Re: Introduce Yourselves
Oooook ... well at first i was really happy i saw this thread and realised i had never really introduced myself..... then i read on and the posts by Wubwubwubwubwhatever (STFU)
sorta put a negative buzz on the place... so i had to decide whether i wanted to expose myself to this.. so ive decided to try and freshen up the atmosphere...new start....fresh breath.... BRAND NEW DAY! Hi...my name is Dave I am studying The History of Art and Architecture with French in Dublin and am mad for the photography and music production. I am currently on a year off books (*ahem*finding myself*ahem*) and living in Paris. I am always making music and am unimaginably influenced and encouraged by the constant development and ingenuity of Underworld. I started listening to underworld proper in about 2003, a bit late for me considering i had really started listening to dance music back when "Experience" was on tape and i would nab it from my brothers room and enjoy the funny voices and the madness..was like a sonic playground for me... anyway skip to a Prodigy gig in the 00's and having my first proper rebirth of the soul through the medium of dance...i came home from that completely changed and in need of a real live dance performance... It had to be live and it had to be proper hard dance... i asked my brother and he handed me the brand new Trionisphere Live" by Kerri Chandler....and "Everything Everything" Now i knew of Underworld and had listened to them once or twice...but Everything Everything changed well...everything.. and i listened to it, and it alone (no joke...it did not leave my disc man) for maybe 16months... it recaptured exactly the huge emotion and power that i had felt at that prodigy gig...i had not much time for buying cd's as i was in a big exam year and it represented an escape for me...i could close my eyes and see myself in the crowd dancing and seeing the music....it got me through that rough patch... i bought the albums soon after and have been gettin anything i can get my hands on ever since.... Best live experience must be Electric Picnic last year when the happiness was indescribable and seeing them just losing themselves onstage like i had never before...every moment of it was unforgettable.. Best personal experience is more personal through the medium of the computer...and that was when Karl (actually) answered (!!! not just a "yes" haha) on their october radio show last year.... though he did slag me on my grammar... That was when it really hit me that they were really the most connected with their fans in the whole music world... Fav song...ehm either Jumbo, Trim or Spoonman...though like i said..its the live element that is forever my favourite..and if its done well i listen to it a lot....luckily Underworld are master performers! I am really happy to spend time here, and chuffed whenever i get any sort of response to anything...a lot of really cool people, a LOT of really great music too, and their is a real solid community of happiness and love... i dig it...and will do for a while i think... thankyou for having me! hope the air is a little fresher now |
Re: Introduce Yourselves
hello everyone!
i've been lurking this forum since... um, forever (that's a lie, probably since two years ago) and, since i'm working now and it gets a little bit boring sometime to time, i decided to finally create an account here. i've been a fan since '96, pearl's girl did the trick for me. underworld is my other fav band besides radiohead. since i live at the end of the world, getting UW records, besides OSTs, is extremely difficult. i think my first UW cd was pearl's girl EP, a gift made by my father, who, for my good fortune, travels a lot. i was hooked since then. for now, i'm collecting old releases, my last purchase was spikee/dogman go woof 12", which i'm still waiting to arrive. i've only seen them live once - which was a crazy surprise cos i remember opening the newspaper and seeing a photo of k+r on it, i rushed to get a VIP ticket and arrived 4hours early to the gig. i was in rail and i've recorded in my mind the whole thing. it was freaking amazing. even if it was a little bit short, i was with a HUGE smile plastered on my face. other than that, i work (as a designer), eat, sleep and have fun like normal people do :P i also collect records and have a soft spot for vodka, thing i had to leave because some stupid dietary sickness i developed last year when i was living in canada. i also speak spanish and french. that's it. |
Re: Introduce Yourselves
I don't think I need any introduction.

Re: Introduce Yourselves
Hi all,
I'm Miki. Eighteen, female, Japanese-Australian, dwelling in the wonderful city of Melbourne. Unlike many of you, I only got into Underworld a few months ago, despite being an electronic music fan since the age of fifteen! Woke up in a friend's bed after a drunken night out as he was playing 'Dirty Epic', was intrigued, fell asleep again, went home and Googled "I get my kicks on channel six", fell in love from there. Despite the short amount of time I've been aware of them, I'm still willing to put them up there in my favourite bands (along with artists like Massive Attack, DJ Shadow, Portishead, Tricky, UNKLE, etc). I've found that there ain't nothing better than a long train trip home in the dead of night with Hyde and Smith's grooves to keep you company. As someone who considers herself a writer I am particularly intrigued by Hyde's lyrics - fragmented, poetic, beautiful even in their darkest moments. Favourite songs? 'Dirty Epic', 'Stagger', 'Dark Train', 'Banstyle/Sappys Curry', 'Moaner' and of course, 'Born Slippy.Nuxx'. Desperately hanging out for the opportunity to hear some of these live in Melbourne, one day! I start uni next year. In the meantime I'm working and enjoying hobbies such as photography (my Canonet QL17 is my best friend), writing poetry and short stories, reading, painting, chainsmoking, listening to music, going out with good people, and getting lost in the suburbs and city of Melbourne. You may be hearing more from me, soon, as Iconastasia on DirtyRadio - currently in the process of chucking together a demo show for them. Pleasure meeting you all - I look forward to indulging this newfound obsession with everybody here! (PS: I may or may not have a teeny-tiny crush on Karl Hyde.) |
Re: Introduce Yourselves
aah, melbourne - what a city!

Re: Introduce Yourselves
I'm old school so reintroducing myself here
you might remember me as adj789 I don't post very often though Underworld is still the greatest 'insert genre here' group |
Re: Introduce Yourselves
Hello Fishtank! Welcome (back)!
|
Re: Introduce Yourselves
okay, hello. long time lurker occasional poster.
i think it was born slippy that got me into underworld, as a teen that song was like, everywhere, much more appealing to me than the phony britpop war occuring at school at the time. 97. school trip to france. borrowed a cassette of now!35. being the only one awake as the bus ploughed through industrial france with pearls girl on my walkman. priceless. a love starts. never had the chance to see the band live. gutted. owned at least six or seven copies of Everything, Everything on CD, keep wearing it out. Three or four DVD's too. Buy too much vinyl. Massive Warp fanboy. V. |

Lots of new people on the boards these days... make sure you introduce yourself to the masses here so we can get to know you!

Re: Introduce Yourselves
member since 2003, but lurked mostly. hail from San Diego, California.
apparently my account was destroyed when the forum went from brown to white, so consider this a proper introduction. been a fan since I saw Trainspotting. UW (and UNKLE and a few others) are the only bands where I'll purchase physical media anymore. |
Re: Introduce Yourselves
Welcome (back)! Going to the 4th & B show?
|
Re: Introduce Yourselves
Yes! I was bummed when it was cancelled but just checked the tour thread and saw it was back on. My first show.. very excited!
|
Re: Introduce Yourselves
BOOYAH BITCHES I'M BACK
|
Re: Introduce Yourselves
I'm sort of back... i think.
Hello again. ;) |
Re: Introduce Yourselves
Hi, my name is Matt. I'm from America and I'm willing to bet I'm the youngest dude on these here forums. My favorite (by a long shot) has got to be ALaF. I recently (3 years ago) became obsessed with UW when I watched Sunshine and heard a couple of theirs in that. My life goal is to meet Rick and Karl and see them live. Like some one else said before me, UW is the only band I buy physical from anymore. I My fav album is Barking, because of ALaF. I own all formats of Barking except for Deluxe, and I own 2 of the double LP Vinyl versions from OM. I still fall asleep and wake up listening to UW.
|
Re: Introduce Yourselves
Hi Matt, welcome to the forums. I guess you missed them when they came to DC and NYC in 2010? Hopefully we might get some tour dates later this year after the Olympics or maybe next year. It's not economical for them to do much touring in the U.S., so you'll probably have to travel a little bit to catch them wherever you can.
|
Re: Introduce Yourselves
Yeah, I missed them then which is a real shame. My parents didn't want me to go. What stinks even more is that I'm working at a camp the day of the opening ceremony, and I guarantee my dad won't DVR it.

Re: Introduce Yourselves
Hey!
My name's Bjoern, I'm from Germany. I've been following Underworld since 1994 or 1995, I think. First encounter was the Cowgirl music video on MTV.. I was a subscriber and active poster at the dirtylist back in '97-'99. Best UW Moment was 2000, I think, at the Bizarre Festival in Germany, where heavy rain suddenly caused an interruption of the gig because the gear had to be covered properly. People started yelling song suggestions. Most of them shouted for Born Slippy, and I thought, geez, everybody knows they're going to play this as encore anyway. I tried my luck and yelled for Dirty Epic, which they then actually played! The original album version, one of my alltime faves, and a rather rare one to hear live. Pure bliss. |
Re: Introduce Yourselves
Yo, Gary, from LA. I was one of the original dirties from the list, joining around the end of '96 (was that really Auntie Viv that I saw up above, btw?). Anyway, I've been a fan of UW since early '95, and they became my all-time favorite after seeing the at Organic in the San Gab's in 1996. I remember going up there on my motorcycle (by myself, cuz no one else wanted to go, even though I had an extra free ticket, won from Jason Bentley a week or two earlier). I honestly cannot remember the music, even WITH the bootleg that's been floating around. All I remember is dancing non-stop during their entire gig, and they blew me away that night (no, I was not flyin' high). Ever since that day, I've tried to get to as many shows as I could (which hasn't been much, granted). Since then, I might have married another Lister (though that may not have turned out well in the end), moved out East, moved back to LA, and now am in the NW. Any other long time listers like Scoot and BAS still on here?

Re: Introduce Yourselves
Scoot sold dirty and now dominates the gaming industry, BAS is still in and around, yes... Tim Kong pops up with wisdom now and again...

Glad to see you survived marriage... Been to that movie, didn't like the ending |
Re: Introduce Yourselves
Bloody endings... Good to see you're still around too, BAS. Hope things are going well...

Re: Introduce Yourselves
Sorry I was under a table looking for chewing gum.
Hello again. Will probably crawl under the chairs next... then a new album will be announced (Tuesday probably) and I will be back. |
Re: Introduce Yourselves
Welcome!

Re: Introduce Yourselves
Hello. My name's Jayynee and I'm an Underworldaholic.
It has been 10 years since I have been to a live gig. I am excited beyond belief to be attending the Royal Albert Hall on 20th March to see these geezers doing their thing. |
