Good Morning Starshine, The Earth Says Hello
 

Hi.

My name is Dresden.

I used to hang around this forum years and years ago under a different name. I was reminded of it about a week ago and to my surprise it was still around! I used to be a terrible, angsty little thing with awful taste in music and even worst taste in banter.

I look forward to redeeming myself and having good conversations about music.

I'm into stuff like Fleetwood Mac, City and Colour, Amanda Palmer. My husband surprised me with tickets to Fleetwood Mac in October and it's on "devil's night" so I think the portal will be open and the time will be right for me to siphon a little bit of Stevie's magic. A girl can dream...

Welcome!

If I were to refer to you as the Za Lord, would that make sense to you?

Negative. Is that a Dresden Files reference?

Indeed it is.

I get asked about that series a lot. But my name is in reference to the band The Dresden Dolls. I think Dresden is a really pretty word.

Ah, okay. I do use the occasional Dresden Files reference, but I'll try not to beat a dead horse, because I'm sure it can get annoying when you run into some of us who are more...enthusiastic...about The Dresden Files.

I agree, "Dresden" is a really pretty word. Apparently it evolved from a word meaning "people of the forest." I'm not familiar with The Dresden Dolls, but I'll look them up. Thank you for pointing me toward new (to me) music.

My brother is a big fan of the Dresden Dolls. I know I've heard a fair bit of it, but I can't remember any. It's an electronica sort of thing... or something with pianos... I'm not sure anymore actually. I get certain bands he likes confused with each other.

Anyway, welcome!

Welcome (back) to MB, Dresden! :wavey:

Nice intro-thread title! We don't get many refs to the musical Hair on here. And nice avatar too: I remember that album being hugely popular, although personally I prefered Fleetwood Mac back when Peter Green was still a member. If you don't remember Albatros yourself, you could ask your parents about it. ;)

Who were you before?

I would rather have a clean slate. I remember you. I don't think you liked me much.

:laughing: Fair dues. ;)

Get ready for so many musical references! :D

Which, to be fair I don't think a lot of the community liked me. I wasn't aggressive, I was just a whiny little teenager then and I don't even like the person I was. Just an overall unlikeable person. :laughing:

If it makes you feel any better, I started posting in 2011 and am a fundamentally different person now. It’s a wonder what seven years can do.

Welcome back.

When I first joined this site I was loud, crude, and piggish. Now I'm a whole new person.

When I first started here no matter what musician was being discussed I always claimed that they were raped by their limo driver. I got a warning from some bitch mod and those posts aren’t coming up in the search engine.

Now I’m like cool af.

Welcome uh yeah I love rumors.

I know landslide isn’t on rumours but did you know she wrote it wigged out on quaaludes recovering from being raped by her limo driver?

I mean it’s hard to believe considering but in this case it’s true

“Even children get older - I’m getting older too”

Wtf Stevie???

Who with a desirable level of pulse doesn't like Rumours?

Probably elph

Elph is not desirable.

Isn't this against forum rules? Multiple accounts etc.

Iiiii triiiiied to get banned for thiiiiis but no diiiiice. Iiiiif you thiiiiink you can succeed where Iiiii faiiiiiled then go ahead.

I haven't touched that account since like 2010. I could see the error in using multiple accounts concurrently or after being banned, but 8 years later...Nahhh

Only JWB can’t be forgiven.

What if Dresden is JWB?

MAGA's who like Rumours are forgiven.

He’s not. JWB comes on fire tearing this morher****er down.

Whatever he did now that Plankton correctly stepped down maybe his next reincarnation will be given a pass.

If you refer to your own musical appetite this way, you'll probably fit back in just fine here.

Welcome back.

I vow to never defend my guilty pleasure music as "technically good" and instead accept my choices as an unpopular opinion and move on with my life. :p:

Welcome!

I'm not incredibly familiar with Fleetwood Mac, but I do really like Then Play On:
