Hello all, And now for the intro proper... After my little missive (and accompanying apology) a while back, and what with the recent register mailings, I thought it about time I contributed to the list again. Age:19 Occupation: Another student, this time studying Linguistics, here at the University of Essex, in Colchester. Been into B+S since about September/October 1996, after hearing "Judy" on Mark Radcliffe (who I have to thank for introducing me to the whole of this type of music-more of that later). My favourite B+S song is probably Judy, and I own IYFS and the 3 EPs (DOW-CD, LLPJ-CD,7,12, 369-CD,7,12).I saw the band live in Oxford in August, where I met Katrina and David. A quick little profile of what I listen to: (i'll try not to make this too long,and I really hope no-body minds me doing this) I've been listening to Hip-Hop for 8/9 years now, and UK Hip-Hop exclusively for the last 4. I've been into Jungle and Happy Hardcore since '95, and am a semi-regular raver, And basically have been into pop/rock/guitar music (call it what you want, I don't think there's one unifying term to describe the music I like outside of Hip-Hop and Hardcore dance) since about Sept. 1996. The main bands I like in this genre are B+S (obv!!), Kenickie and the Sneaker Pimps. But, since I started listening to these types of music, my tastes have broadened significatly. This month (well October/early Nov) I've bought Ash, The Shirehorses,Dweeb, China Drum, B+S, plus various Hip-Hop and Jungle singles and albums (this might give you lot a small idea of what I like). Anyway, you'll have to excuse me if this message rambles or is boring or unimportant as I'm feeling highly unwell at the moment, and my brain is absolutely swimming, as I've just had to sort my way through 215 messagesn (a whole lot for me), 99% of 'em from you lot. Anyway, the London meet sounds great. Colchester is 50 mins. away, and my home tome is Reading (a big HIYA! to Mussadiq, mail me privately if you want to compare notes), so if it falls at a point when I'm home, then that wouldn't be a prob. So kids, that's about it, I'll speak to you all again soon (I promise,) Love, GIDEONxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
