Semi-new and haven't introduced myself (blues, rock, neil young, Celtic)

Barabajagal · 12-10-2008, 05:00 PM

I've been a member of quite a few message boards but I joined music banter because quite frankly, none of the people on those other boards knew what they were talking about. I read the boards for a few weeks before joining, and was thrilled to find people who not only know how damn important music, but also know a boatload and a half about it.

I like most manifestations of rock (acid, blues, progressive, etc), folk, experimental, and I'm really big into traditional Irish/Celtic music.

Some of my favorite artists

King Crimson
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Phish
Jefferson Airplane
Modest Mouse
David Bowie
The Kinks
Sonic Youth
Neil Young (& Crazy Horse)
Pixies
Frank Zappa

I tend to read more than I post, but that'll hopefully change soon. I want to get active in the complilation thread especially, it's a great idea. Nice to meet everyone!

Edit: Could anyone inform me how to embed youtube videos properly? I can't figure it out and have to keep posting links.

Well howdily doodily, neighborino! I'm fairly new myself, & I'll agree with you: the people on here are easy to get along with and they DEFINATELY know their music. Looks like you have a good taste in music. You said you like traditional Irish/Celctic music. Have you ever heard of the Corries? If not, I suggest you give them a listen. Very good traditional Scotish/Celctic duo.

Welcome! You definately sound like you're gonna fit in just fine here. If you have any questions(besides the youtube thing-I dont know about that one) feel free to ask.

Just found out that a girl I did not want to date was directly related to the guitarist for Sonic Youth. (first cousin) What a bummer for me.

Anyways welcome and hope you stay active.
