Greetings
 

I always find these initial forum introductions very difficult. I suppose it is that overriding feeling that somehow I cannot justify my existence through the tapping of my laptop keys. That is all a little weird, maybe too heavy for an introduction!

Well hello all. I look forward to reading your insights and gettign to know your internet persona!

It's a music forum.
Talk music, that helps :).

What do you listen to?

So are you a vampire?

I went into another introduction thread and saw the person had listed their music interests and I felt like an idiot!

Was really the obvious thing to do!

I just finished listening to Patti Smith's Horses and am now listening through Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom. I downloaded some stuff by Built To Spill, Slint, A Dylan with the Dead concert set and a band called The Chills.

That's definitely an interesting list :).

But do you have any favourite bands in particular?

I'll try get all High Fidelity and go for a top time all five albums!

Blonde On Blonde
His N' Hers - Pulp (precursor to Different Class, in my (incredibly humble, honestly!) opinon some of Jarvis ****er's best lyrical work)
Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of The Moon - Pink Floyd (they are inseperable for me!)
Some Cities - Doves
Mezzanine - Massive Attack

Other favourites include
Penal Colony - Women
Eyelid Movies - Phantogram
Beggars Banquet - Rolling Stones
American Pie - Don McLean (it is almost a pity the title song became what it did as the album is fantastic)

And then anything by Dylan, Beatles, Blur, Suede, Arcade Fire, Dire Straits.

Haha, our taste seems to match for quite a bit.

Want to recommend something for me? Or even rattle of a few of your favourites?

You really did go all High Fidelity didn't you? You even listed Massive Attack in your top 5.

Welcome!

Yeh I am pretty obsessed with that movie, I've a playlist of all the songs played and mentioned in it somewhere in my itunes!
