Introduce Yourselves!

Heh, I guess the liking lots of the same stuff is pretty natural, but I didn't think I'd come across as a caricature of louis' bro.

And yeah Scott I really liked that Amok album, and in fact most stuff you recommend. :)

it would be hard to come across as a caricature of louis. he takes care of that all by himself.

anyway, Welcome!

Thanks!

Frankie I'll look forward to yr contributions to Rolling Metal

Frankie what is your stance on racist bottle openers?

Is the drum a musical instrument

I guess I'll take this opportunity before I get called out again to introduce myself. I'm an ex-college radio DJ, and I used to be hip to all the cool shit, but having a job has seriously limited the amount of time I spend looking for new music and going to shows. I came here to read about new music and hopefully find stuff that excites me. I can't adequately describe my taste in music- lately I've been listening to a lot of "ringtone" rap and the new collection by the Lucksmiths. Anyway, hi.

'bout time.

frankie munez

my roommate can vouch for the fact that, upon seeing this post, I spent the next 2 minutes in a single continuous "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

(the frankie post, that is)

I sort of introduced myself! on the EMP 2008 thread a week ago but I've never chimed in here in properly. I'm Dan, I've been hanging out on this board for the last year and a half or so, during which time I moved from Manhattan to New Jersey and again to Concord, Mass. I'm married with two kids. My professional music experience: I worked at an independent record store in Chicago, then at Tower Records, and then at an independent music distributor, all of which are now defunct. More as a hobby, I did some music journalism and played in a couple bands in the '90s. Now I work as a lawyer in Boston. Hello to all of you.

dad a: Which Chicago record store did you work at?

I hope your law firm doesn't go defunct. It sounds like that shit happens to you.

it's frankie muniz, bro.

That's funny -- I'm LJ's wacky neighbour.

I'm LJ's papa.

kwhitehead: Thanks, happily my firm isn't affected by the music industry's decline. The record store was called The Inside Track, on Armitage, when they had just opened and I was going to high school down the street. The other clerk was Pete Margasak.

Jeff your name always makes me think of Belgian strong beers

Hahaha. I saw that reg in the new users lists and at first thought it might be LJ making a new account to get past his ban. :)

You caught me, Hurting. I'm actually a sentient beer.

Louis says it really is his brother.

I'm Nick and I'm listening to The Very Best of Ethiopiques.

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

To me this old world is a wonderful place
And I'm just about the luckiest human in the whole human race
I've got no silver and I've got no gold
Just a whole lot of happiness in my soul

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

Happiness to me is an ocean tide
Or a sunset fading on a mountain side
Or maybe a big old heaven full of stars up above
When I'm in the arms of the one I love

Happiness is a field of grain
Lifting its face to the falling rain
I can see it in the sunshine, I breathe it in the rain
Happiness everywhere

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

A wise old man told me one time
That happiness is nothing but a frame of mind
I hope when you go to measuring my success
That you don't count my money count my happiness

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

The other clerk was Pete Margasak

The biggest fish in a small pond.

I remember "Inside Track." That was a long time ago. I used to go there, then to the "Coffee and Tea Exchange" down the street.

I live in a grubby college town in Minnesota and work the graveyard shift at a grocery store. I'm moving to New Zealand in August. I'm in bands with jerks, I'm a know-nothing from a nowhere small town and I'm here in some halfassed attempt to learn more about music (five+ years without the internet, trying to catch up). I'm on the myspace like every other jerksuck. Pleased to meecha.

do your bandmates know they are jerks?

...
I'm busy speculating whether or not I meant that. Regardless, I love them all.

okay, Welcome!

Thanks, buddy!

fuck, at the start of this thread, Dr C says his kids are 8 and 5. They'd now be (approx) 15 and 12. That's kind of scary. Time flies.

Welcome to everyone, even especially the LJ sibling.

And he still plays rugby. The kids must keep him fit.

That and not having butter on the canteen lady's crumpet.

Hello, I'm just some bodrick.

hello. i'm 25. Toronto, via Tokyo, via Newfoundland. i met a girl who lives here. my tastes are all over the place, and she can dance beautifully to any of it. i have a desk job downtown now. and i've read this board off and on for years. so now here i am.

last music i bought was the last Local Rabbits album. last thing i downloaded was a Cold Crush recording from thatrealschitt.blogspot.com

i hope this was the right thread.

It was. Welcome!

Local Rabbits, nice! :-) saw at Halifax Pop Explosion like 94? Great stuff

welcome, for what it's worth coming from me, I am pretty new too.

Hey, I've posted a handful of times, but just so that it's on the record and I'm not just some lurker when I sporadically post:

I'm Tal, and it's too bad that I didn't hear about this place six or seven years ago.
