Placing background music into a website is so so.. 5-10 years ago..? But if you feel everyone would love the music you love and wouldn't mind listening while reading your content, then it's your choice.
yes. those were the days where using IE and embedding midi files on it makes a page looks uber cool.
nowadays you'd better make sure your loops have a STOP function or else most people will reach and turn away once the figured out they can't off it.
yeah i know there's the VOLUME button, but it's really damn annoying. why should i turn off my volume just to view your website?

and what if i was listening to my fav MP3 files and reaching your site it's just mixing up all the sound and arrgggh - i have to stop my listening to view your site - NO WAY.

so there ya have it. you've come by another part of web-design - put viewers into consideration.
embedding music files could make or break a site. really.
if you wish to do it. maybe have a few tunes (relaxing ones, techno just doesn't seem right

) or even if you wish to have only 1 tune - always remember the OFF button.
don't force the user to listen to what you place on the site. again if you bring in 'volume control' to counter this, please read the above again.

why should a user go through all the hassle and sacrifice his activity just to view your site. right?
btw if you do have music embedded, do show us how it looks like so we could help you make a better site.
oh, and your site. the 2 banners on top are just too big. i'm viewing at 1024x768 and once i enter your site all i see are banners and i have to scroll down to see something.
at present, your site looks more like something that's done on a single HTML file rather than a blog engine. anyway, keep it up.
