in Archaeology (it's a subdivision of Anthropology in the US but not in the Netherlands, where I'm from) with a specialisation in the Americas (more specificially: Northern Mexico). I'm not doing anything with the American continent at the moment, but I am working in Archaeological projects: I'm making nice digital maps on protected monuments and I'm updating data in a reference program, for the main Dutch archaeological institute.

Fave food: Mexican (Tex-Mex is alright, but the purer Mexican the better): best food ever is tacos with chili and cheese. Shrimp and crab food share first place. Fascinating info, isn't it?

Fave Band/Artist: Echo & the Bunnymen have been the best band in the world ever since they began. Joseph Arthur shares the 'best solo artist' spot with David Sylvian, E&TB's Ian McCulloch's solo outings and Bryan Ferry. Roxy Music and Joy Division are two of my most favorite bands, and over the past years I've been heavily getting into prog-rock (Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Genesis) as well.
I also have a myspace page that shows a full list: http://www.myspace.com/21861288

Fave albums:
Echo & the Bunnymen - Ocean Rain
David Sylvian - Gone To Earth
JA - Come To Where I'm From
Roxy Music - Stranded
Joy Division - Closer

Dream/Goal:
Seeing JA for once!
Finding a copy of the In The Sun single (and maybe Cut & Blind) to complete my collection!
But really, my one goal is living together with my girlfriend forever.
