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.

(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, Wednesday, 23 January 2008 03:40 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

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.

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 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
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

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'm Nate. http://a596.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/114/l_1fc092b89d496a31afb4099a0313ddbb.jpg 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.

Hi, all. I was posting for a while as Bob Standard, but had problems with that account (much too delicate to go into here). So now I'm this. Through it all, I've been a middle-aged database guy who likes to geek about music, go to shows, etc. I live in Seattle, up by Greenlake. It's nice, quiet. We have apple trees in the yard.
I was born in’67. I’ve been an Oakland Raiders fan since ’74 and a Chicago White Sox fan since about then as well. In the 70’s I thought the Rolling Stones were the greatest. In the Eighties I moved on to Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. I went to college and decided Mudhoney was where it’s at. Suddenly I was in musical heaven. Records by the Afghan Whigs, Breeders, Neil Young, Nirvana, Nick Cave, Sonic Youth all flooded my impressionable ears. I continued like this until the mid Nineties when I drifted back to “rock n roll” with the discovery of the Beasts of Bourbon and The Scientists. I then jumped on the garage rock trolley with labels like Estrus, In the Red and Sympathy for the Record Industry. I quickly added the stoner rock of the Man’s Ruin label among others. Since the turn of the century I’ve been searching the bins for late sixties early seventies rarities and searching for that next revelation where ever it may come from. Currently I live in upstate New York (outside Ithaca) with my girl friend and cat shaped poop machine. I’m taking IT classes in an effort to get a permanent job that will let me settle down in one place and buy way more records than I’ll ever be able to listen to.

OK, "cat shaped poop machine" is one of the greatest things ever posted to ILX.
