I guess I'd consider myself a hardcore fan of some tiny bands. In the way that I go to watch their gigs whenever I can, and that they are a bit scared of me. but the most hardcore one is probably Black Nielson.
I went as far as buying shares in their record company just before the release of their second album, so that there was some money to try and promote the album. Obviously that money I put in wasn's spent on promotions.

― jellybean (jellybean), Sunday, 29 February 2004 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I should also add..

the Ramones
Iron Maiden
Motorhead
XTC
Cocteau Twins
...though not all with the same zeal as my afore-mentioned list.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 29 February 2004 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

And Scream, maybe? I'm not sure. But I've got to have the DC punk!

I don't have *complete* collections of any of those in fact. like someone said there is far too much stuff out there.

People who get obsessive over labels - why? (I'm not being rude, I want to know)

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Monday, 1 March 2004 10:28 (twenty-two years ago)

People who get obsessive over labels - why?

after a while you get used to a certain quality of output. there's at least several labels in existence now where i know i'm more than likely to really get into every new release they issue

― the surface noise (electricsound), Monday, 1 March 2004 10:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh there are probably a dozen of them for me - but to obsess over them, as opposed to just looking out for stuff they release, seems a bit remiss

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Monday, 1 March 2004 10:50 (twenty-two years ago)

i guess that might depend on how you define 'obsess'. i mean, does checking the label's website weekly to see what their upcoming releases are and then buying them on the day of release count as obsessed?

― the surface noise (electricsound), Monday, 1 March 2004 10:51 (twenty-two years ago)

none really - but the closest would be Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx, Chemical Brothers and a few years back The Prodigy and 808 State

If I listed every band that I've ever been a fanatical fan of, my fingers would fall off.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 1 March 2004 16:34 (twenty-two years ago)

The last time I came near to this was Stephin Merritt and the Magnetic Fields, four or five years ago. I can't see it ever happening again to be honest, my listening is too atomised now.

You know, it's funny, 'cuz I was so apalled by this unrepentant fanboy behavior when I first encountered it my first year of college that I actually dared to investigate further, and thus, the rest is history. As they say!
