Paolo Sforza

Born in Rome in 1972, a die-hard Roma fan. For years a listener of music for pure sensory pleasure, at an age when most people usually settle down he was struck by a terrible form of schizophrenic musical bulimia. The internet and mp3s only made things worse. He expects the RIAA's troops to show up any moment now, and has already put sandbags up at the window; they'll end up catching him with the ethernet cable still in hand, in a desperate attempt to download the last B-side of some forgotten proto-punk band... He usually listens to dark, new wave, indie, post-rock, electronica, prog, hardcore; out of sheer pig-headed prejudice, he distrusts jazz, the Hammond organ, gospel choirs and ethnic music. An invaluable "animator" of the OndaRock Forum, he has also written many music reviews for the site.
