A very goodday to all of you from the land with export-products like tulips, wooden shoes & Ayreon! Well, this is about introducing me, so I'll just begin. The reason for registering here is that I never even knew about this site (whoops!), and this is exactly what I need to start to listen more prog! See you all around! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/manmadegod/?chartstyle=ScarlettJohansson1">

Thanks guys! Can't say I've figured it all out yet... it's pretty big, when I compare it to other forums I'm subscribed to. Maybe I'll just stick to this one! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/manmadegod/?chartstyle=ScarlettJohansson1">

| Welcome, fellow Dutchman, I hope you like the interview I did with Ayreon, I published it a month ago on this site. If you need advise, let me know, I love to give recommendations because when I started to know more about progrock I was pleased myself with some help. |

I must tell you that I haven't had the opportunity yet to read the interview, but the interview was the reason for me for registering, because I stumbled upon it, and 'discovered' the forum  And don't mind if I actually do ask for your advise! Thanks for the kind words! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/manmadegod/?chartstyle=ScarlettJohansson1">

Don't tell me you want to because of all the softdrugs we got here.... ('cause we've got loads of other stuff: harddrugs, special suburbs with a prostitute for everyone  etc. etc.)------------- http://www.last.fm/user/manmadegod/?chartstyle=ScarlettJohansson1">

It's more than that. Everything I've heard about The Netherlands strikes me as very enlightened. Your cultural (even government subsidized) appreciation of the arts , your accomodation and willingness to do commerce, the overarching preference of reason over religous fundamentalism... I could go on and on. I'm sure it's got its problems like any other country, but I'd love to experience it for myself. |

Well, I can only imagine how you think of our country. We ofcourse think of it as absolutely normal, and we just start bitching when the government buys a culturally interesting painting of about 35 million euro's. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/manmadegod/?chartstyle=ScarlettJohansson1">

Yeah, I'm sure I'm romanticizing somewhat about how things are over there. Looking at things through "tulip-colored glasses", if you will. It's always good sport to bitch about your government, that's what government is for, isn't it?  |

Exactly. And please take note of the fact I'm colourblind, so somewhat prejudiced ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/manmadegod/?chartstyle=ScarlettJohansson1">
