Me vs. Maradona vs. Elvis is such an amazing amazing tune. Also Jesus, Sowing Season, The No Seatbelt Song, Noro, Guernica, Millstone, Jude Law And A Semester Abroad, Archers Bows Have Broken, Seventy Times 7 <3333333

As for me, I'd always liked music. I was growing up during the whole britpop era so I heard a lot of Oasis, Pulp, Bluetones, Suede, Elastica, Stereophonics, Blur. Also bands like Beautiful South, Alanis Morissette, Tracey Chapman, David Gray, Travis, Feeder etc. cause my dad was always playing them, so I heard a lot through him. But it was this band that got me well and truly into music. Something just clicked when I took the time out to properly listen to them, I completely fell in love:

Boards of Canada! it's been two years since I first heard them but they never really got old. the only thing that pisses me off about them is the lack of new material. (it's been five years, and I certainly hope that you're not on vacation.) that aside, they are modest, they shun fame and they are mysterious. it's so rare that we get an interview with them, because they dislike exposure. Ever since I found this band, I recently started getting into more acts on the Warp label like !!!, Aphex Twin, Autechre, and Battles, of course. I have a new found love for experimental music because of these guys and I realize that not all electronic is talentless.

I love it when my threads get bumped. Nice.

My entire family were musicians and jamming and playing music was a common thing around my house growing up. I still remember the time I first played an acoustic guitar when I was about 4 or 5. (First time my dad ever let me even touch his old Gibson)
We were constantly exposed to all sorts of instruments and playing, but there wasn't a real outside music influence.
My parents (mostly my dad) had converted to extremist Christianity by the time I was born in 81', so when I was old enough to appreciate music, everything was "of the devil" unless it was Christian.
But I do remember my uncle giving us an old 8-track/record player jukebox thing when I was around 6 or 7, with a bunch of old records. I still don't know why they accepted the records, because none of them were Christian. Must have been a nostalgic thing for them that they never assumed we'd get into. But I remember out of all the old records, the one I remember most was Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues. I used to play that record over and over when my dad was working offshore. Felt like I was getting away with murder, and I loved it.

I think that was the record that got me into [actually having to, by necessity] sneaking around for music. Sadly, the only stuff I could come in contact with was stuff on the radio. In the 80's, that was a bad time to only have that option. But I was old enough in the 90's to get cassettes from friends at school and start sneaking out to go to local shows and all that. At that time, punk was the big thing in my town (pop punk, anyway) and I think that's when I really got into more of the listening side than the making side.
By the late 90's, I made the mistake of taking acid and listening to Electronic, and it all went sideways from there. The rest is history.
I was constantly exposed to music as well and definitely had a "musical ear" so to say, but it remained a passing interest until I was in middle school when I discovered the Pumpkins. It turned from admiring a nice tune here and there to not wanting to take off my headphones unless I really really had to.

Love these guys. They constantly got compared to the Smashing Pumpkins early in their career (which makes sense if you really listen to their debut), but Without You I'm Nothing was allll Placebo. It is still one of my favorite records and I still have to listen to it occasionally.

I experienced something of a musical revolution with Boards of Canada. I saw Thievery Corporation live so that kind of trippy/chill electronic music had just hit my radar. A little while after that show, a friend showed me Boards of Canada's album the Campfire Headphase. It felt like my world had just turned upside down and after that all I wanted was electronic music. Nowadays I'm much more well rounded in my listening habits...but Boards of Canada will always remain my favorite electronic act because they got me into it in the first place.

Oh yeah I can totally see why they were compared. For me their first 3 records are absolutely untouchable, my favourite being their third, Black Market Music. Unfortunately I wasn't overwhelmed by the last 3 albums which is really sad, but I still love them a fucking lot. I could go as far as saying I actually strongly dislike Battle For The Sun, I just don't 'get it' at all, and its scary because I really don't see what direction Placebo could take after this. Maybe they'll disband, hopefully not though

I remember the first time I heard Narcoleptic. It was pretty crazy, I'd never felt so moved by a song before and I'd certainly never connected to a band like Placebo before. It was a great feeling and they still float my boat to this day.
