Introduce Yourselves!

If I had a time machine, I'd travel back to when SST Records was still a going concern and buy up the entire catalogue (even the crap stuff).

I bought most of this stuff at the time. Wouldn't recommend it.

I remember a SWA cassette as being particularly not worth my $7.

What grindcore do you like, man?

I started with early Napalm Death, but moved onto Nasum after a guy I used to work with (a drummer in a grind band, incidentally) leant me 'Human 2.0'. After that, there was Carcass, AxCx, Agoraphobic Nosebleed/Pig Destroyer, Discordance Axis, Rotten Sound, etc. I dig some powerviolence stuff too (I picked up a few Slap-A-Ham discs when the label was liquidating). But goregrind isn't my thing (early Carcass excepted).

hang on, how many Irish people are there on here?

Me, and?

there's a lot more

I'm sure there are. We're everywhere.

hi all, i'm messiah wannabe. i'm an american living in indonesia, where i have a band, soulflip (we have a website, soulflip.com, go figure) we mix traditional indonesian classical music and dance with electronic/dj stuff. i actually get paid to do this, which i am perhaps overly proud of. i'm also curently producing an album with an indonesian rapper - he's already signed to a national label, so if things go well i may finally realize my lifelong dream of becoming an asian pop star. wish me luck.

i mostly like the kind of rap you hear on the radio, electro and minimal house, and the beatles. but i used to listen to all kinds of stuff, and now that i have a decent interweb connection i intend to start listening to all kinds of stuff once again.

ps. "I'm 33, and I grew up listening to punk and hardcore. In 1989, at 15, I started booking bands and running a fanzine in CT (Fun With Cows). I booked Neurosis, Green Day, Born Against, Nation of Ulysses"

the former bass player for nation of ulysses lives in bali now, where he works as a dj specializing in disco and classic house tunes. he's quite good!

This is all very interesting! We must clearly make Indonesia the next nexus point for ILX conquest of the world. Or something.

d'you ever play in jakarta?

"This is all very interesting! We must clearly make Indonesia the next nexus point for ILX conquest of the world. Or something."

indonesia's bountiful natural resources (read: good surf, asian chicks) make it a natural target, general.

"d'you ever play in jakarta?"

every once in a while (ok, three times last year, for the first time since we moved to indonesia) i should actually be going there next week to meet with the record company, hopefully. why, you live round there?

i do not, but my best friend and his wife do and would probably be interested in seeing you

cool :)

i wont be playing with my band this time, but feel free to pass on our url...

they could always come see us in bali, jakarta people seem to come here with alarming frequency.

welcome! here are some username threads as mentioned earlier, if you ever need to control-f somebody:

OK so uh this is where you explain to us who you actually are because yr new username is a little cryptic

ILX2 NEW USERNAME TRANSLATOR COMPENDIUM

well, you're not on either thread apparently, so i'll just have to call you sleeve.

thanks sleeve!

you know the funny thing about those threads is that all the regulars are confused as well. or lying. they do have some useful info, though.

i don't thinks that's really the funny thing about those threads

hang on, how many Irish people are there on here?

Word. Never pay more than 1.99 for a Super Wurry Animals cassette!

hello

hey, i'm kevin. i'm 19, probably a lot younger than most of you from what i've gathered. pre-pharmacy student at the university of connecticut, and music lover (guess this is the place to be, huh?). favorite bands recently include deerhunter, of montreal, radiohead, et al. favorite band ever is the pavement/malkmus career, dude's my hero. anyway, i like pretty much everything but rap and country [hopefully this'll be the last time pointing out sarcasm is necessary, get used to it ;)]. i like this place so far because people generally know what theyre talking about or at least care enough to make even the dumbest argument convincing.

anyway, i like pretty much everything but rap and country

^^^A+

Hi Kevin. But you're so gonna get picked on for that rap and country comment! (that actual topic has been discussed a lot this evening on a couple of threads.)
