duga

jackhammer - There are a lot of people on here with expansive taste in music, but in my opinion jackhammer wins by a longshot. He has a band or artist for every occasion you throw at him. He is willing to listen to recommendations he has never heard of. He has the taste in music I want to have.

Freebase - The quickest witted here. No other member's posts make me crack up as much as his.

mojopunk - An all around nice guy with a great taste in music. Easy to talk to and open to all kinds of stuff.

TheCunningStunt - Like I said, always on here. Also the most persistent music lover I've ever encountered. It is ok if progressive rock doesn't do anything for you, man...I promise, there are other people out there who don't like it.

AwwSugar - Haven't talked to her much recently, but I know she is out there. Really nice person and the most personable person on this forum. Person.

right-track - Feels like the dad of MB (though I have seen him tear into people he doesn't like...always entertaining).

Number9 - Has my favorite taste in music on here second only to jackhammer. It is different than mine, but she seems to know what she likes and goes for it. I respect that a lot, and I always check her lastfm when I'm in the mood for her taste and need something new.

Paloma - The most entertaining member here. I love when I see that she has posted in a thread, it usually turns out to be very interesting. Even if it is just her saying she hates a certain album, the way she says it cracks me up.

Vegangelica - I feel like she puts more thought and work into her posts than any other member here. Sometimes that results in more of a quick skim rather than an in depth read, but I still admire her mammoth posts.

CanWllCorfe - I'm not even sure if I got his name right there. I'll go with it, I think everyone knows who I am talking about. He wins the quirkiest taste in music award. Quirky in a good way, though. He really knows his black metal and ambient electronic. I love atmosphere in my music, and he often knows just the artist to look into.

Zero1986 - According to his lastfm, he loves shoegaze as much as I do. That is good.

boo boo - I feel he is often the victim of the toneless text world we are trying to talk to each other in. Sometimes it is easy to infer a condescending tone even when none was there, and he picks up on it all the time. It does result in some pretty entertaining arguments, though. Part of the holy prog triumvirate.

tore - Second in the holy prog triumvirate and a fellow biologist. He produces some of the best discussion worthy non music threads out there.

Anteater - Third in the holy prog triumvirate. All I need is boo boo, tore, and Anteater and I don't think I will ever be short of prog in my life. They know their ****.

sidewinder - I don't know a whole lot about him, but my impression is working guy obsessed with music. I myself have a job where I am able to listen to tons of music, and I think he is the same way.

Janszoon - I feel like our tastes in music are tangential to each other, but not quite compatible. He seems to enjoy some of my recommendations and I enjoy some of his, but there are quite a few areas we don't agree in. This is a good thing though, I enjoy talking to him.

Urban Hatemonger - His comments can get old, but for some reason I always feel like I should be working for his respect. A response about an album I've been liking one way or the other can make or break my day. It's weird.

I'll get to the rest of you later. Unless I don't like you. Then you know....

Aww thanks!!! Glad to be entertaining....

Well I guess I'll do one of my own and try not to leave some people out lol


AwwSugar/Amandria - Amandria and I didn't get along well when I first joined, she had a bad impression of me and I had a bad impression of her, but we resolved that and she's definitely (obviously) one of my favorites on MB, because she's a really sweet girl, although she can be rather confrontational at times, her heart's in the right place and she's very fair on all subjects I bring up with her, which are usually my own issues and she always has nice things to say to people, and despite the fact we have rather different music tastes (besides Lady Gaga!) we get on like a damn fire.

NumberNineDream/Eleanor/Melissa - Eleanor was one of the first people to be nice to me on here, and we subsequently pet named each other due to our love of the Beatles. I think she's a wonderful girl, she reminds me of me in a lot of ways, I just wish she were a little more confident in herself, cause I think she's really amazing at a lot of things.

+81/Lucas - I love Lucas. He never has anything really bad to say about anyone and he's always there to listen to me when I have an issue. I love his witty commentary in the shoutbox, and he has excellent taste in punk rock, and Falco too.

Unchained Ballad/Hugo - I also love Hugo. He's got kind of a poncey manner but I think it really suits him, rather than being annoying as it would be for someone else. He's also someone who should be more confident in themselves, he's great. He's great fun in cam chats and is a good sport when I have a giggle at him for his pink shirts. He's also good for an ear when I want to bitch about something. I honestly didn't like him at first, until Bandteacher1 insulted him in the shoutbox inappropriately, and I felt it was very rude so I had to rip bandteacher a new asshole. He's a good looking kid too, with great tastes in post-punk.

Kayleigh/Fanny - I don't imagine anyone could dislike Fanny, she's definitely one of the sweetest people on MB. Our taste in music is definitely not compatible but it doesn't matter because we both love Skins and the Scheme, and I can talk in Scots with her (which is weird, being that I'm from Midwestern America). Definitely a favorite.


Anteater - Sometimes I think I hate this mother****er, but I think we just like winding each other up and bitching at each other. If we knew each other IRL we'd probably get on fine. He's an okay dude most times.



RVCA - I don't know much about this kid, he's pretty good looking, but he has some ****ty musical tastes (Linkin Park, rly?) I guess I'll wait till he posts more to really pass judgement on him, but he also seems like an okay dude besides that, I like him now.

Storymilo - I love Story, a lot. Story is so well adjusted for his age it's almost scary. He was one of the first people as well to be nice to me up in this bitch, and I'm glad he was, he's a great kid, very smart and has excellent book and music taste and handles it well when he used to get weird messages from me on drugs. Lulz.


James - James can sometimes come off as a pretentious ****weed, but he's really a sweet kid, he's always open to new music and being that that's something I can't understand, I quite admire him for it. He's really quite open to everything suggestions, and he's really good to talk to on all sorts of subjects, and he's Scottish so that's a plus too.


crash_override - He's a cool dude, I miss the times he was in the shoutbox because we'd have weird conversations about **** like cheese, and it was somehow very entertaining.

boo boo - yo chill the **** out, son. That's all I'm gonna say

duga - Duga surprised me with his friendliness, he's so damn cool, he should be a total ass but he's not. I admire that

TheCunningStunt/lol Michael - I quite like lol Michael, especially since he doesn't mind that I add an lol to his name every time I type it. He seems like a good kid, and mostly all of his posts entertain me.

Barnard17/Sam I kind of didn't like Sam at the beginning, but now I really like him, he seems so fun, I'd love to party with him, provided he didn't try to wear my dresss.....

Freebase Dali - Jeremy is so damn funny sometimes, I'll never forget the time I made him sing Fernando by Abba for me and he actually did it. Made my life.


tore - Tore to me, is like the really friendly Bill Nye the Science guy of MB

Glastonelle -
She's gorgeous and has great taste in mostly everything (especially dudes, holla)



bannister- Bannister is definitely my favorite n00b, she's got probably the best taste on here (only second to mine of course )


more later, I promise

glastonelle

Why thank you! You are now officially my favourite member Consider me Palomas n.1 fan

storymilo

Gee thanks. But I'm not really well adjusted-I secretly rage with internal debate.

I can't believe I didn't notice this until today! Shiz.

Everyone- you're all super nice, for the most part. I haven't run away screaming yet. I was expecting that to happen my first week here.

K, I think it's time I wrote about some more people whom I didn't cover in my first post from a year ago:


SATCHMO:
Always strikes me as a cosmopolitan guy who's wise beyond his years. And I appreciate that his tastes stretch back further than most.

Bulldog:
He's a swell guy, and we're into a lot of the same music like Bowie, Nick Cave and the Birthday Party, XTC, Steel Pulse and post-punk in general. He needs to get his brother back on MB

Freebase Dali:
Dali's a funny, intelligent, multifarious guy and a great mod. Good at what he does.

Mr. Dave:
He's one of the most level-headed people on MB and I find myself agreeing with nearly everything he says. Not to mention, he's a mine of knowledge when it comes to bass.

Lateralus:
Kate is one of my favourite members and one of the few I've really talked to outside MB. She's extremely nice and agreeable but still stands up adamantly for what she believes in. Someone as awesome as she is shouldn't be so hard on themselves.

LoathsomePete:
Cool guy with a great taste in games - seriously, with tore and Pete on MB, I don't have to feel nerdy when talking about CRPGs

CunningStunt:
A characteristic Mancunian, through and through Bit of a similar disposition to lucifer sam I think. I don't mind that he dislikes prog because he loves the Smiths.

VEGANGELICA:
Erica is bat**** crazy but awesome all the same. She really is a delightful person.

Mojopinuk:
I regret that I didn't talk to him much before he became a mod because he's a really humble down-to-earth guy who deserves better than what he's getting.

NumberNineDream:
Cool and quirky girl - I admire her artistic talent.

Anteater:
This guy knows a buttload about music and puts my prog knowledge to shame. I haven't really talked to him about non-music stuff though.

Nonsubmissivewife:
NSW is a another cool gal and I like that she likes Fat Freddy's, the Black Seeds, D'Angelo and BB.

Tuna:
He doesn't post much (like me) but his posts are well thought out and always worth reading.

Unchained Ballad:
Is a well-spoken guy with an interesting taste in music. Also too hard on himself.

James:
I wish I had a music taste like that when I was his age... maybe he's a long lost Scottish relation of jackhammer's?

Paloma:
Paloma is admirably shameless and in fact, probably doesn't give a toss about what I'm saying right now. Sticks to her guns like no other.



And... I'll stop there for now cos I badly need sleep so I'm gonna go to bed and watch some Arrested Development. I've somehow managed to survive this week on 4 hrs sleep a night.

Wow, thank you very much. I'm flattered. Hahaha, chatterbox. It's not the first time I've been called that in my life.. :) Thank you very much Flower Child. I'm extremely flattered by your opinion!

Yet again, I'm very flattered you think I'm the slightest little bit funny.

Withdrawl symptoms :D?

Thanks, but I have to disagree on the second part. I'd definitely say I was here more for music, my friendships are a massive plus though. Also when I am the minority of the board talking about the same things that other people also like gets boring, and I have nobody to discuss the other stuff with, which is why I go through phases of not really posting in the music forums! :(

thank you I'd say you were my favourite electronica fan here, as your taste is so different to other, quite unique actually.

Thank you very mucho! I've never thought that someone could actually enjoy a song I post, and I've never considered that anyone could think they were gems! I'm so flattered! :O:O

I ****ing love you boaby. The third and fourth episodes are going to be showing soon, I'll give you a shout, and we can talk some scheme patter

I'll just start posting self pics in lieu of musical opinions, then

I think I'll wait a bit more to make a substantial post in this thread. I hate passing snap judgements that turn out to be completely (or even partially) incorrect as time passes.
