Hello everyone.
You can call me Desqui, or DS, or DQ, it doesn't matter.
I've known about this forum for a long time and maybe have even signed up for it a long time ago with a now-defunct/lost password email address. It seems to be quite active so I decided to sign up with a username instead of roaming as a guest. Hmm.. I might try an old username to see if it works.
I am not new to Japanese music forums, but currently I can't say I am into anyone at the moment. I've only recently taken out my CD collection and one song on a burned CD labeled ~Random Indies~ stood out to me. It was Lab. the basement's "Wheel of Fortune". So after looking them up, finding the lyrics, trying to find CDs to buy (the album I want is nowhere, of course, but crazy expensive HMV has a maxi-single I could be satisfied with), I remembered audioleaf and that lead me to the J-indies thread here.
I log into Scapeforums from time to time, but don't really post.
Anyways, my taste usually does not roll over into pop music, but at this point I'm probably evaluating sounds on an mp3 by mp3 basis than by genre type. I am hoping to restart my quest for new music. As a time reference, I think I gave up once Gazette got popular, but even by then my taste had changed so that for me to call myself only a visual kei fan would not be the whole truth. I feel old, unknowledgeable, and old.
As a sound reference, I like both of these:
UnsraW - In the fact
Fishmans-土曜日の夜
Don't tell anyone. It's a secret. When it sounds like someone is seriously curious as to what kind of music I like, I give them tracks from Dir-bandthatmustnotbenamed. I don't know why I dislike sharing the real treasure I find with anyone. I want them to myself. I am selfish like that now. Maybe it's because my collection isn't growing or I don't know how to describe my taste or I don't want them to like it too or something.
I am getting better though, at sharing.
Nice to meet you all.
