[linux-audio-user] recommended music

[Pasi Karppinen]

I like many, many styles of music. From blues to rockabilly, from pop to
modern rock'n'roll, from jazz to classical music. From inexperienced
indie artists to veteran artists who master their instruments. 

You just got to have a feel in it and I'll like it. To me it's not about
the ability to play the instrument perfectly or fast - you can have a
lot of emotion and feel in it even if you're an average player. It's got
to come from soul.

Favourite artists: Elvis, The Beatles, U2, Oasis, Depeche Mode, Bruce
Springsteen, Brian Setzer.
