I don't get the connection to SF/F. Or is it just stuff you like?
i thought this would be the sub-forum area where we can talk about anything book/non-book related.i'm still quite new to this group, so i could be wrong.
I was just a little bored and decided to make a thread about some of the music i enjoy :)
That's cool. I'm a huge music fan, too. I just figured it would be more specific.I should make a targeted thread....
feel free to show everyone what music you like in here if you want... let's keep this going! :) I love to discover new music.
