Never did a proper introduction before, so here goes.

I’m Tiergarten. You can probably find out the “real” me from this and my avatar alone. Long time outsider here - went to one meet up about two years ago (?). I am neurodivergent (autistic), currently live in the West Midlands and run a record label of neurodivergent artists (including my own projects). I will also defend Placebo to the hills (have done so previously on here) and have a habit of talking about Ukraine without much prompting :ukraine:

Love your attitude through all…people talk you feel you know then more about them …most of us stay quiet though…thats ok also

Hello, I am Shoebox1976uk aka Andrew. I live in Kent in the south east of England. Apparently I’ve been a member since 2016, but have probably only really posted with any kind of fervour in the past couple of years.

I am here mostly for the music recommendations, and I don’t think I can really pigeonhole myself as I like an awful lot of everything.

I am married, with two teenage daughters and a cat called Totoro. When I’m not working (management information for a massive insurance company, it’s a job totally without merit), I am generally lazy and have no hobbies other than running. This evening I will find something else to do whilst my wife watches Call Of Duty or whatever it’s called…

I am Adam. Been reading these forums for years, but rarely if ever posted. I live in rural Lincolnshire, having moved from London and originally the west country. I am old now. I’ve played various bands and still do music; finishing an album at the moment. I am here for chatter with music minded people (I miss that in real life) and new recomendations.

You sound like my friend Mike who moved from London to rural Lincs, but I don’t think you are actually him

Hi, champion lurker here, first time poster. think i’ve been reading DiS since the beginning, 2000ish, when I was a proper music obsessed d*ckhead starting university. has been a constant in my life since, doing all the classic life things of moving to London, being an office-job hero, and now being a late 30s married-with-a-kid living by the sea. not sure why i’ve never posted, just enjoyed it more like a weird long running soap opera/comedy. anyway, I may never post again, who knows!

My middle name is Michael, but that doesn’t change a thing.

Hello, I’ve been reading DiS on and off for the past 5 or so years as a lurker but have become more active recently to vote in the HGATR. I get most of my music recs from here, you all have great taste. Excited to be involved in my first music league!
Currently live in that London but from north of the border. Nice to meet everyone. Hopefully ill post a bit more more going forward.

Hi, i’m sine_wave,

I’m brand new here, got a recommendation to join the forum via Instagram though and very glad I did - looks like my kind of place.

I’m Steph, and i’m in my 30’s, and reside in Newcastle-under-Lyme (the little Newcastle) in Staffordshire.

I’m a huge Mogwai fan (as the eagle eyed among you may have spotted from my username) and like a load of other stuff too of course. Excited to chat more music and discover new recommendations. I’m a bit of a History fan too, studying part time for an MA in History & working the 9-5 as an account manager. Hobbies outside of music include reading, walking my giant dogs, craft beer and other usual stuff.

Thanks for reading!
