[killerofjoy605]

Real name: 
James but most of my friends call me the antichrist so that would be fine too.

Favorite Bands: 
There are WAY too many but my favorite is Motionless in White, instead of trying to type thirty out I'll say my favorite record companies which are Fearless, Rise, Hopeless, Fueled By Ramen, and Reprise, sadly enough the only band I can think of that I really like and isn't on one of those is Marilyn Manson

What's your Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr etc.?: 
No body will take their time to click on mah links anyway

Hobbies (outside of record collecting): 
Photography, being an asshole, writing, spreading my legs, drawing, and giving birth
Play in a band? Run a record label? Link us!:
If I could spread my legs that far don't you think I would?

Random things you want us to know about you: 
I have payed way too much to get what I want on vinyl, like once I spent (feel free to shoot me for this) $15 on a 7". Paramore was the first band I really liked and I used to like shitty popular music for the simple fact it was popular (that was a LONG time ago). Also collecting gives me a (good) feeling that I have never felt before in which I have become obsessed with, kind of like when Karla Fay Tucker experienced her most intense orgasms well killing people, fun times.

how's the 8th grade?

welcome aboard. 

[killerofjoy605]

how's the 8th grade?

welcome aboard. 

You got 8th grade out of my friends calling me the antichrist? Is that an average thing for 8th graders to do now? Anyway I do not happen to be in the 8th, as collecting would be well out of my price range if I was. But I believe I should say thank you for welcoming me... if it was sincere.

[hobohunter48]

You can't be above 10th grade after an introductory post like that.

You can't be above 10th grade after an introductory post like that.

I am not going to defend anything about my age. I find that age doesn't matter, many people younger than me have more life experience then I have as I have had much more life experience than many of those older than me. And if you insult one for the simple fact that they are young I do not find that right for they have no choice in that matter.

I'm just some guy on the internet, no need to take it so personally.  Lighten up!

Sorry if I came off as mad, I didn't take it personally I just see a lot of people on this and other places insulting people for their age. I simply find the idea funny that let's say a 52 year old would insult a 7 year old for the simple fact that they're 7. (I am not seven if you think that was implied)

Random things you want us to know about you:
I've met more people from the internet than I'd like to admit because of last.fm & tumblr, I watch more ghost shows than anything else on TV, and I'm really good at putting together IKEA furniture. If I like you, I'll probably send you lots of pics of my cat and emojis. My dream is to be in a pop-punk band, but I can't play anything or sing

[kilahda]

name: Piia (but surprisingly many native english speakers spell it for some odd reason as Pila, to the point I've started to save the record mailers that have my name written this way)

fave bands: Rise Against, Karnivool & Converge. +boiling under: Touché Amoré. The bands I would (and have) spent the most money on to see them live.

social media stuff: Iast.fm is my favourite

hobbies: gig road-trips (for example, check my post on best shows you've been to topic) +taking pics of pigeons in different cities.

random things: I cannot get sick of ryebread (finnish one, it's the best over here). For the love of food and music I have ryebread tattoo on my right foot and vinyl record on my left.

And I guess I could mention, I'm on this board mostly as an observer as I'm quite new to the collecting game. It's fascinating to browse through different topics where information is available, eg. when it comes to choosing a record player etc (I def want to upgrade at some point so these topics help). Language barrier makes it tad bit harder to understand all that technical mambo jambo but trying my best! +already made couple purchase thanks to those PO topics. Cheers for those!

[wexzer]

I realized I've never introduced myself so I might as well join in on the fun:

Name:
Rolf
 

Favorite bands:

Rise Against, Converge, Thrice, Karnivool and Touché Amoré

Hobbies:
Having no life is definitely my main hobby despite that well, collecting records is pretty obvious.

But yea, I love to travel and going to gigs, so if the money allows it then that's what I do basically.

 

Random things you want us to know about you:
Hmm random stuff...random it shall be. Well, I enjoy watching football and I'm an Arsenal supporter and be that for over 10 years. Like Kilahda I can't get sick of ryebread, I guess it's a scandinavian thing, and it's unfortunately true that they do have better ryebread in Finland, and yes it's super important to tell everybody how awesome ryebread is. More random info is that I've a cat called Chester and I absolutely love furfriends and hope to get more one day. Like Kilahda I'm just mostly lurking around here on the board, since it's good place to find news about restocks and pre-orders.
