Premier Rock Forum

How'd everyone get their username for this forum?

(for example, mine is a slang term for LSD)

sorry about posting this topic twice, how do i delete one of them?

I sure like reverb. Whether its out of a box, or playing horn in 5 story stairwell, or playing horn in a cavernous empty train stop. It makes me happy. Even as a kid I loved keeping my foot on the sustain pedal of a piano when I played. Its great at covering up fuck ups too!

I'm a serious fan of both Federico Fellini and Stanley Kubrick. So I smashed their names together.

mine's my last name.

I'm big into lizards.

-Nooo, not that way.

sceloporus malachitus, latin nomenclature you see, like i said, i likes 'em.

-wilson

Mine is the name of the neighborhood in which I live here in Chicago. I named my studio and business (and user name) in it's honor.

you have a business and a studio? but aren't you a kid?
and you live in mayfair, eh...don't tell me you're in that annoying band that practices in the garage, at kostner and argyle. if so--man, kid...your band sucks. if not--thank god that your band doesn't suck as bad as that one does.

SPOOOOON!

though people nowadays prolly think it is after the band (who I have not heard but I hear I should).

my favorite thing about the name is that it has, built into it, an implication that there is some *correct* number of helicopters that has been exceeded.

got it from moving to DC. living in chicago, growing up right next to ohare, and then later working there, i was *very* used to aircraft noise. pretty much had never lived without it, except when i lived in the city, but then there were the el, and the busses, and plenty of other familiar urban noise sources. when i first moved to DC, i lived in the district, in a neighborhood that in addition to getting lots of traffic of military transport helicopters, has the added bonus of being in a kinda gang-y area, so there were frequently police helicopters flying around with the search light on. after living there for only a month or two, i noticed that rarely did a day go by that i didn't hear a helicopter flying pretty much directly over my apartment at some point in the evening. and it was really weird and unsettling at first, because i was so used to aircraft, but so completely unaccustomed to helicopters. not to mention helicopters have this habit of looming, and circling, and staying overhead for minutes at a time. which can be kinda unsettling at first. for me anyways. so yeah, too many helicopters turned into toomanyhelicopters, which at this point is a music project of mine and also a screenname. although on another board (where i've been using it for a couple years now), it's shortened to tmh, since i got awful tired of typing so many letters. and so did everybody else.
