• My shirt would be about three sizes too big, and made out of a 40-year-old Mexican flour sack. Bizarre and comfortable, with a very long history.

    My Shirt would be a blank white shirt with "Haarry for president" In big letters on it. Well not really. I just want that shirt.

  • hmm since when do "elitists" listen to great acts like Panic! At the Disco and Clay Aiken?

  • intro track

    Hello,

    My name is Jean. I attend Salem College in winston-salem, nc. I'm 21 and it's awesome. I am the music critic for the college newspaper, which has its positive and negative sides.

    Positive: I am considered the music person on campus, so fellow students and professors alike ask for my suggestions.
    Negative: Every now and then the editor tells me to review something that she had heard of. It is not my fault that she doesn't listen to music that isn't on the radio.

    I'm a lover of music and attempt to appreciate it in all forms. I'll listen to something at least once before making a judgement. I'm open-minded for the most part. I love listening to albums on vinyl. Music is one of my all-time BFF's.

    long time buds: Radiohead, Ryan Adams, Beck, Minus The Bear, The White Stripes, Beatles, Simon Garfunkle, Sufjan Stevens, Bright Eyes, Death Cab For Cutie, The Streets.
    current buds: Destroyer, Arcade Fire, Animal Collective, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, Sunset Rubdown, Lily Allen, Psapp, We Are Scientists, Tilly & The Wall.

    oh and here i am:

    yeah

  • Welcome Jean!

    It's nice to have another south-eastern person... a lot of us go to Clemson.

    Good to have you Jean! I'm actually (one of) the music critic(s) for my school newspaper too, (though because I am elitist I consider myself the only "real" one).

    We have a really great music forum, so feel free to participate. We've got a really cool game going on right now, too, so you might want to jump in that. Go here for the rules and trash talking and go here for the actual game.

  • thanks guys, I am quite excited. I think this whole world cup of music thing is going to be depressing though.

    jean marie<--- in a french accent
  • Whee, I'm elite! It's such an honor. First off, I'd like to thank God for getting me here. Much love! Then I'd like to thank my parents for having such an awful marriage that it forced me to put headphones on to block out the screams of anguish and suffering. I love you Mom and Dad! Finally, I'd like to thank myself. Because, withuot me, I wouldn't be here right now. You rock, me! Oh, and I guess I should thank the lovely people in charge of this community for accepting me. And what do you know. I just did.

  • cowboy bebop'in???

    jean marie<--- in a french accent
  • Most indubitably. It's more than a television show. It's a way of life.

    Haha, nice acceptance speech spikespeigel. Not too short, not too long, and you wrapped it up before the band started playing and the show went to commercial.

    Good to have you in our group. Feel free to join in our Battle of the Bands Royale (use the links in the above post I made).

  • Yeah, I was looking at that. Going through the thread now to see where I vote. And, yes. I know there was a typo in my acceptance speech. But since I'm elite now, those are trivial matters for the mere mortals.

  • anyone who uses the term 'mere mortals' is awesome in my book.

    jean marie<--- in a french accent
  • And anyone who recognizes the greatness of the phrase 'mere mortals' is, in turn, awesome in my book. Abridged, though it may be.

  • I used to overplay the hell out of the Cowboy Bebop theme. what a totally badass theme song for a show, by the way.

    jean marie<--- in a french accent
  • Oh, definitely. Tank! was one of Yoko Kanno's greatest accomplishments in music. Then again, pretty much all the music from Cowboy Bebop was aces.

  • it was, and man what a fantastic show. there's an all-nite cafe in winston salem, nc and me and some of my buds would be in there and I would just sit and watch the Cowboy Bebop on late adult swim w/ captions, it was hardcore.

    mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  • Hi there

    I'm Simon, from England. I'm 29. I live and work in London in "media" - i.e. advertising. I don't make music, in fact I surround myself with arty types (musicians, film makers, DJs) and patronise the hell out of them to disguise the fact that I sold out long ago, and live in a nice Brixton conversion bought with corporate quids.

    I was in an art rock band at college though, called "Lemzinki".

    My music taste is perhaps not classically elitist, but I like to think there is an elitist angle to deliberately liking mainstream music JUST TO MAKE A POINT.

    Anyway, Girls Aloud are amazing. No really, they are. And so are t.A.T.u. I am also a fan of the Eurovision song contest, and I think there is as much to celebrate in the art of the hook-laden, melodious, dance-craze initiating, flash-in-the-pan 3 minute pop track than there is in the deliberately obscure and challenging. In fact, I like to look for the "pop" in everything- pop is an attitude not a genre.

    And anyway, I have a 1st class degree in History of Art, so that's quite elite.

    Thanks for admitting me. Promise to post.

    Great to have you, Simon. And don't tell anyone, but I own a t.A.T.u. album myself.

    Pop is brilliant, that's what makes it's pop!

    I'm a fan of Terry Wogans' commentary on Eurovision, it's always fantastic. I'm not usually a fan of the music, although it's always good for a laugh. I will never laugh at Daz Sampson though, I shall only cringe..

    ..and then weep.

    Haha, I'm loving his tags
