I am big fan of music. I love to listen to everything. Basically from classic music through pop, rock, beyond even death metal and industrial electronic. However recently I am rediscovering music. During my listening time I have skipped classics of rock (progressive, psychedelic, kraut) because when this music started to emerge I was not yet even crawling using my own hands and legs. When I was capable enough to start understanding music, it was the boom of New Romantic, Metal, Punk and beginning of typical 80's Pop. Those sounds defined my perception of music for years to be later accompanied by Electronic, Trance and even Rap and R&B. That was lasting long. Recently I am rediscovering Rock of late 60's and 70's. I must admit I am stunned with the quality of music which puts in a shame all current releases of any kind that sound exactly the same. Music of 21st century I could easily define as "I am producer and I will use my dynamic sound compression to make all songs sound the same because people like wall of noise". Thats actually true. Todays music is plain mainstream and what is worse, it is hard to distinguish which band actually played that song. There are exceptions and there are obviously very good musicians, but sound engineering is at it's lowest.

In next days I will try to go through my musical rediscoveries and my goal is to have an archive of biographies and discographies of those famous bands. There is so much to listen to...

Welcome to the Casual Sight!

Today (February 11, 2008) I have finally decided to launch a website that will contain some views on the things I currently do or I will do in the future. In general it should be about programming, music, photography and many other things that I am busy with.

I have decided to go for Joomla as the site management system. We will see how it goes. For now, I have already found out that  Joomla can do great things and probably everything I want. At the beginning it was very hard to understand this fantastic piece of software but I am getting used to. I hope that in a few days the website will start looking better.
