No it doesn't reflect any of that. I would be hard pressed to express 
dance, poetry, romance, sex and rock and roll in a logo, anyway.

The logo is meant to express that it's about APPLICATIONS. A pretty 
generic concept. With a waveform in the background, I don't consider 
it important to express sound in the logo too.
 
Also the logo doesn't stand for linuxaudio, it stands for this particular 
sub-site, emphasizing the one specific thing about it: apps.
This site is all about organisation, categorisation. Thus I'm fine if 
the logo has a touch of 'office'.
