SATCHMO

So it's been a while since I've done one of these, so I'll give it another whirligig to celebrate my return from existential hiatus.

Nonsubmissivewife - Cooks a lasagna that will make you wanna smack your mama for even thinking about selling you to the gypsies. Understands that Starbucks can be used as a motivational tool. Likes both Fat Freddie's Drop and Aretha Franklin. Has not played Scrabble with me yet. I'm disappointed.

Paloma - there is nothing quite as attractive as a young lady who could really give a **** what you think about them. Consequently, I usually find myself wanting to paint their toe nails while listening to Karen Carpenter sing Superstar. She loves (or strongly likes) John Irving novels. That's hot.

Sidewinder - It seems that the most engaged and intelligent posters on this forum are IDM fans. Is this coincidence? I don't know. Sidewinder is one of the few posters on here who's purpose for being here I never question. I'd love to see a journal from him.

Freebase Dali - First I though he was the best n00bs ever as Veridical Fiction, Then he got a little bit too rockstar-ish for my own ego to handle, and THEN he got modded and all was well in the world, and everything settled into place. As our resident devil-may-care audio techie I think his modship was an excellent decision and has really improved the overall quality of the place. I wish he got into talking a bit more about the music he likes, rather than the music he produces, which is probably even more awesome than what he listens to.

Janzoon - We were once going to be platonic life partners. We even went shopping for wedding china once in a dream that I had. Definitely has quite an extensive and well rounded appreciation for, and knowledge of GREAT (as opposed to the mediocre crap that most of y'all listen to) music. When I can make Janzoon lol or lmao, or , it's definitely been a good day.

Boards of Canada - This kid has my attention. Another example of IDM fans being exceptionally articulate. I'm sorry, but how old are you? I have to ask. You look young, but you communicate yourself very modestly, thoughtfully, and intelligently, and I'm not even quite there yet.

Bulldog - Love the dude. I'm convinced he lives in a castle made of gumdrops in the clouds, but since I don't appear to really have any visible neighbors I have to remain quite skeptical of that. He has impeccable taste in music, most of which is not my cup of tea, but a lot of which thought was not, but came to find out through his many compelling journals and reviews that I actually do love some things which i thought i would never be able to get into. Somehow he has the ability to take chances on new music I might not otherwise think twice about listening to.

that's all for now... I shall return.
