Queen T

Hello People,

They call me the River Trout. Give me an instrument, I'll play the hell out of it. Give me a song, I'll review the hell out of it. I have perfect pitch and perfect taste and am pretty sure your opinions are wrong. My interests include, but are not limited to: roller skating, mariah carey, job interviewing, hugging, joking, laughing, snacking, 4th of july, movie commentary, dancing at harry o's but only in my dreams, plate tectonics, interneting, writing lists, law & order, electronic communication, saving animals, saving tahoe, family reunions, 90's R&B, R&D, critiquing, making decisions, and blogging.

My top 10 albums could still change, but for now, in no particular order:

Houses of the Holy - Led Zep
Moondance - Van Morrison
All Eyez on Me - 2pac
Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
The Lonesome Crowded West - Modest Mouse
It Was Written - Nas
The Queen is Dead - Smiths
Self Titled - Sublime

Warmest Regards,
R.T.

Meet Joel

My name is Joel Baer.  I'm 26 years old and work for a plastic company.  I graduated from Brigham Young University where I received a Bachelor's Degree in American Studies.  This means that I am well qualified to study America.  But it also means that I am well qualified to judge America with the sort of authority that can only be vested by a private, religiously-affiliated university.  

My life is mostly a series of embarrassments and regrets lasting varying amounts of time- one always replacing another.  My greatest regret thus far is that I am not taller.  Second only to this regret is that I did not accept Stephanie Headly's offer to exclusively date in the 6th grade. She wore a poofy adidas jacket and basketball shoes, plus she was well connected and had hot friends.  She was impregnated by a more developed suitor in the 8th grade and disappeared shortly thereafter.

Knowing these few things is the same as knowing me.  And to know me is to love me.  

Here are my Top Ten Favorite Albums:

Abbey Road- The Beatles

Blue Album- Weezer

Zenyatta Mondatta- Police

Nevermind- Nirvana

Surfer Rosa- Pixies

Birth of Soul- Ray Charles

The Clash- The Clash

Here's Little Richard- Little Richard

Aftermath- Rolling Stones

Pet Sounds- Beach Boys

Sean

My name is Sean David Hetherington. My life is the shit. I wake at 11:30, watch TV for an hour, then get out of bed. I get dressed and go directly to the skatepark. Here I meet up with kids whom like to call me "Head" or "Blington." These kids have names like "Roastbeef" and Kottonmouth," and they're normally too stoned to skate for very long so we end up at McDonald's within an hour. We eat. We go back to the skatepark. By this time the local high school kids are at the park and it's crowded. Sometime we go skate somewhere else, sometimes we don't. Then I just come home and play FIFA 09 on World Class Difficulty. I never lose. When I do get close to losing I just reset my XBOX 360 before the loss can be recorded. Next, I look around my house for stuff I could return at Costco. If there is nothing worthwhile I go back to the skatepark and skate for an hour or so until it closes at 8. Everything I do after 8 PM is highly personal and hard for others to understand. Needless to say, I usually don't fall asleep until 4 AM, so i've had more than enough time to figure out how to make my top 10 album list look as cool as possible. It's not in order:

Led Zeppelin IV
Led Zeppelin II
Fugazi Repeater + 3 Songs
David Bowie Ziggy Stardust
The Kinks Village Green Preservation Society
Wu-Tang Clan Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
The Strokes Is This It?
Interpol Turn on the Bright
The Rolling Stones Aftermath
Three Mile Pilot Another Sea, Another Desert

Phil

I'm Phil. This is my second attempt at a bio. As you can see below, i LOVE emo. I also love these things: the South, old people, zoning out in front of the television, tennis, 5 inch tall flip flops and retelling jokes. I also become a girl as soon as i get in water, or if i reach an elevation of over ten feet, excluding planes.

Jimmy eat world – clarity
Low- things we lost in the fire
Get up kids- four minute mile
Mountain goats- all hail west texas
Explosions in the sky- the earth is not a cold dead place
Saves the day- through being cool
Smashing pumpkins – meloncollie and the infinite sadness
Neutral milk hotel- aeroplane over the sea
Built to spill- there’s nothing wrong with love
At the drive-in- relationship of command

Bob

I'm qualified to review music because I've listened to music my whole life and I've played guitar for 14 years. Beat that, internet.

My top ten favorite albums, in no particular order:

My Bloody Valentine: Loveless
Death Cab for Cutie: We have the Facts and We're Voting Yes
