This user enjoys indie rock.
voc-0 This person cannot sing in tune (or has very poor singing skills).

As for the more high brow arts. My favorite artists are Carel Willink, Giorgio de Chirico and Georges Braque. I don't like to read literature however, my favourite books include Character (Ferdinand Bordewijk), Nineteen Eighty-Four (George Orwell) and The Trial (Franz Kafka). Since I was twelve I've attend a local performance of the Mattheus Passion almost yearly.

I'm interested in architecture and applied arts, like design. I love art nouveau/jugendstil/modernisme and early 1900s architecture, especially the Nieuwe Zakelijkheid.

When it comes to music I enjoy alternative rock in all its forms. I like 1970s rock operas especially Jesus Christ Superstar. I've attended a few music festivals and own a range of CDs. My favourite directors include Tim Burton (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Sophia Coppola (The Virgin Suicides), Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) and Wes Anderson (Life Aquatic). I also loved the movies Gattaca and V for Vendetta .

Finally, mainly because there is no other section where this fits, when I have the time I like to play computer games like Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri; and fantasy games like Magic: the Gathering, D&D and World of Warcraft. I've also seen most Star Trek and I consider DS9 the best science fiction ever made, Firefly was the only potential successor of DS9, but was cancelled way to soon. I'm also mesmerized by Lost.

In the following table one can see what I consider the nine best songs ever made, with artists, albums and some additional information.
