Introduce Yourselves!

thanks for the warm welcomes guys

Hello again

Welcome to ILX.

On one hand I feel I should actually introduced myself properly If I spend as much time here as I do, on the other I don't think I want people to know who I am.

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.

new ilx banner! (not joking)

welcome folks

haha, i'd be honored

back among the (nondescript) living

please contribute to the 'songs about bloating babies in the wind' thread

I am the Reverend Tedward Q. Porktanker. I am the "editor" of Riced Out Yugo -- http://www.ricedoutyugo.com. Well, as much as anyone is. For me, words are essentially what replaced Legos when I moved on. That and computer programming (my day job) as well as music (my night job). I've been writing electronic music for a decade or so, but I don't promote it. I challenge you to find my music web site. Bet you can't.

SASSY is a SILLY WORD.

Hello all. I joined ILM about a month ago and haven't posted too much, but have become quite obsessed with poring over the threads. My underemployment probably helps (I teach kids part time). I'm 24 and still have a year before I finish my BA (Spanish and Journalism). I've lived in Northern California my whole life except for 11 recent months that I lived in Spain, studying and teaching English. I wish I had gotten more into Spanish music but honestly not much of it interested me. I do think Paco de Lucía is possibly the greatest guitarist in the world, though. My favorite album of all time is a tie between the White Album, Illmatic, and the Velvet Underground and Nico. Other music I've gotten obsessed with recently includes Caetano Veloso, Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective, Serge Gainsbourg, and Erykah Badu. I usually listen to hip hop/R&B radio in the car and Daft Punk and Young Jeezy when I go running. I played bass in a band in high school whose primary influences were NOFX and Screeching Weasel. Since then I've messed around on and off on the guitar, but I'm really quite horrible at it. I'd like to DJ though it seems like too expensive a hobby for a broke undergrad such as myself, but I've recently begun buying cheap records despite not owning a turntable. Ladies...?

willkommen!

Kind of like my housemate who has three massive bookcases full of novels he hasn't read.

Oh I know that feeling. And welcome all.

HI DERE

I think I'll send these doctor bills to Whitey on the Moon

Welcome!! Whitey on The Moon we will have much to discuss

Still not sure why Ms. Houston is into space travel anyhow.

Welcome!

Oh, and an update on my own situation: I'm teaching English in Korea now. Still basically a bum.

Hi, I sniff glue here as well.

haha all entries should end w/ "Ladies...?"

black metal and ecstacy, etc.

Jimmy. White male. Likes a good time.

pix?

Hi, I'm new here too. British but living in Vienna, Austria. I do a bit of music writing and blogging in my spare time, and hang out on the Guardian music blog probably more than is healthy. So I kind of like the fact that there seems to be a slight music journo slant to this board.

what happened to Old Fart!!!?

oh and Im in New Haven CT now.. no longer Detroit (or B-more before that).

I'll make a note of it.

now I can rest easy

Hello. I recently broke through the lurker wall so I thought I'd introduce myself. In my late 20s, live in Baltimore with my wife, in a state of career flux. ILM makes me laugh, makes me think, and can also annoy the shit outta me. Looking forward to to posting more.

hello 'ello

Welcome indeed.

Longtime lurker, recent registrar.

Call me Slim. I live on Florida's gulf coast (the part that didn't get hit by the BP spill, thankyouverymuch), age 41 now, married, one child, another on the way. By day, a lawyer. By night, a bassist/backup singer in a covers band. I think I have a greater fondness for novelty songs and showtunes than the typical ILMer.

Eh, you'd be surprised on the showtunes part. (Novelty tunes, that depends...)

Novelty tunes? Slim, what do you think of Jedward?

Too novel for me - haven't heard 'em. I'm thinking about tunes that were "novelties" in their time, but are now just artifacts.

Which is another way of saying: I listened to Dr. Demento a LOT during the '80s and '90s.

Sup.

The name's Shasta.

And I'm out.

SHASTA OUT

Hi!

I've been lurking and occasionally posting since 2006 (!), but I never introduced myself. Now that I have a new job with a computer and a lot of free time, I've been spending a good portion of my waking hours reading ILX. One of these days I'm going to remember to write my login info down and bring it to work with me, so it seemed like a good time to say hello!

Anyway, I'm 30 and I live in Pennsylvania. I like Neil Young, Luis Buñuel, and Ross Macdonald. I have a wife and 2 cats. See you around!!!

walcome

hey! welcome!

I have a wife and 2 cats.

My first pass at this, I read "I have 2 wives and a cat."

Only found this place fairly recently... dig it SO much.
Me? I'm 41... I oversee the (steadily shrinking) music and movies purchasing department for a venerable left-of-center music/movies/clothes/thisnthat chain in New England (Boston is home). Play in a few bands. Uncommonly fond of Zillionaire-era ABC.

Cheers!

wonder what the average age of ILXORs is now.
