About Me
- About chinesekiwi
- Location
- Christchurch, New Zealand
- Interests
- Video Games, Computers, Headphones & Head-fi! Knowledge finding.
- Music Preferences
- Everything really tbh. To restrict yourself to one genres = silly and to judge music on stereotypes = silly also. Both results in you missing out on great music due to misconceptions.
- Interests (non-headphone)
- Computers, Documentaries, Sport, Gaming.
Docos to watch that aren't your pro-US military or your BS run-of-the-mill conspiracy doco:
The War of The World (the full 6-episode version, not the censored US 3 episode version)
Any doco by Adam Curtis
