Austin here again, this time I have 2 questions for you:

1. When was the first time you knew that music kicked ass and you couldn't live without it for the rest of your life. Explain your experience...

2. What was the first tape, cd, record etc. that you owned yourself. Not your parents, not your friends, you.

1) summer after 8th grade (which was the year my dad died...five years ago) when i went to a laser pink floyd show at the boston science museum and i started actually listening to the words of roger waters and i realized how unbelievably true all of his songs were...ever since then, ive been obsessed with not only floyd, but every type of music

2)as for the first cd that caught me...haha, you will probably laugh, i was like 6 or 7 and it was the beach boys - endless summer...they were also my first concert

the challenge is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you like everyone else

^bahahahhhaha ace of base

1)the first day i listened to a competition car stereo. i've always loved music, but i had never heard music like i heard it that day in the alpine demo truck. it was almost ten years ago.

2)my cousin gave me my first tape, it was POISON, 'look what the cat dragged in.' wow that's probably almost as bad as ace of base now that i think about it

1. For me it was when I first listened to my own music. Something that my parents didn't listen to. It was all mine. I loved, and still do, how everyone has a different taste in music and you can listen to whatever you please.

2. My first tapes (found them on the side of the road) were Oasis-Whats the Story Morning Glory and Green Day-Dookie. Such good music!

for me it seemed like it was later that most of you, but it was my freshman year, 2 years ago, when i was 14, i would always bring my mp3 player to school and listen to it all the time, one day i just didn't listen to anyone else, i just listened to music, and then i realized it was so sick and i NEED it

and my first cd was aerosmith, i go it for my birthday when i was in like 3rd grade

1. On the ski club bus in eighth grade, i heard zeppelin. theyve been my favorite band ever since. im actually listening to them now. that got me into tons of classic rock, then into reggae.

2. either green day - dookie or nirvana - nevermind.

It was probably when the summer of 7th grade. A kid from Florida moved up to CT and was my next door neighbor. He and his brothers exposed me to ska - Less Than, Mustard Plug, Bosstones, Hippos, Goldfinger. Just listening to that music while doing stuff that summer kinda let me know how pervasive and important music is - the soundtrack of our lives.
Since then I've grown to love every kind of music. From Zeppelin to Dylan, the Dead and Phish, Bach to Mozart, NOFX to Pennywise, Get up Kids to Taking Back Sunday. As I've met people and been exposed to different kinds of music, the idea that music plays an innate part in our lives has only been made stronger.

But back to topic:
First CD I ever owned:

Everclear 'So Much for the Afterglow'

1-it all started many years ago,when i was pure and innocent,and i was introduced to Belle and Sebastian by my friend.I was 15.Since then,i can't have a nice day without my cd's or mini discs.
2My first legally owned cd was Americana,by the offspring.I was like 13 at the time.
And if you lived in Europe you would understand the fact that i liked techno a lot...
