INTRODUCE YOURSELF (1) Who you are? My name if Tiffany Nicole...the name is totally unfitting to my personality. I was supposed to be named "Sunshine." And, well, that ain't quite it either. (2) Where you're from? I'm from Texas...central suburbia. (3) How old you are? 20; though many think I am much older...so do I. (4) Where you first heard Poe? Saddly, not until about a year ago. I was advised by a friend to read "House of Leaves." On the back of the cover, as you know, is that line: "Listen to the house..." Well, needless to say, I listened to it, I loved it, and the rest is history. (5) What other musicians do you listen to? Currently: Amanda Ghost, KT Tunstall, Immogen Heap, Frou Frou, Bjork (6) Any other interesting information you wish to share. lol...I'm not interesting by any means. But, if I have to come up with something, I am a *Lost* Theoryologist...lol. That show is my drug, ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 May 2006 15:32:26 -0600 From: "Holly Decker" Subject: Re: Introduction I wanted to say Hi to Tiffany. I have a friend named Tiffany, she loves Poe too. We've decided we'd like Poe to marry us (???hmmmm - we can dream). Anyway, her nickname is Sunshine too. I thought for a minute you were her. Ha ha, small world. I haven't introduced myself, so here I go: I'm Holly. I'm 38. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. I ran a CD store here for 10 years and it was during that time that I became aware of Poe as an artist. I posted this to my blog recently and thought I'd share: This is how it started. In middle of a weird night out with a friend of ours, we ended up in an apartment. Just to get to the apartment we entered an old "avenuesish" four story apartment building, walked down the hall, turned the corner, went out the back door, around to an outdoor staircase, through a door and then down some basement type stairs into a very dark, odd shaped space. The walls were covered with rave notices, posters, memorabilia, etc. I remember we talked about a Spiritualized concert flyer that was on the wall. It was a flash from the past. I remembered hanging out in places just like this, sitting on the floor with people like the people we met there that night, but now, I was there again, only Older. Our time there was enjoyable, amusing, humorous, and troubling all at the same time. Anyway, when we left, our very pretty, sexy friend sang "Hey Pretty" to us in the car. Wow!!! Sooo sexy. I brought home the Haunted album the next day. It is so amazing! At the time I was in the midst of stepping away from many of the norms that had been presented to me in my life by my family, religion (I was raised Mormon) and culture. The album spoke to me and has been one of my companions ever since. So much there resonates with me. I'm addicted to Poe - I need more Poe!!!! Poe - I hope those who hold you down with their contracts and power set you free soon. Music is an addiction in my home. Where to start and I could never finish, but here's a few of my favorite artists (besides Poe): Kristin Hersh, Joseph Arthur, Ed Hamell (Hamell On Trial), Sky Cries Mary, Kan'Nal, Garbage, Lisa Germano, Heather Nova, Lloyd Cole, Grant Lee Buffalo, Alabama 3, Southern Culture On The Skids, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Danielle Dax, Emiliana Torrini, Bjork, Seven Year Bitch, PJ Harvey, Throwing Muses, Belly, Breeders, Placebo, Rasputina, Catherine Wheel, The The, Sneaker Pimps, Linoleum, Mono, Morcheeba, Mark Sandman (Morphine), Wolfgang Press, Cocteau Twins, The Cure, Siouxsie, Lamb, Modest Mouse, 16 Horsepower... There is my intro. Hi and have a happy hump day! Holly ------------------------------ End of angry-psychos-digest V11 #27 ***********************************
