My name is Michael. I just discovered this message board, which looks pretty entertaining. A few things about me off the top of my head are, I'm a vegetarian, an alcoholic (not bragging, just being honest), and I'm unemployed which means I listen to music practically every second I'm awake. I was born in Chicago, live near there now, but I've spent the last few years in St. Louis and plan on moving back there soon.
Some of my favorite bands/musicians are the following:
Ours, Deadboy and the Elephantmen, Days of the New, Jeff Buckley, Morphine, Neutral Milk Hotel, Queens of the Stone Age, Sebadoh, the Apples in Stereo, the Decemberists, the Delgados, the Dirty Projectors, the Flaming Lips, the Melvins, the Pixies, and V.A.S.T.
My all-time favorite, since I was about five years old, are the Doors.
Some albums I absolutely love from this year:
The Arcade Fire - Funeral
Death From Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine
A.C. Newman - The Slow Wonder
Devendra Banhart - Rejoicing of the Hands
Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days
Rilo Kiley - More Adventurous
Frog Eyes - Folded Palm
Ted Leo & the Pharmacists - Shake the Sheets
The Black Keys - Rubber Factory
The Dresden Dolls - Self-titled
TV on the Radio - Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes
I suppose that's enough of an introduction. My AIM is thisotherkingdom as well, so feel free to IM me any time to chat. Especially now right now, since I'm buzzed and talkative!
