Introduce Yourselves!

..and just so other IL*'ers won't give me grief about it. Yes... the goatee is now gone.

I've made a few contributions in the last couple of months but only just discovered this thread. I'm 30 years old and living in Amsterdam. Happily married since last May. I am what's possibly called a contributing editor at OOR, which is a bimonthly music magazine here in the Netherlands. I cover mainly hip-hop and dance music. My other job (I have two) is doing a weekly two-hour radio show on VPRO Radio 3FM late on Saturday nights. It's called Elementaal and I'm very proud of it. It is archived in Real Audio here. If you look around on the site, you'll see I also do three different, weekly one-hour internet-only shows.

im boring. and i make mix tapes. A picture of little ol me question the existential nature of life. ~chameleon

oh yah. im 18 and a painter/photographer, and i love cats. hemingway, london, yolen, piers anthony, old mccaffery, and eliot rock my world.

38, SWF from Brooklyn, now living in Hoboken NJ. Grew up reading NME, listening to punk/post-punk stuff, going to clubs Hurrah, Mudd Club, Peppermint Lounge, the Ritz. I read and enjoy ILM and ILE everyday! St. Etienne, Teenage Fanclub and the Kinks I've liked the most for the longest stretch of time. Recent listening: Le Tigre, Clinic, Tuesday Weld, King Tubby, John Cooper Clarke, Goldfrapp, Francoise Hardy, Mary J. Recent reading: Sarah by J.T. LeRoy.

Wow, Lesley. Let me know if you ever want to go to a show in the city. We could get Arthur to come!

Unfortunately, Tracer, I live in Los Angeles. But I hope to be back in NYC for good next summer. And I'd love to tag along--sounds like Lesley and I have a lot in common. Isn't Sarah great?

Tracer- There's great stuff at the Knitting Factory soon, and Ludacris at S.O.B.'s! I saw him last winter, he was fun.

Arthur-I love Sarah's solo work as well as St. Etienne. Hope to meet you when you get back to NYC

I'm 27, about to start on masters program, FL International Univ, Miami, FL. I like pretty much everything....as long as you don't bother me with a lot of stupid show-off rap like Jay-Z. I'm mostly into dance music, though I still proudly display everything I was into in years past. but now.....right off the top of my head I'm spinning: Orbital, New Order, Placebo, Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Deep Dish, Danny Howells, Steve Lawler, or any other Global Underground DJ......along with a lot of other stuff I can't be bothered to list right now

I suppose, given that I've posted a bit, that I should contribute to this thread:

Charles, 19, Sydney, Australia. Media student (wanker). Longtime lurker. Comm. radio host (2ser.com; Osmosis). Occasional writer. Bands: fixation with Austin (Bedhead, American Analog Set, Super XX Man, Trail of Dead). Usual indie blah (twee as well). Destiny's Child. Auselectronica (Pilfernators, Bloody Fist label). People Under The Stairs. I heart Freaky Trigger, and the boards; they've changed how I listen to music...

Interesting selection of bands, Charles. I'm intrigued to know what you think of ILM Listening Chamber No.10

Oh, me? Jeff. 36. Currently living and working in Brussels, Belgium, but originally from England (London/Home Counties). Found IL* through Ned and Brian's advertising it on a Stereolab e-mail list to which I belong. So it's all their fault.

What I like:

"Classical" - JS Bach motets, Beethoven late string quartets and Symphony No.9, Schubert songs and late works, Tchaikovsky orchestral works, Debussy piano préludes, Bartok "Music For Strings Percussion and Celeste", Shostakovich symphonies, Herbert Howells church music, most any Berio, Feldman, George Crumb or Steve Reich

"Popular" - among my faves are records by Throwing Muses, Bernie Green and his orchestra, Public Enemy, A Certain Ratio, Orbital, Yes, Saint Etienne, Aphex Twin, Sister Sledge, The Waitresses, Beach Boys, Talking Heads, Marvin Gaye, Huggy Bear, Marumari, Kate Bush, Low, France Gall, Pink Floyd and Scritti Politti.

Since I've been posting here and there lately, thought this was appropriate. Not sure how I came upon ILM .. possibly through Bitchpork, that unofficial, dark-mirror-reflection of the Pitchfork web-board .. but it has already enriched my workdays quite a bit. To find a place where music in general is treated seriously, rather than canonically or callously ... I feel at home.

my tastes evolve through the diurnal and seasonal cycles .. in the morning, on the way to work, I'll want something hushed like Songs: Ohia or Aixx Em Klemm .. in the afternoon, when the sun is bright, I want liveliness .. some John Coltrane or the Clash, some Miles Davis Quintet or Pavement, Led Zep or Jethro Tull .. in the evening, I need dark, lush sounds, preferably with deep bass or intricate electronic textures. Likewise, in the spring I find myself more in the mood for upbeat pop, in the summer -- aggressive rawk .. now that it's the fall I'm digging out my old Cure and Depeche Mode tapes for driving, the Smiths, Joy Division, etc ... and in the winter I expect to be listening to polarities, both minimalist ambient and experimental noize, romantic-period 'classical' and industrial/synthpop ..

like the forum, I love music. Unfortunately, I don't play any instruments, though I entertain this mild fantasy of buying a dual-cd mixer and DJ'ing indie/electronica dance tunes sometime in the future. But I do enjoy writing music reviews for a site you may have heard of, Pitchforkmedia.com. Otherwise, I'm 24 as of autumn 2001, and live in a little basement apartment in Takoma Park, Maryland, just outside of D.C. I work in the city just two blocks from the White House, and have been making great efforts to restrain my paranoia and avoid holding my breath as I walk the streets and commute from the metro cars. Moving here from Florida seemed like such a great idea, two years ago..

Other interests include film, literature, politics, foreign policy, liberalism, comic books, nightclubbing, video games, and attempts to reconcile the communitarian/lefty/activist/ascetic side of my nature with the decadent, narcissistic pleasure-seeking devil on my other shoulder. The devil wins, more often than not. Can't quite blame it on me being a Gemini.

If you live in the area, or just want to reply to some obnoxious thing I've said in the forums, don't hesitate to comment. I love meeting new people, conversations, writing, etc.

cheers. chris.

I am Lord Custos. You are not "cleared" to know more than that.

oh here it is. i should have posted here before but couldnt find it

ok i should be working on a take-home midterm...how am i always online here when i have work to do? so to make this short, i am 21 and am in los angeles enduring college but am not from here. i am a cliche since i am a "film student." i like lots of things but my favorites are tricky, (pre-2000)pj harvey and madonna. i am always reading music criticism of bands i have never heard in real life before, i really han't heard many of the things often talked about here. i am not an indie kid. i am into astrology. i know ally from before somewhere online, but i think she'll deny knowing me around here..

in other words, i am pretty pathetic, but i guess you figured that already.

i am uncircumcised

oh yeah, as if you couldn't tell, i am extremely isolated and my life reads like an unlyrical and chaotic textbook-picture -snapshot on alienation, i am totally clining to the last vestiges of hope at this moment and i am addicted to the internet even though it has perpetually let me down in its function as a "lifeline," ..

as if you "couldn't" tell, ha.

you record emo music, right?

A portable model of,

Well, then you certainly picked the right town to live in, Vic!

I don't know who is actually going to read through all these responses. I started, but even I am not that committed to wasting time online. However, I will still introduce myself, or my musical self.

I'm from the U.S. Grew up listening to what was on the radio and whatever records we had at home: mostly rock, R&B, soul, disco. Sesame Street songs. Church music. In 6th or 7th grade I dabbled with listening to jazz on the radio. Also around this (77/78) time I used to go to the rehearsals for a "punk" (using the word pretty loosely--some of what they covered was not punk at all, but they did play some Ramones and Clash songs, as well as early Elvis Costello "I'm Not Angry", but even that is stretching it) cover band whose leader was one of my brother's friends.

Around this time, my family moved and I discovered a college radio station I had never listened to before, and suddenly I was exposed to all sorts of music that was totally new to me: punk/new wave/industrial, reggae, free jazz, avant-garde/modern classical/experimental, electronic music, unfamiliar progressive bands (mostly European), traditional music from around the world, Medieval music, and perhaps a few things that don't fit into any of those categories. It was an education. (Around this time I was also very rapidly discovering modern poetry, something very exciting to me for several years after, but not, for the most part, something I enjoy currently.) The station became much less eclectic around 1990 (and I was listening to it less by then anyway), but by that point I already had been made aware of these sometimes invisible forms of music, so I knew what names to try to keep track of.

I was initially intrigued by acid house/techno (etc.) after becoming aware of it via Psychic TV around 1988. (I remember looking at a PTV disc with the words "Turn on/Tune in/The Acid House" with a friend, and both of us debating about whether it meant anything, and if so what.) Saw them eight times and don't regret it, although 99% of the recordings they released are crap. Psychic TV was kind of a 20's thing for me, and I am very ambivalent about how wrapped up I was in their work at the time. (Maybe I was really the victim of subliminal messages in their recordings?) I ended up becoming very turned off by most techno, and the various, related, mutating forms of electronic dance music (but I admit that there must be a lot of it I have not heard). Maybe if I had tried E, but I'm not interested in that now. (I have only one psychedelic experience to my credit, and it was not at a rave.) I also listened to a lot of hip-hop between 1988 and about 1992/93, but I got a bit tired of the homophobia, misogyny, anti-semitism, anti-white, pro-random-violence themes in much of the music. I still check in with it now and then, however.

Around 1993 I "discovered" Arabic music, which is not something I remember hearing on the radio (at least not the classically based popular music I have in mind). This has become some of my very music. I am thinking of individuals such as Oum Kalthoum, Riad el-Sonbatti (mostly known as a composer), Asmahan, Farid el Atrash, Fairouz, Said Mekawy, Mohammed Abdo, plus lesser lights such as Samira Tewfic, Milhem Barakat, Saleh Abdel Gafor, etc. I love this music for its expressiveness; its modal/microtonal approach; its complex rhythms; its often brilliant vocal technique; the color and texture of traditional instruments such as the oud, the ney, and the kanun; the emphasis on improvisation in much of it; and the fact that I can listen to the same piece repeatedly, but still hear something new.

And for the last four years I've been salsa dancing, with increasing seriousness (though I have been out for a while with a knee injury and am currently recovering from minor knee surgery), which has turned me on to salsa, and led me to discover some other Latin musical forms.

Listening to Arabic and Latin music intensively has altered my taste a lot, to the point where it's very hard for me to find new things closer to home, culturally speaking, that I really enjoy. I have more trouble making allowances for singers who can't sing, for one thing. I _have_ been listening to increasing amounts of Sun Ra over the past couple years, too, and he has gone from being just one eccentric artist I was aware of, to being one of my favorites.

I will never have enough money to buy all the CDs I want. Oum Kalthoum alone recorded hundreds of songs, many of them stretching out for a half hour to seventy-five minutes in live performances.

np: Kirsty MacColl "Tropical Brainstorm" (Nice bonus tracks only available on the U.S. release--ha!)

"Well, then you certainly picked the right town to live in, Vic! "

to be uncircumcised in? hehe LA is such a wasteland. how long have you been here?

no i don't record any music, except i'm so graceful when i walk that the angels look down below make music when they see me coming

i am bob and i'm new - Hi! i'm 29 i live in london and make peanuts co-managing a couple of guitar shops. you may notice my postings as either very vague (ie no point) or flippant or inflammatory (no, actually not inflammatory at all). i like annoying asthma inhaler style music of all styles & am eqully at home with art gallery sound installion up its own arse music as i am with cheese pop i still race home for Top Of The Pops on friday night. I have a nasty exzema problem at the moment. I like pokemon. I like W S Burroughs, Haruki Murakami, PK Dick, gore vidal, ben marcus, will self etc book wise. film wise - well i used to have a major david lynch fixation but these days i really don't think he cuts it when compared to power rangers lost galaxy return of the magna defender for instance. i have a musical appreciation history of (roughly chronological) elo, jeff wayne's war of the worlds, jean michel jarre & vangelis, level 42 (yes, sorry), metallica, various metal & uk / us punk & "hard core" , industrial goth/ metal,butthole surfers & sonic youth & big black etc, free jazz, techno, experimental shit & daphne & celeste. is it that simple? what else do you need to know???

My actual first name is Julia. I'm not admitting my age because I'm in a certain amount of denial, but every once I while I get carded buying alcohol. I'm a copyeditor and associate producer for music at the dot-com wing of a fairly well-known newspaper conglomerate.

Last CD acquired: The Dismemberment Plan, "Change" (but I'm underwhelmed with what I've heard so far). Favorite artists (active division): Firewater, Girls Against Boys, Mike Doughty. Favorites (RIP division): Afghan Whigs, Soul Coughing, Scarce, Jawbox, Long Fin Killie (rather disappointed with Bows). Rather curious about: Q and Not U, older D-Plan, the Standard. Loathe: nu-metal, female singers who are more about T&A and studio effects than vocal technique, bling-bling hip-hop. Suspect that bluegrass and alt-country and its offshoots are better than I'm willing to credit, but haven't taken the time to explore either.

I live in Washington, DC; I'm not attached and can't seem to attract any man's eye right now. Between this and people not following up to my posts in this and other forums, I sometimes wonder whether I really exist. If I truly have no existence outside of some fantasist's mind, I hope he or she enjoys my life a lot more than I do.

I was born somewhere in the lower right-hand corner of Michigan and have lived within that region since my birth in 1976. Apart from getting married in 2000, I have skillfully avoided most things. Occupationally, I divide my time between sorting things, correcting things, adding things, and making things up. I enjoy making things up so much that I occasionally do it in my spare time. The it in this case is Permafrost.

allmusic.com,hm

are you an amg writer ? who

Di Ray Mi,

I've wanted to listen to more arabic music. Where would you recommend starting and where are the best sources? I've found a couple of websites dealing with but they seem to be a bit more on the 'poppier side' than I might like.

Whoah. Even scarier that I relate immediately to what your saying...

Myself, I'm mainly a lurker, coming here to find recommendations for music that I can (in theory) download off of the net. I have gone through periods of my life when I spent waayy too much on music, and, can't realistically keep that up. I would love CD prices to drop. Listening to music either seems to consume my life or be in it very little at all. I'm in the latter stage at the moment, no music at work, no time at home, it's beginning to piss me off. To console myself I need I think of the thousands upon thousands of years we humans didn't have any recorded music at all. What would they have had to speak to people about on message boards?

I love these 'intro' things. So many people willing to offer up snippets of there lives, so trustingly...(that came off sounding slightly psychopathic for some reason) Myself, I'm a cartoonist, making a living working at an ISP in rural Ontario. Actually in the town that is "the most perfect example of suburban/rural community in Canada" (I still remember this from school.) Have a fantasy that I one day lose my sight and have to discover my hidden musical talent that I've been to lazy to cultivate for the last 29 years. Constantly aspire to the level of confidence and happiness I felt when I was 10. Have also had a disturbing ongoing 'fantasy' (or nightmare I guess) that our entire civilization is on the verge of being destroyed by some terrible disaster. I suspect this has something to do with sept 11th, but also suspect that it's a very real possiblity.

Currently listening to a mixed bag of stuff that I've downloaded, including Wire, Nina Simone, Jackie Wilson, Tim Buckley, Air, Rufus Wainwright and I actually quite enjoy the new Depeche Mode, which I downloaded for my sister. Favourite album? Maybe "Here My Dear" mainly for the first 5 minutes, which always, without fail, makes me cry. I think it's a deeply profound album. When I do I get a chance to put on music I often listen to Cosmic Slop online, which has just the right mix of funkiness, obscurity and wierdness on which I thrive.

Okay, enuf sharing.

having read every posting on this thread in one sitting, kicked offline 3 times in the process, I am the WINNER of internet time-wasting!

Male, first-year law student with art history degree(?), I worship music. been a musician for about 15 years and have managed to craft about 3-4 songs that are not complete shite. it's nice to see such a diversity of input on this board.

my music: Sloan, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Detroit Cobras, Afghan Whigs, Dag Nasty, the Make-Up, Curtis Mayfield, Big Star, Beth Orton, Beta Band, James Brown, Doves, St. Germain, Mellow, Sea and Cake, Miles, Ivy.

Most recent disc purchased: Sloan-Pretty Together (rocks) Most recently wished I hadn't purchased: Arab Strap-red thread (pap)

Found this board through Momus. Probably underqualified to converse with some of you existentialist-philosopher types but too impatient not to post. If anyone knows of a good online mixtape exchange please point me in the right direction--I thirst for undiscovered music with an unholy burning lust.

Living in London via most my life in Manchester.

Got too many Lou Barlow, Sonic youth, Ween and The Frogs records. I like Slayer and I like Lambchop.

I am excited by Boedekka, The Coral and the Moldy Peaches

Never really got into hip hop, but my first ever gig was LL Cool J... my second was The Macc Lads

hi, my name is todd burns and i run a website at http://www.o-h-j.com

i like nearly all kinds of music, but focus in on IDM, indie, and classical, for the most part.

feel free to email me if you're interested in writing music reviews for the website that i run, we're always "hiring" for volunteers.

hi, i like this forum a lot. music: i like a lot of sparkly disco, nu- dancehall, glitch dub, dirty south electro crunk funk, cyborg-soul, machine warrior pop, and raging speedhorn. this be the website that i co- author. peace.

HelenFordsdale: As most musicians, I steal from the best and then mix up those elements to come up with a strange derivative hybrid. I hide under the rubble, sniff out Richard Hell bootlegs while trying to cover up my scratchy Wham! records. The no wave screetching guitars send me up the walls.

I am obsessed with music, that should be all you need to know.

I'm sorry, that was a bit terse. I love Abba, the Beatles, Cocteau Twins, Radiohead, Alice Coltrane, Parliament and I really could go on an on and I did at first but I don't want to bore y'all. I genuinely think this forum is the best I've come across in YEARS of searching the web. Keep it real guys and gals. :) p.s. I'm 24, English and Simon Reynolds rules music writing.

johnny dbini, 32, scorpio. artist, dj and theatre techy. living in southwest england, originally a midlander. i work too hard. vinylist; lots of styles. favourites: beastie boys, rancid, nina simone, lard, isan, jimmy smith, wu, plastyc buddha. currently on heavy rotation: ruby, michael jackson (thriller), chilly g. i like ILM because the corners of my head are filled with trivia about music that is completely irrelevant elsewhere.

One time this guy at school started talking bad about the Geto Boys so I sort of had to chop his fucking head off and spin it like a basketball on my index finger.

And I'd like to add that the Beatles are my favorite rock band, and among my favorite artists, and it baffles me that so many people who post here can be deaf to what makes their music great, and that so many of you actually think that their perceived greatness is the result of their having become canonical. I've listened to all sorts of pop and weird obscure shit over the years, and I don't think I love the music of the Beatles merely because I have been well brain-washed.

No, I will not try to say something about them that will interest you scoundrels. I don't value music more if it generates something clever to say than I do for the experience of listening to it.

I'm 26, from Edinburgh and am a civil servant which is compensated for by the fact it gives me unlimited internet access 8 hours a day.

music i like includes Fugazi, my bloody valentine, radiohead, GVSB, Peaches, the pop group, PIL, big black, serge gainsbourg, scott walker, richard hell & the voidoids, television, new york doll, sonic youth, madredeus, suicide, boards of canada, lots of 60s garage bands and many more.

If you're in Edinburgh on a Saturday night be sure and pay a visit to Extra Width at the Gilded Balloon Saloon in the Cowgate - lots of the above and many more

I could do this too.

my name is richard john gillanders. I'm twenty years old. I live in glasgow. I study architecture. I like the music of a lot of the musicians and bands listed previously. but not all of them.

i work in publishing and i also teach lit at a college. i'm not going to name the bands i like to listen to, but the last 3 albums i bought were american analog set, riddim driver: gideon war, and international noise conspiracy. i refuse to buy music on cd. sometimes i like to play certain songs over and over and over. i used to have a radio show (for 4 years) and this aspect of my personality was not necessarily appreciated by all my listeners.

My real name is Joe but I made up the name PappaWheelie because I thought it was funny...now I fear all the people I've formed internet relationships with think I'm fat as they call me nicknames such as "Big Pappa" or "Big Daddy". I constantly find myself surrounded by people who are cool enough not to take themselves seriously while I throw all of my cards on the table. I love chasing things. I spent 2 years chasing down all of the info & bootlegs connected with The Beach Boys unfinished follow-up to Pet Sounds. I chased all of Edd Kalehoff's "prize music" recorded for The Price is Right for a while, but since I didn't finish that one, I'll pick it up again soon. To throw another strange thing in the mix, I am a historian of Miami Bass music who hosts a online forum with many of the old late 80's/early 90's artists. I produced bass music back then, and left it to go on this idiosyncratic path: Philisophical Hip-Hop, Vintage Jazz ('45-'65), Electronic music in general, Space Age Pop, Bossa Nova, Tropicalia, Indie Pop, Nu-Electro, and currently find myself knee deep in so called "Electro-Clash" (Miss Kittin, Fischerspooner, etc), Gutter Rock ala BRMC/V-Twin/Strokes/The White Stripes, and proto- punk. I recently spent 2 days chasing all of the recordings by the 60's "Overbeat" band "The Monks". I also write reviews, mix CD's for boutiques locally, do Electro A&R for BassMekanik.com, and produce junk on my MPC 2000 & PC software. My next goal is to get my mixed CD's on the fashion runways, move to NYC, and start my own record label. I also like to do Indian-Mod interiors and graphic designs. I would throw the rest of my cards down but I can't find them right now.

32, Bangalore, India. Into marketing technology.
After following this forum for two months started listening to Boney M and other disco which I loved when I was 9-10. Getting interested in disco, hip-hop, post-punk, contemporary dance but constrained due to availablility of albums in India.
Love writing. Will start experimenting writing about my first love, music.

I live in a tourist town in the US. A couple all-time favorites: The Smiths - Kitchens of Distinction - My Bloody Valentine - Killing Joke - Dead Can Dance. I claim to be a writer.

I'm Tav, 32, living in Surrey, just SW of London. I work as a Test Engineer for a 3G operator. I love music, all sorts, although the wide range of my CD collection tends to mask my lack of knowledge in this area. People always assume I'll know who "Dr Vas and his Vacillating He-men" are, and I don't. I play the guitar badly.

CHris, 27 years old, engaged and living in Worcester Massachusetts. Computer geek by day, couch potato by night. I hate bars, prefer to drink in my living room where I control the music. Hence the extra thirty pounds I've put on in the past year. Current playlist, Sigur Ros, Royskopp, Elbow, Kings of Convenience, Avalanches, Dr Buzzards Original Savannah Band, The PRayerBoat, Stevie Wonder, Marvin gaye, The Beach Boys, yes I know THE Strokes. Currently trying to create my own AValanches type thing using simply my PC. Not working too well. Typing this at work when I should be writing HTML, but feel like smoking and doing nothing today.

feel like smoking and doing nothing today

You have achieved a state of bliss we all desire. And to all the new people I haven't said hi to yet, welcome.

hi. i'm minna, 21, from melbourne, australia, doing arts/science @ melbourne uni.

forewarning: i'm an unabashed avalanches fangirl and i will defend them to the death. i might also bore you with my slavish-adoration-of- the-avalanches babble. if i'm doing that, just tell me and i'll stop.

i like pop: the good bits. especially hip-hop. my definition of pop is very broad. for me these days, the good bits include a lot of what happened between 1976 and 1983, 60s garage rock, disco new and old, timbaland etc.

i tend not to listen to "IDM" but that doesn't mean i think it's terrible. on the other hand, that's the very reason i don't listen to post-rock. i'm sick of indie because that's mostly what we're served here in melbourne, but i have to admit that it's good, in small, easy to swallow doses. names like grandaddy, belle and sebastian and low fail to excite me these days. i can't explain exactly why not.

i intend to start a big argument here about 'retro' in the not too distant future (unless you've already done that and can point me to the link...)

and finally, sorry, but i don't like britney, not even when she got the neptunes in.

Yay, somebody else from Melbourne! Hi, Minna!

hi electric sound of jim :) who are the other melbournians?.. c'mon, own up.

heh heh, an ILM Search using search term 'retro' gives you THREE Strokes threads in the top 5. But this thread might be what you want, minna. Or you could just start a new one, everyone else does.

haha, yes, that is what i was after, thanks. i suspected that the retro w/ respect to the strokes thing might have been done to death, so i stood back and took a deep breath. glad i did :)

24, from Norwich and so revile the rest of the (musical) world for putting down Norfolk whenever given the chance. There's some really good stuff up here, y'know. When I'm not watching chickens revolving on a rotisserie I pretend to do a fanzine, mangle the bass and think about doing something constructive with my life. I love Come.

I like the No-Man/Tim Bowness circle of bands, does that help?
