We might as well get this over with now, if indeed we move over here instead of just vacationing....

Me: Michaelangelo Matos, 27, freelance music writer/critic/journalist in NYC. I like lots and lots of stuff. I'm medium height and stocky, like strawberries and chocolate eclairs and fried calamari, haven't gone to the movies in far too long, get stressed fairly easy but maintain it pretty well, like baseball but haven't paid close attention to it in years, and love my new hometown, where I've lived a year and a half now.

Hope that helps some....

Disco fan. I paint white stripes on black zebras, black stripes on white zebras, and black-and-white stripes on plain zebras. I played the lead in a college production of "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" in 1936.

Umm... William Swygart, 19 now, still getting over the anti-spam gonads here (how I will miss thinking up those fake addresses - sob). Originator of pointless C/D threads about bands only he is actually interested in and even then he'll be lucky if he remembers them a week later. Writes for CTCL every now and then. Single as four-x. No, those last two aren't mutually inclusive... tssch...

Dom Passantino, which is a kinda Strokesy name. Indiest kid in Northampton, which just means that I'm more indie than, say, Lisa Maffffffffffffia. Lover of kebabs, Judd Nelson, and cynicism. Hater of drama students, Oxbridge students, and those studying drama at Oxbridge. Looks a bit like Danny Baker. Sadly.

25, live in Seattle, Yankees fan, perl programmer. Studied studio art (oh, my parents loved that one) and CS in college, so I'm completely unqualified to write anything about music. Despite that, I write a dorky music blog that Tom linked to from NYLPM yesterday (wow!).
I'm a big fan of the tiny doughnut shop in Pike Place Market, right in between the newstand where I sometimes buy ridiculously expensive British music magazines and the flying fish.

22, undergrad at Princeton U. in New Jersey, Canadian. Studying English and jazz alto sax. I like corduroy pants, drinking mimosas at sunday brunch, and sleeping in late whenever possible. No, I have no cigarettes on my person, I have not read your book and I dig lots of bands you're sick of hearing (about). Soon I will have a music weblog that will be fearsome, but until then you must read other ones - start with Tom's list, there are many good ones (including Lyra's, BTW).

I need to include my poem.

I doubt that RuPaul, tall and feminy

I think that I shall never see a better poem that both (1) resembles that awful Joyce Kilmer poem about trees, and (2) has a rhyme for "sea anemone."

I'm 48, live in central Denver about a 20-minute walk south of the main library. I write (google my name and you'll find some of it). I don't know if the phrase "rock critic" describes very well what I do; some of what I do, maybe. By the way, anyone who posts here is a writer, and a rock critic.

It appears that not even Ned will defend me on the Gene front. O I am doomed.

I most certainly will NOT defend you, because Gene are and have always been a bunch of talentless bastard pricks who think they are delicate and full of intelligent passion, but have the grace of a rotting elephant snout and the deftness and general ability to make 'beautiful' music in the same sense that Our Current President has the ability to make independent decisions without lobbyists. Steve Mason deserves a smack in the face and Rossiter couldn't have gone bald quickly enough for me, and their current audience here in LA represent a strain of Anglophilic desperation I wouldn't associate with in the slightest. DIE DIE DIE.

Apologies if I am not clear on this point. Did I mention I hate Gene?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 9 August 2002 20:26 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh yeah, and Rossiter's attempts at wit in interviews make Morrissey's silliest comments sound like Oscar Wilde's prime moments. GRR. John, escape now, there's a world of life and enlightenment out there, where you need never worry about hearing crap like "Fighting Fit" ever again.

joining thread this time around, my name is Jon Leidecker, I'm 32 years old, and live in San Francisco. life took a turn for the better a few years ago when I finally secured a software testing job that allows for around the clock music listening. in my car I've been listening to cassettes I compiled in high school in my car recently, and it looks like my tastes from that time are frighteningly easy to summarize as Recommended and Ralph Records damage. after that things get blurry, no surprises there.

anyways this list is dangerously fun, everyone seems rabidly knowledgable and largely nice. please forgive me if I use the words 'really' and 'very' too often in describing things I like.

Have been posting here intermittently for a while; may as well at last do a formal introduction!
I am as some may know, Tom, and am 21. Currently an undergraduate in English at Cambridge University... Born in Wigan 27.9.1982, but have lived in Sunderland since I was about 3. I'm not entirely sure where I'm headed in the future, but writing of some sort or even possibly music, which I play (and sometimes record) in a modest capacity at present. :)
Listening to music is of course a passion: from Fats Waller to the Bonzo Dog Band to Todd Rundgren to Aphex Twin and Abba... so much really, in all fields and meadows of music. I've a strong current interest in all eras of the UK charts, music hall recordings and its influence, and as ever, Englishness and the importance of 'place' in pop music.
I'm deeply interested in television, film, politics, theatre and literature also.

Hi I'm Patrick, started reading ILM years ago (2002 or 3). found this place after I googled for reviews of the version of Ludacris' Southern Hospitality with Ms Dynamite doing a guest verse, found one on the now-defunct spizzazzz.com, and discovered music blogs. been lurking off and on since then, very occasionally putting a word in but never introducing myself, til now... sorry about that. hello!

about me: Dubliner, 31 years old, used to be a lawyer til I quit this summer. now doing a masters in music and media technology (http://www.mee.tcd.ie/mmt/).

ah hello, my name's sam. been awkwardly posting here for the better part of the past year, so here goes an introduction. i work part-time as a poster artist and childcare worker in montreal. i'm also in a couple bands and am a student. i listen to most things at least a little bit, but mainly it's between pop, garage punk, hip hop and rn'b these days. and i'm slowly and cautiously edging myself towards dance music.

Greetings - Finally took the plunge about a month-&-a-half ago. I've always appreciated the camaraderie, information-sharing, and humor that generally goes on at this site.

Age: North of 40. Rapidly becoming an anachronism technologically (still buy cd's, have never owned an mp3 player, much less an iPod). Married. Live in WA State/Puget Sound area (daily ferry commute to Seattle). Not currently following my bliss, just paying the bills. Stopped stuffing shims in my generation gap, and have been trusting that the kids are alright, without trying to keep up with it all.

First concert: The Police & the Fleshtones, SF Cow Palace, 1982. Latest one: Yo La Tengo, end of October.

Random trivia: After seeing the film 'You Can Count on Me', a number of friends (& my wife) independently declared the uncanny resemblance in look, voice, & gestures I shared with director Kenneth Lonergan, who made a cameo as a priest in the movie.

Cheers!

thirteen years pass...

Hi, my name is James Redd, I mean Wile E. Galore, super genius, and I am deeply saddened to learn today of the passing of two musical magicians, Wayne Shorter and Steve Mackey.
