Introduce Yourself!

[CaliforniaNoise]

Hello  VC, I’ve been a lurker for a while so I figured I’d finally register and start participatin’.

 

Real name:
Emily

Favorite Bands:
This changes often but some of my go-to favorites are:

 

Rilo Kiley, Brand New, Blink-182, The American Scene, Styx, Queen, The Cure, Marina & the Diamonds, Missy Higgins, City & Colour, Iron &Wine, The Spill Canvas, Chris LeDoux, Johnny Cash, Kenny Chesney, Mumford & Sons, Taking Back Sunday, Unwritten Law, Fleetwood Mac, Flyleaf, Josh Garrels, Motion City Soundtrack, Neutral Milk Hotel, Relient K, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Linkin Park,  Tegan & Sara, Kansas, Vanessa Carlton, Wakey! Wakey!, Mountain Goats.

 

And I’m just starting to get into Bastille, The 1975, Lorde, The Neighbourhood and more electronic (?) type stuff. I am not sure about it yet though.
 

What's your Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr etc.?:
I don’t have Facebook or Twitter and my Tumblr’s not worth mentioning  ;o

Hobbies (outside of record collecting):
Right now, my ‘hobby’ is mostly job hunting. Other than that, my hobbies include going to shows, working out, reading books, playing video games and spending an incredible amount of time online.

Play in a band? Run a record label? Link us!:
Naw I have zero musical talent and can barely almost hold a tune. 

Random things you want us to know about you:

I graduated from college in May and I work in healthcare. I just recently (within the last few years) started casually collecting vinyl records but have been fascinated with them since I was a kid. Now that I’m on my own with some semi-disposable income I’ve become more interested in collecting records and am steadily adding to my collection (which I will list somewhere at a later time).

Travel, photography, web design (though I haven't done anything useful in ages), concerts, museums, sipping on finer alcoholic beverages (namely single malt scotch & bourbon), & trying to keep up w/ my hockey (Anaheim Ducks) & soccer/football (Liverpool FC) teams sans television.

I used to make websites for bands... I'm not as cool as I used to be though.

Random things you want us to know about you: 
I think I'd be happy if I could find a way to perpetually wander the globe meeting new people, going to concerts, & seeing everything I possibly could, never settling too long in one place... but alas, I do not (yet) have the means to sustain it indefinitely. 

 

I recently moved to northern Los Angeles suburban hell for a job so I finally decided to splurge on a turntable setup (Pro-ject Debut Carbon/Marantz PM 6004/better speakers & headphones to come...) to play all the vinyl I've been hoarding/amassing for ages.

 

Long time creeper, finally broke down & registered.

36 year old, male

[gt125]

Yo. I'm Grace. I'm 18 (19 in roughly a month and a week). I'm from this shit hole (how pop-punk, I hate my home town) called Manchester in England. I look like a dude and confuse a lot of people, it can be both entertaining and horrible for me. I have a girlfriend who hates the music I love. 

 

I'm kinda new to this whole vinyl stuff. I like to have physical copies of music because I feel that it's more special. I've only really ever collected CD's, but I want to start putting together a vinyl collection. Whether I buy a vinyl player or not is a decision of which the conclusion will come to me in the foreseeable future.

 

Feel free to add my social networks as I need more friends who like the kind of music I do because I don't know anyone in Manchester who I would deem "cool".

As for my musical interests, I like both hardcore and pop-punk. If you consider you me at six and all time low as pop punk then you will upset me greatly. I won't hate you, I just won't take a mutual liking to you. Ever. Favourite bands would include neck deep, roam, real friends, the story so far, backtrack, expire, terror, rotting out, heavy hands, suburban scum, incendiary, cold world, trial and error, war charge and a whole load of others. 

 

I won't bore you with anymore of my personality, if you want to talk to me, add me on those social networks and we'll be best chums.

I am pretty stoked to have joined the VC community. Thanks for letting me nerd out with all of you.
