Hello internets. I'm greatrayray, a strapping young lad from new jersey who resents music television like anyone with half a brain should.

but i digress. daydream nation gave me my first taste of SY about 9 months ago, but the Goo vids got me hooked. As of right now i'd consider myself a pretty solid fan, and right now I'm digging hits of sunshine, do you believe in rapture? & expressway to yr. skull.

i hope to attend my first SY show at the Electric Factory this summer.

if you want to find me, my other stomping grounds are on the flaming lips forums, where i will continue to comment obsessively :P

Um...

i play a bunch of instruments and my goals include growing ironic facial hair and getting paid to blow shit up.

i hope you'll find me as an essential member on the SY boards. Cheers.

Welcome to you both! Got a link to the FLips board, rayray? I've been thinking about joining a FLips board, but have been too lazy thus far.

lol i have no idea if you got that link... for some reason, my posts aren't showing up.

(i look like a real n00b right now)

Uh, no I didn't get it. I think for some reason new users' links are being blocked. It happened in a couple other threads. I think it's an anti-spam measure.

Is it http://flaminglips.infopop.cc/eve ?

yup. welcome aboard :D

we need less strapping young lads and more strapping young ladies.

go back to the hell from whence ye came, foul daemons.

Hmm, probably should've hit this thread first when I first registered.

Long time lurker finally broken down. I owe this board quite alot. Probably never would've gotten into Deerhoof, Bardo Pond, Sun City Girls, Thinking Fellers Union Local #282, Polvo, Slint, Lightning Bolt, Captain Beefheart and plenty of others without this board. Well maybe eventually, but it probably would've taken alot longer. The Sun City Girls are Wacked and Wonderful! is one of my favorite threads.

Hmm, I got into Sonic when I was 13 I think(I'm 21 now). My brother gave me a tape of Experimental Jet Set and I really absorbed the hell out of it, I enjoy it alot. Then one day I taped the Silver Rockets, Kool Things documentary and decided I had to track down whatever album had Teen Age Riot on it. For the longest time after that I thought Titanium Expose was called Sugar Kane because of that doc. And it just goes from there.

I'm a big fan of film, music, the music goes without saying, but I feel compelled to mention it, um retro PC gaming, some television and all that other basic stuff.

I play guitar, drums, bass on occasion but with no real skill on the bass. I'll start playing my piano more actively eventually. I have one band, tried to work in three others but all fell through.

I hate college and some say I type too much. Anyway, it's fun to have finally registered.

Have you played the Bucky O'Hare game for NES?

It's quite an intense experience.

Yeah, but only on an emulator, and the rom was corrupt, so it was impossible to beat one of the stages. And yeah, it was pretty intense. Maybe not Megaman intense, but it's a fun game I think.

Hi, Well i used to be on this board a while back under the username Saucer-Like, i think. I stopped posting a couple of weeks before the new board was put up, mainly because my computer broke down. And to save the people reading this from a very tedious story i didn't get get back on the internet until recently and i've been trying to register ever since but for some reason it had been disabled by the administrator. Anyway nice to be back, hope everyone is well.

my cat meows some.

mentally you picture my cat, but I have not told you the type of cat which I have.

perhaps you even picture Sailor, from Wild at Heart.

but I warn you, my cat is always with me. MEOW.

My cartridge has the same problem. One of the bosses is impossible to beat, but I just use the password sytem to get around it. It's one of the best platformers on the NES.

So hello, I just joined. I figured it would be a fun way to pass the time when I'm supposed to be working. :) Desk jobs are great. Anyway, I'm 26/f and I live in Montgomery, AL. Jello. :)

you had me at /f!

ooh and you smoke too. smoking is sexy. I do it all the time.

Well, I heard somewhere that all the cool kids are doing it, so I had to jump off the cliff too. Just call me a lemming.

Welcome to all you newbies.

you just gave me inspiration to quit. I'm not very cool at all.

^^^ I see what you did there.

I'm not very cool either. But I play a cool kid on tv.

OMG we are going to be BEST friends. I play a rocket surgeon on the internet.

What did I do?
