[edit] Intro

Hey, I'm Zouavman Le Zouave! I live in Morocco, and I am the guitarist/singer for the Casablanca-based band Bassilik as well as a proud Wikipedian! If you have anything to tell me, my talk page is there for this purpose. I am often online from 17:00 to 21:00 (GMT) during week days and starting at 12:00 in the weekend. I might also be online between 10:05 and 10:55 on week days. I appreciate good music such as Avant Garde Metal, Grunge, Classical music, and diverse genres of Rock and Metal. I despise most mallcore bands such as Disturbed, Slipknot, and System of a Down. I also abhor Marilyn Manson, most of the "culture" that is linked to him, and pseudo-rock and pseudo-metal in general. As of December 12, 2006, I have made 306 edits on the Wikipedia Mainspace as well as 528 edits total. Z.L.Z.'s Edit Count I am particularly proud of my work on the AqME and Aarni articles, primarly because I have created them, but also because I think they make a good overview of the bands. I have also done many edits on the List of bass guitarists. I have two subpages to my profile, one of which is my band's page, and the other being my "work in progress" page, where I can prepare an article at my pace. I am also working on the Ido version of Wikipedia: Here and Here!

[edit] Music

Music is like essential in my life. I cannot live without music... If I have no music around me, I have about two or three songs stuck in my head (and they do not play harmoniously). Working around music enables me to have one (and only one) song playing in my head, and this helps me to concentrate better. Generally, when I am writing/editing a Wikipedia article, I will be listening to music. Here are my musical tastes... ^^

[edit] Musical influences

Here are a couple of bands and artists that I appreciate:

[edit] On the other side...

...here are the stuff I despise, and they don't deserve to be capitalized:

[edit] Other tastes

I love Tintin comic books! My favorite is by far Flight 714. I read them in their original version, in French. I have the whole collection in my library. I'm also a great fan of Karaboudjan, one of Dan Swanö's side projects, whose primary theme is Tintin.

Although I have only read one of his comic books, I am a great fan of Enki Bilal. Not only is the story captivating, but the art is amazing!

I am a great Nintendo fan! I'm not a video game freak, but I am very much into The Legend of Zelda and Metroid Prime. I'm pretty much looking forward to the release of the new Zelda game and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

I am very interested by science-fiction and H.P. Lovecraft's stories. Steganography and Cryptography thrill me! I often make up new alphabets, inspired from the Futhark or other ancient runes. I like to draw, even though I don't have any particular drawing talent. I often like to hide messages in the songs I write (in the chord sequences, in the rhythms, in the general structure).
