The main purpose of this guild is to discuss music, focusing on (but not limited to) electronica, lounge, chillout, triphop, rap, bossa nova, jazz, acid jazz, soul, punk, noise, classical, dance, folk, shibuya kei, groove, experimental, cultural/traditional, indie pop, indie rock, metal, and of course, pop and rock. Pop and rock music discussion will be to a lesser extent since there are other guilds dedicated to those genres. However, we do not wish to alienate other types of genres and other countries, so if you have a topic you would like to discuss, please ask within our questions/suggestions thread.

So if you enjoy music from acts such as Polysics, Melt-Banana, Belle & Sebastian, Mondo Grosso, DJ Krush, m-flo, Merzbow, Acid Mothers Temple, Pizzicato Five, Cornelius, Towa Tei, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Sunaga T Experience, Mirah, Calm, Daft Punk, Monday Michiru, Shiina Ringo, OOIOO, Joy Division, Yo Yo Ma, Susumu Yokota, 54 Nude Honeys, The Pipettes, Yoko Kanno, Cibo Matto, Peelander-Z, Boredoms, The Magnetic Fields, Guitar Wolf, The Flaming Lips, Dorlis, Chara, Cube Juice, Farida's Cafe, Drunken Tiger, DJ Shadow, Massive Attack, New Order, Tricky, Portishead, acidman, Sugar Plant .... we would LOVE to have you!

Have no idea who we're talking about but are interested enough to learn? Register to join. We're harmless. Well... most of us.

We are not only a music guild. We promote intelligent discussion regarding Asian pop culture and traditional culture. Feel free to discuss the latest trends in fashion and entertainment or just music in general.

This guild would not be possible without the help of <b>bryan smasher</b>/<b>sarah smasher</b>, <b>Nalfein</b>, and <b>xcynicaljoyx</b>! Thank you for your donations! soundLOUNGE is based off of the Yahoo! mailing list group soundlounge.
