introducing...
 

Hey dudes,
My names Jess. I'm 20. I'm from Maine. I noticed there are a good number of people from England on here. I just studied abroad in England for a semester and miss it so much!
I'm a pretty big music fan. I like to mix up my music and try different kinds but my favorites genres tend to be within indie rock, alternative, pop, post-punk and lately alt-country. Sounds like you all just want a list of bands though. It's easier to figure out someones tastes that way. So here it goes. Some of my favorites are:
Weezer
Foo Fighters
Replacements
Grandaddy
Mountain Goats
Wilco
Maritime
Goldenboy
Hot Water Music
Jack Johnson
The Rentals
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Cursive
Nerf Herder
Desaparecidos
Nada Surf
Damien Rice
Decemberists
New Pornographers
nofx
The Promise Ring
The Anniversary
Dismemberment Plan
And lately, I've been loving the Avett Brothers.

Okay, that's probably long enough to give you an idea...

See you around the forum :)

Welcome here Jess. Whereabouts in England did you stay and where did you study?

in Bath, the best darn city ever! haha, okay maybe not the best, but a great city.

dang, ive only heard of like 4 of the bands you mentioned.
welcome to the forum, im new also. maybe ill see you around? :P

aw, really? you should check some of those bands out, they are faaabulous - or at least, i think so, haha.

wait, you're not joking are you? cause i can't tell..

Welcome to musicbanter gogojessicat.

Favorite retro videogames?

no im really not joking, i guess i will have to check them out :P


another random question? haha

I do my best.

i knew a guy studying abroad in the US from there...cool guy. random...but i said it anyway.


welcome...any fan of wilco can be friends with me.

story brings up a good question, however random.

def. super mario bros. but i also played a lot of that 007 game for n64 which rocked. ever play it?



thats awesome. its like he and i swapped places, haha.
yes, wilco fans unite :)

Nah, I only have a PC so I can't play any super old games or anything. But that's cool, Mario is awesome.

Welcome! <3

Goldeneye :beer:

Welcome aboard.

yes! haha, another n64 fan, nice.

N64 all the way... Welcome to MB!

Welcome Jess

Yeah i still have my N64. I think its about time to dust it off and set it up again.

haha i'm impressed that you still have yours. and maybe a little jealous. i had to sell mine ages ago so i could upgrade to a playstation.


also, thanks to all those that have welcomed me :)

I actually had a PS1 at the time but i bought one later and i still have it now. I dont have many games for it really but its good fun.

noob:

on the toilet: ****ting without reading material y/n

yeah, i think the ps1 was when i realized i suck at video games and should retire from them entirely. so i never got any of the fancy game consuls. wish i had a wii though. have you played one?

I've played one but i dont own one. I dont think ill ever buy one because i really find it hard to enjoy it unless its a multiplayer environment which is not something thats gonna be enough to convince me to buy one, not just for multiplayer.. Playing a wii on your own kinda sucks i think and id rather have the PS3 or 360 for that.

It's a shame cause theres some Nintendo exclusive games that look to be very impressive.

Ehh, Wii is too much for me.
I just want a regular controller.
With regular buttons.
None of this swinging remotes around or anything.
Some of the games are cute though.

I dont like the remotes either. Fair enough for multiplayer games its a bit of fun and i dont mind the remotes at all at that point but when im on my own and i wanna play Zelda i'd like very much to sit down and press buttons without waving them around and risking taking my eye out.

Hahaha.
It's just too much for me.
Even playing Mario Kart sucks on Wii.

Mario Kart is fun on Wii but other than that I don't really like it as a platform. PC will always be my favorite but I'm hoping to eventually pick up some used retro system and just play the shit out of old games.

Mario Kart is fun all of the time.
Except on Wii.
I don't want to move. I just want the car to move.
xD

I think wii is the only platform I've played it on... I guess it shows.

SNES! All the way :)

Anyway, we should stop hi-jacking this thread.

I wish my introduction thread had been hijacked:(

haha yeah i'm getting jealous

this is one of the most popular ones i've seen

its an omen

It's cause MojoJojo's back.
Go tell him to hijack your thread.
