Guess the DUer based on one sentence describing his/her musical taste

[mvd]

I'll start the activity with post #1 below. Remember to follow DU rules and either give a neutral or positive sentence.

[mvd]

1. This DUer..

is a fan of R.E.M. and absolutely loves New Adventures In Hi-Fi.

[mvd]

2. I'll be a bit more specific

This DUer is a fan of R.E.M. and mentions New Adventures In Hi-Fi as his/her favorite 90s album from them.

[southpaw]

3. tinfoil tiaras... right?

[mvd]

4. Correct!

[tinfoil tiaras]

11. w00t! I'm mentioned in a "Name that DUer" thread!

:D :party:

[southpaw]

5. My Turn!

This Pink Floyd fan's avatar is the arch nemesis of my avatar...

on edit: Live 8 not withstanding...

[asthmaticeog]

6. This DUer's record collection sounds, collectively,

like throwing pots and pans down a flight of stairs, yet astonishingly, a lot of it actually rocks. :thumbsup:

[dolo amber]

9. Gotta be hedges

[asthmaticeog]

14. Gotta be his WIFE answering...

:eyes:

You could have left this one open for a non-ringer, you know.

[dolo amber]

15. You're mean

:(

[asthmaticeog]

18. You knew what you were getting into, D.

[underpants]

17. Can you narrow it down some?

Let's just cut half the field out-are they a Wilco fan or not?

[asthmaticeog]

19. Good question. Hey, Hedges? Are you A Wilco Fan?

[Ptah]

7. This DUer has her own jazz show.

[mvd]

10. progmom?

[Ptah]

41. Yes, it's her.

No, the picture is not progmom,
it's Helen Forrest.

One of the musicians she has introduced me to.

[Blue-Jay]

8. This DUer only listens to bands that no one else has ever fucking heard of

[billyskank]

12. GirlinContempt?

:shrug:

[asthmaticeog]

13. That could be dozens of people.

Could you refine? :shrug:

[mainegreen]

16. Me? nt

:P

I kid, no one here knows what I listen to.

[Duncan Grant]

29. primate1

esoteric expert extraordinaire :thumbsup:

[ghostsofgiants]

38. Haha, surprised I got a mention.

:hi:

[flvegan]

39. My first thought, actually.

When I saw this post, I said to myself, "self...this is primate1"

no, really.

[Duncan Grant]

51. I aged-out of the contemporary music demographic long ago.

If I ever need to find music that's truly cutting-edge, I know who to call. :hi:

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to see if my Dead Kennedys and Nina Hagen vinyl is still around...

[ghostsofgiants]

57. Damn, nice to know my taste in music is appreciated, haha.

(Though flvegan tends to give me props on it quite a bit also, ahha.)

[GirlinContempt]

35. WHO?!

Uhm. RandomKoolzip?

[tigereye]

44. I know, I know!

is it someone who channels Lester Bangs? :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. This DU'er..........

likes Americana........

[mvd]

22. GOPisEvil?

Hi, Peggy! Could be one of several. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. My dear mvd.......

Not who I had in mind!

Good try, though!

:hi:

[hippywife]

60. I can guess three people who

fit this category besides myself. They would be Redstone, Oedipus Rex, and Shine. Any of them who you were thinking of?

:hi: Peggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

63. My dear hippywife!

Nope! Sorry.........thought it would be obvious....... :shrug:

[mvd]

21. OK - one more from me

Beatles are his/her favorite band, and his/her favorite kinds of pop music are power pop, quirky pop, singer/songwriter pop and some plain pop/rock.

BTW, you can do one for yourself.

[ForrestGump]

24. That mvd weirdo

I'm guessing... :P

[mvd]

25. LOL - you're right

:-)

[mvd]

26. One more before I go

This DUer likes almost exclusively new wave music.

[ForrestGump]

27. Ms New Wave Chick of 1981?

Exclusively?

Shoot. I knew there had to be something that kept her from being perfect. :D

I mean, apart from the whole husband thing...



:hide:

[mvd]

28. That's who I had in mind

You're good at this!

[ForrestGump]

32. When I'm good I'm bad, but when I'm bad, I'm

...um....I think I got that wrong. Let me go back and try again...

[NewWaveChick1981]

30. Hey, I resemble that remark!

:hi: :rofl:

:*

[ForrestGump]

33. Uh-oh. She's on to me.

I suppose now I'll just have to resign myelf to the spanking I so richly deserve. :-(

Let me just go get my leather mask and that economy size tub of Crisco...








:hide:

[asthmaticeog]

31. One word: OASIS.

Surprised this one hasn't been dropped yet...

Score one for asthmaticeog.

[ghostsofgiants]

34. Well played, mon ami.

[tigereye]

45. aack, I'm too late!

[Maestro]

36. This DUer loves Slayer.

Who, by the way, just released their killer new album!

[ghostsofgiants]

37. CaliforniaPeggy.

Duh. :P

[flvegan]

42. That's 2 fucking keyboards you owe me.

I'm starting a tab...

[ghostsofgiants]

59. How did I ruin the first one?

[Maestro]

54. Who knows?

CP, do you ever feel like going into the "pit?" :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

64. My dear Maestro!

I guess not, since I do not know what the "pit" is!

Never been to a rock concert.........I know, I'm pathetic!

:cry:

[ghostsofgiants]

68. A mosh pit.

Kids jump around, bang into each other and shove each other around. It's an interesting phenomenon. It can range from fun (pogo dancing, etc.) to really aggressive and stupid (slam dancing).

[CaliforniaPeggy]

70. Oh, yes.........

Now I remember.......

And, no, I have never been in one.....

Sounds like it's just as well, too! I guess they can get pretty violent...

:hi:

[Maestro]

98. I personally never understood the mosh pit.

I guess I am getting old.

[ghostsofgiants]

99. Me neither...

And I'm still a young'n. Slam dancing, especially. Nothing wrong with a little pogoing.

[tigereye]

56. ah, that one's too easy

it's Mr. Slayer..

[Maestro]

97. I don't have too much dirt on people

so I go for the obvious. :)

[leftofthedial]

40. he was country when country wasn't cool

[Maestro]

55. Redstone?

:shrug:

[leftofthedial]

71. not who I had in mind,

but that's probably true!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

43. Straight, but listens to Queercore. nt

[ZombieNixon]

47. swag?

:shrug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

48. Yep!

Congratulations! You win NOTHING!

[ZombieNixon]

49. Fuckin' SWEET!!

:D

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

50. I figured, it's just want you always wanted.

[tigereye]

46. really really despises Sheryl Crow

well, maybe that covers too much territory! ;)

[asthmaticeog]

52. Yeah, that's like the fifth description in this thread that could be me.

Gotta be more specific, Tige. ;)

[tigereye]

53. worships GWAR

it wasn't you I was thinking of that time, asth. ;)


yours would have to be more um, mercurial, no, kinesthetic?

[asthmaticeog]

61. I HOPE you weren't thinking of me

when you posted "Worships GWAR!"

I am, alas, neither mercurial nor kinesthetic. I'm just a dickish indie-geek. Really easy to read, actually. ;)

[tigereye]

95. damn I didn't know you had a journal

I really need to update mine!

no, I was actually thinking of a buddy here has an amusing love of gore.

[fudge stripe cookays]

88. ME!

:D

[tigereye]

91. well, get in line!

:hi:


note: I don't despise her, but others think I should! ;)

how are ya, FSC? How are things? I should send you a pm, huh?

[tigereye]

58. would sleep with Brian Eno if given the chance

(I'm writing my own jokes at this point...)

[jpgray]

74. XNASA - Also he would wear his Bryan Ferry costume for the event

[tigereye]

90. actually I was thinking first of Rabrrrrr

he's gonna come and berate me now, for sure.... :scared:

but X would do as well.

[Rabrrrrrr]

92. I don't know if I'd go that far...

I'm certainly a fan, and he's one of the most important figures in the history of rock music, but I'd sleep with Pink Floyd or Zappa or Rush first.

Though Eno is entirely and utterly never getting the respect, kudos, and fawning he deserves. Most of what is rock music, technologically speaking wise, simply wouldn't exist without him.

And my name is Rabrrrrrr, not Rabrrrrr :spank:

[tigereye]

93. whoops, forgot to count the rrrrrrrr's

how many are there? I don't have my glasses on.... :rofl:

[HuskerDU]

62. Crazy fool who constantly babbles about obscure and forgotten

bands. Heck his screenname is one!

[Fenris]

65. This DUer owns at least 23 Motorhead CDs.

[flamingyouth]

69. WHEEEEE!

I got a mention! I got a mention! :woohoo:

[name not needed]

66. It blows goats.

[ghostsofgiants]

67. Finally, someone actually talking about me.

[MrScorpio]

72. I guess no one wants to talk abut me

:-(

[ghostsofgiants]

75. This DUer has a pretty kickass online radio show...

And some damn fine taste in hip-hop.

:thumbsup:

[MrScorpio]

77. That would be ME!!!

YIPPPPEE!

[catbert836]

73. Steely Dan.

Go.

[In_The_Wind]

85. WritingIsMyReligion

[WritingIsMyReligion]

87. Yaaaaaaargh!

I was WAITING for someone to post that.

:P :P :P

:hi:

[jpgray]

76. Among those he loves: Trane, the Dead, and the Police

[Magrittes Pipe]

78. ChavezTakesaShit

[GalleryGod]

79. A hectoring non-stop know it all

Narrow that ONE down !?:smoke:

[dolo amber]

83. RandomKoolzip

Whoops, replied to the wrong post. :evilgrin:

[GalleryGod]

86. Nope. More prominent personage

:rofl: :hide: :rofl:

[Magrittes Pipe]

80. Purist who dismisses all that is not within his narrowly-defined...

...vision of "rock" and fancies himself a letter-day Joe Carducci; while at the same time being, inexplicably, a self-loathing Deadhead.

[GirlinContempt]

81. Zippy?

:P

[Magrittes Pipe]

82. Too easy?

;)

[GirlinContempt]

84. Maybe just a lil

;)

[mvd]

89. OK, here's one

This member is a big fan of the Corrs like I am.

[LSK]
