Thanks and just so you know, my boyfriend is the bitch.

I'll give you credit on that. At least you can make your point in one post per reply (or 6).

You know, unlike Shayna (welcome, by the way), I just jumped into the middle of things a couple weeks back without formally introducing myself. Perhaps I was out of line. Perhaps I was rude. I apologize and here then is my formal intro:

Favorite SY album & why: Goo (deluxe edition--4 LP set). Goo's the album that first turned me on to SY back in 1990. I love that it's rather "pop"-py in places and that there are enough of those soundscapes to keep things interesting. & I fell in love with that cheesy Dirty Boots vid, for some reason.

Favorite SY member & why: Haven't thought too much about this, but I've had a crush on Kim ever since seeing the Kool Thing vid way back in the good old days. So Kim. Cuz of the crush. & she's probably the bravest female rock singer in the universe ever, takes chances, you know?

Top 3 bands: I like so much music, it's hard to narrow it down. But for purposes here: Fugazi, My Bloody Valentine, and Velvet Underground. (Very close runners-up include Captain Beefheart, Liars (circa Drum's not Dead), Yo La Tengo, and the Ramones, among many others.)

I'm old. 51. But I'm cool. And I wear band T-shirts.

Hi, welcome to the forum. I hope you'll enjoy yourself. See ya later.
