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.

Hello, I'm Ron, 29 from Seattle, WA. I build custom furniture for a living, mostly modern-ish pieces, some steel work. For a few years after HS I produced beats for a local hiphop outfit, but now only occasionally dabble in music making. I'm hoping to get more into it again, but another style of music. In terms of listening habits, I'd like to think I have broad tastes, but mainly I'm into indie rock, soul jazz a la 60's/70's, rap and some soul but more limited knowledge there. I would like to learn more about drum & bass types of music but find it a bit intimidating to get started. Don't really know where to begin. Oh yeah, I also watch a fair number of movies, mostly newer ones. OK, bye!

I play drums, probably most significantly in the Ryan Meisel Quartet at the moment (jazz group, should be coming out with an album in a couple of months). I started off my musical life (at least in the teenaged obsessive sense) with metal and prog-rock, but after high school it's all been about the jazz and the hip-hop and that sort of fun stuff.

As far as music goes, I like Can, the Fall, Slayer, Cluster, Shirley Collins, the Kinks, Panacea, Lee Perry, Dock Boggs, Goblin and some other stuff which is not in my bag today.

PROFILE:
Call me Dave (or Daver, if you don't lay into the R like a hillbilly). I'm 27. Thanks to the Freaky Trigger Family, I like a lot more music than I used to; specifically, Tom & Co. have shown me that my childhood love of Top 40 muzak CAN happily co-exist with indiephilia. Unfortunately, I live a fair ways away (1.5 hours) from places where my thirst for LIVE INDIE can be slaked. I play guitar; I want to buy a piano of some sort (preferably one that makes neat sounds); I write stuff about music on a pro-bono basis (though my amateur status has been tainted); I have a website (where most of my pro-bono work can be found); I take computer classes (from which a job will be secured to allow my pro-bono antics to continue unfettered); I have been spammed a lot since I first posted on this board.
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR:
Well, the ideal bandmates would be open-minded, open to different influences, open to trying new things, open to failure. If they can stand a diehard post-punk guy smacking out bits of pseudo-literate wussy pop songs on his acoustic guitar, that's a bonus. Fans of the Beatles, This Heat, Franklin Bruno, Big Flame, and the Game Theory / Loud Family nexus get 1st priority. (List subject to change.) I'm specifically looking for someone with either a Jew's Harp, a didgeriedoo (sic), a rain stick, or a set of spoons. Anyone w/ recording equipment can join. The name of the band will NOT be Nixon Liddy Codpiece; that's my only demand.

i'm stirmonster but you can call me twitch if you like. i'm a dj but please, please don't call me dj twitch - yuk. my real name is keith and i'm 34 and live in glasgow. i've been playing records for a living for 15 years and started scotland's first techno club - pure. it was the first place in the uk ever to book richie hawtin, jeff mills and a host of other techno legends. i also ran a label that released the first music in the uk from panasonic and jimi tenor. pure lasted for ten years but by then i'd had enough of all night house and techno and wanted to do something else - so i did.
so i started a club called optimo (espacio) where i could indulge my love for all sorts of music from no wave to garage rock to electro to dub to dub disco to.... just about anything really. it's the joy of my life and is possibly the most deranged club out there. no, really it is! you can check out what gets played and a whole host of other stuff link
