Hello (am I really doing this?)
 

Hello,
I'm not very fond of creating my own introduction thread, I prefer when there's that thread where everybody says hello. But okay :shycouch:

As you can see, I'm a big fan of...
metal, hardcore punk and guitar alternative stuff.
Although I listen to almost all kinds of music.

Hoping to have some good talk here.
Thanks,

Yeah, typo.
I don't know how to edit the thread title :/

We don't tolerate typos here.

:banghead:

Fixed.

Welcome to MB.

Thanks!

Welcome to MB, Mo Bounce :wavey:

Your question, "Am I really doing this?", caught my eye because I felt a certain amount of trepidation when I first joined, but I hope that, like me, you won't have any regrets.

Why not tell us about some of your favourite bands? - or tell us about the girl in your avatar; perhaps she's a friend of yours ? ;)

Hey, bud
Is this an actual question or are you just joking? lol
Anyways, the girl is Iggy Azalea.

My favorite bands, that's pretty complicated because I must forget some. Uh, Folk Implosion, Fugazi, Pixies, Pavement, Guided By Voices, Sonic Youth, Galaxie 500, Garbage, Yo La Tengo and the list could definitely go on.
Talking about metal and punk rock, I prefer the old fashioned stuff.

What’s your favorite Sonic Youth record?

^ Yes, just a joke really, Mo.

I don't recognize many of the bands you mention, but I might check out Folk Implosion because of the intriguing name. Thanks.

Really?

The answer here would be pretty obvious, I'd say it's in between Daydream Nation and Dirty. If I had to pick up one of them, it would be Daydream Nation. I also like the self-titled EP a lot.
And to be very honest, I haven't listen carefully to any stuff from NYC Ghost & Flowers onwards.

What about you?

What about you, what are your favorite bands?

And if you're checking The Folk Implosion (which name is said to be a pun on Jon Spencer Blues Explosion), I'd recommend you to start by The New Folk Implosion record. The previous stuff is too lo-fi.

Bad Moon Rising

What do you think of my take on Guided By Voices?

^ There are huge chunks of music I know nothing about tbh, then a few areas and artists that I know in detail. It's about the same for most people I imagine, zooming in on stuff they like and acquiring a patchy kind of expertise about music.

^ Wow! Someone mentioning the JonSpencer Blues Explosion:- https://www.musicbanter.com/jazz-blu...-burnside.html

Like everyone here, I have lots of favourites, Mo. Some that come to mind:-
The Allmans, Soft Machine, La Bottine Souriante, John Fahey, Beefheart, Roy Buchanan, Big Blood, Moondog, Cabaret Voltaire, Hugh Masekela, Dead Combo, Joe Strummer, Dylan etc etc ...

Fair Enough

I’m gonna recommend one song by each band he or she named

Folk Implosion - Natural One

Fugazi - Waiting Room

Pixies - Monkey Gone to Heaven

Pavement - Summer Babe

Guided By Voices - Back to the Lake

Sonic Youth - Society is a Hole

Galaxie 500 - 4th of July

Garbage - Only Happy When It Rains

Yo La Tengo - Tom Courtenay

Briefly met Jon Spencer before a Pussy Galore show.

*Smallpox Champion

That's a pretty good statement.
On the last line, I not only agree with you but I also have some objections on using "indie rock" to classify a music genre. I usually say, to me, indie is just a condition of a band without label or signed to an independent label, it may be even a heavy metal, a reggae or a boy band act.

But I wouldn't figure I would meet someone who's a big fan of Pollard. He's one of the greatest artists to me, and when I say that I'm comparing him to the major stars like Jagger or McCartney and all.

I also read something once about some cities declaring a "Guided by Voices day" or something like that. I can't remember exactly what it was.

Great experience, I bet!

Pussy Galore had a huge influence on me.

As a musician (if you are one) or a human being?
It took me some time til I got into Pussy Galore and other guitar/garage/noisy stuff.

That's great, plenty of good fellows here.

I’m not a musician. As a human being.

OK, thanks for that homework assignment, OH. I'll report back later if I can.

^ Yes, it surprised me too, elphenor, but I really like bands like Can, Faust, T Gristle and Cab Voltaire, mainly when I'm driving around town under pressure, which happens several times every day.

Listen to this crap.

:love:

welcome

hey, welcome! nice picks. i love everything you mentioned , well except maybe garbage (havent heard them for 15+ years..) and i dont know nothing about folk Implosion or iggy azalea (but she seems pretty fit)

Well, then I guess you already know enough lol

^if only there was some bounce in your avatar instead of your username ;)
