It's not the kind of music I've got the rest to do without being
completely stoned, but my alter ego "scorpion-mouse, spiny mouse" has
fun listening to it and right now I'm not stoned. I prefer e.g. Arnold
Schönberg, for old school, but his music is absolutely perfect regarding
to what music is all about. I prefer to listen to more restless
musicians, because I'm a borderline personality, anyway, his music is
quiet cool :). So! I fear he knows what he's talking about ;).
