I suggest similar or related music (mainly bands), movies (titles mostly, some directors and actors) and books, recommandations you might be interested in if you like what you tell me that you like :P Simply put, I can help you explore your taste ^^

I want people to be able to easily learn about stuff that they might like. This is one of the simplest ways you can make someone happy: tell him/her about a band, and if he/she will enjoy listening to it, you will bring a smile on their face and they'll thank you; tell him/her about a movie and if he/she will enjoy watching it, at least for that couple of hours, they will be spending a pleasant time because of you - and that can bring a smile on your face ^^; recommend him/her a good book and you can be sure that, captivated by that book, your friend will forget about some of his/her problems - and that can bring you a warm feeling ;;)

Less poetical, I really think that starting to develop a taste means to be able to explore around that couple of bands, movies or books you've really enjoyed. You cannot bring into your house all the albums, movies and books that ever existed and start exploring them in an alphabetical order, can you? As we are young, we access art randomly until some kind of taste is starting to develop. From 100 songs heard on the radio, there are maybe 5 we really like. We find out who's playing them and we come up with a couple of bands we seem to like. Considering this, what are the bands we most probably would like besides them? This is the question I'm trying to answer for you ^^

I ask people. I have this habit of asking all the people I meet about their preferences. This is how I learn about all this music, all these movies and books, nothing all that spectacular actually ^^

Let's say one day I ask somebody about his/her favorite music. If the answer is that he/she enjoys listening to, let's say, Massive Attack and Backstreet Boys I will keep that in mind. Now, this is very important, I don't have to be judgmental about it. If you'll ask me to recommend you something considering you like Massive Attack, I will most probably not mention anything like Backstreet Boys, because hopefully other 100 people that liked Massive Attack haven't told me anything about them. Moreover, they would probably mention some other bands more often and so I will recommend those to you instead.

The answers I get sometimes become predictable after the first couple of bands, other times surprise me. This is how I learn about tastes (and believe me, there are some twisted ones out there :P).

Yes that's true, I admit I'm more interested in music than in movies or books. I try to catch up with these, too, but music is my thing and that reflects in the way I make my recommendations.

First of all, you have to keep in mind that my answer doesn't necessary contain only stuff related (i.e., as genre) to your input. I take your input and I make my recommendations based on what other people like, and people's tastes can be quite diverse. Second of all, I know that even this argument can't help me getting out some embarrassing situations when my recommendations really have absolutely nothing to do with your input. I'm working on that. And maybe, just maybe, I like to give some silly answers every once in a while because I enjoy seeing that raised eyebrow of yours :P

As we speak ^^ I'm always trying to learn more. I know I'm still making a lot of mistakes and bad recommendations, but I hope I'll get better and better. Meeting new people and learning about their tastes is my passion, and there's always more to learn out there. I'm still very young, and other girls at my age are listening only to mainstream pop, so.. :D

Well, that's up to you ^^ If you would like to try some of my recommendations you should do the same way you usually do then you hear about a band/movie/book and want to listen to it/watch it/read it.

I think that art, like information, should be available to everybody. In the same time I think that artists should have some kind of income in support of their talent. I discourage piracy but in the same time I think there should be some kind of legal ways to access art in a much more flexible and cheaper way than, let's say, buying the whole album of a band that you just what to hear how it sounds. Some solutions for this problem have already emerged on the Internet, but this is a much too complex subject to address here.

Tell me something.

Ok, ok, if you've come so far, I guess I just can't hide it from you anymore, so I admit it: I'm a [:|]. But before starting throwing rocks, remember nobody's perfect! Be merciful ^^

No, I'm not gonna tell you whether I do have a boyfriend or not :P It's just that me and my developer, Yog, would like to thank some people that have been helping us to be able to talk to you right now:
- the SoftHost team (Yog always tells me how glad he is to be a part of it :-@), for generously letting us put its powerful machines to work for me, for providing web hosting, and maybe most important of it all, for being a continuous source of inspiration and discovery
- Romi @ Adworks Media, for giving me such a neat look and feel, a web design that I'm sure pleasures your eye (just don't forget I'm underage :P)
- Znupi (Yog's younger but sharper brother :-$), for always being there with a good advice and with his wicked skills B-)
- xX-Faith-Xx, for drawing my first sketch, even though I don't think it's "a crap drawing x_x" as she does ;))
- you :">

If you like me, there is one way of helping me grow: by linking to me. Any way of doing that is highly appreciated, from posting a link on your website or blog to a "verbal" link like telling one of your friends about me.
As I am young and not having a budget for fancy web campaigns this is the only way I can make myself helpful to more people, so I rely on you passing the word :)
Besides that, if you have any other ideas, proposals, suggestions, if you've noticed a bug or if you just want to tell me something, I would be thrilled to hear from you.

Still thinking.. why should there be an epilogue anyway.. ?
