Seriously.

I've grown a bit tired of my clique and would like to find some people with similar interests.

I'm primarily interested in checking out live music (jazz, punk, rock).
I'm also a sax player and am interested in experimental and electronic music (not techno). I'd love to start some music projects. I'm big on anything artsy. Simply going out for some drinks is cool too.

I had a visitor for the last week and it opened me up to going out during the week. The first couple months I just felt too tired to go out after work, but now I realize that I can do it and still be productive at work. If anything it's better because I look forward to what I'll do at the end of the day rather than what I'll do on the weekend and things have run smoother.

So that's my deal. Any takers?

Hey Dude:

I think we would really click. I'm into Mac Bolan novels, overweight
Austrian girls and making head cheese. Why don't you PM me and
we can hook up.

Cohiba...

I know you were making a joke...but it is actually hard to find people who have ever read Mack Bolan books...I used to read them as my father would bring them back from his trips. They were his airplance books...read them from 1-170 something....ah those were the days...

It's basically just the people I work with and a couple of peripheral Korean friends. I'm just interested in meeting some new people I wouldn't meet otherwise.

Very funny Cohiba. I realize this is cheesy so snarkiness is expected, and I'm planning to go out on my own to find what I'm looking for, but I thought this resource might be useful for something.

I like experimental music too. I'd like to jam with you, but it would be some hassle moving my bass stuff back and forth. I'm sure some people are going to want to hang.

Nah, it's not that cheesy, but I hate Jazz and don't even want to know what experimental music is. I'm guessing they keep making noise until it sounds like something that resembles music?

That's pretty close to it. Music can be regarded in many, many forms. Each form developed either with or against previous forms. In the beginning there were only the forms of nature. The goal is to get away from a precribed form and make a music that no one has made before. The results can sometimes be alarming, potentially violent even. Most of it is broken music. Sometimes a thread comes loose and a new sound is uncovered. Years later, the stuff seems tame and conventional.

the same is true with literature. hemmingway was some radical stuff back in 1921, now everyone writes that way.

Experimental music is kinda like how Jazz might have been in the 1910s. Or rock in the 1950s. It's basically new stuff that is being experimented with to see if we can actually call it music. Maybe it hasn't been classified into a genre yet. Thanks to experimenting with instruments, we've generated countless genres.

Well if you're interested in punk music you should go to Skunk Hell. Quite a few foreigners meet there, and they're generally all cool people, for music, drinking, and worship of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Are there any shows there during the week? On the skunklabel site I can only see a flyer for the show from this past saturday. Looks like the best way to get there is by Sangsu subway stop. Is that right?
