Hello to everyone newer and older than me.

Sociological aside: lots of dudes with shirts like this at their show:

Hi, Doctor Matt!

Thanks fer the warm welcome, folks. 'Specially you, Tom; i didn't know iff'n i was remembered from the halcyon days of alt.music.alternative or not.

-Matt, passin' out three dolla bills to y'alls...

HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO
HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO
LOVE AND KISSES CHALES

Hello there.

dunno how new i am - in fact, i have no idea how long i've been here - how about people say hi and then reference something someone they think is new has said, just to show them their presence has been felt in some way.

oh my god that sounds tragic. no, forget it.

hello everyone! (Kate, this is all your fault. you've led me down the path to SATAN, and i'm prolly gonna get fired for not doing any work as a result. HAPPY? (I'll mix Way Too Special into Sunglasses At Night of you're not careful...)

I'm new. I'm 21 years old from Los Angeles. My friend Vic convinced me to join this group. I like the Beatles and Rilo Kiley, and lately I have been getting into Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire a lot. Neko Case's new record is also very nice. The Blow Monkeys and Slowreader are on my wishlist but I am too broke from one too many trips to Amoeba Music, the bane of my financial stability. Oh, and I like songwriting and am in a band, perpetually trapped in the "preparation" phase due to the time-consuming lifestyle I lead as a film student. I don't know if I'm any good but my friends say they dig it, so I guess that's something. Nice to meet you.

-Devin

Devin, I hear you on the pain of going to Amoeba and losing all your money. This is why I limit myself whenever possible to only the very occasional visit.

(talking heads tribute here)

"I'd be honoured!"

Oh, hi everyone. Not sure what the intent was behind this thread.

I like Ned's characteristically understated "Yay!"

btw I'm relatively new 'round here and now consider myself to have been roundly welcomed...

I'm from Austin, TX and I like to meet other music nerds. Especially for outings. Last good show I saw was Do Make Say Think & Broken Social Scene at Stubbs, next good one will be Charalambides this weds at Emo's.

I have narrow, bad taste in music that makes me gravitate towards anything slow and pretty and above all boring. For example, I've been googling for threads on my favorite bands here on ilx, and so far I've seen Akron/Family, Savath & Savalas, Fursaxa, Sunn O))), Tortoise, and Windsor for the Derby all described as boring. So that seems to be the common adjective for stuff I like the most.

I like to travel here and there to music happenings when I can and was at Terrastock 6, Arthurfest and ArthurNights, and obviously SXSW. This is how I met Ned Raggett and discovered the existence of this neat little enclave.

I'm also a KZSU alumn and a techie.

1. Scientist and Prince Jammy -- "Round One" (from "Big Showdown" album)
2. The Fall -- "Pay Your Rates"
3. Fela Kuti -- "Observation Is No Crime"
4. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds -- "All Tomorrow's Parties"
5. El-P, Ghostface, & Prefuse 73 -- "Hideyaface"
6. The Homosexuals -- "Victoria Falls"
7. Theoretical Girls -- "Europe Man"
8. TI -- "Rubberband Man"
9. Nation of Ulysses -- "Diptheria"
10. The Fall -- "Fit and Working Again"

I am a big enough Fall fan that they often show up more than once in any given shuffle of ten songs, apparently.

okay.
