Hello people! New here - something I cannot Believe considered how long I've been a fan for and how much TJF's music has inspired me over the last few years. In fact there's a signed Big Roar print staring at me from the wall a couple of feet to the right of me.
I discovered TJF in Sheffield's plug when they were supporting Howling Bells, was Blown Away by every second of their performance & have been an avid fan & follower since, been to 5 of their gigs now, a couple less than I'd like t've done. It's been a true Joy watching them rise and rise over time.

I'm male, 26 & live near Bradford.

The other three bands I'm 'disturbingly' Mad about:
- Blood Red Shoes
- Black Moth (ifya don't knowem, more here)
- Howling Bells
Other bands I'm 'a bit too' Mad about:
- Cream
- Garbage
- Metric
- Wild Flag (+Sleater-Kinney & Helium)
- The Vines
- Paul Kalkbrenner
- The White Stripes (+ all things Jack White)
- The Black Belles
- Belakiss
- Veronica Falls
- The Kills
- Black Sabbath
- Kasabian
- Mindless Self Indulgence
- Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Other bands I'm 'a bit' mad about
- Too many to even begin to list here...

My other passion in life (besides the opposite sex) - I'm a Roller Coaster Enthusiast & have been a member of the European Coaster Club (more here) since my early teens.

I'm also crazy about Korean cinema, esp films by Park Chan-Wook, have guitars which never get played enough, and love singing but haven't shared it with the world yet, though it's my lifelong passion to.

Hi everyone -

just wanted to introduce myself a bit I've been a fan of TFJ since about April 2012. I first heard of them back in 2011 when they were opening for Foo Fighters. my local radio station was playing TJF to promote the show and i happened to catch Whirring on the radio. It sounded so unique, engaging, and just downright amazing. I immediately Shazam the song to discover it was TFJ. unfortunately i decided not to go to the FF show and now I regret my decision b/c I would've love to go if only to see TFJ live. It wasn't until few months after that when i started youtube-ing TFJ and I instantly became hooked. now i'm patiently waiting for the opportunity to see them live again. seeing a headline show would be a dream

Hi!

I'm new here, though I've been a fan of TJF since I saw them support Paul McCartney in 2010. My real name's Angharad, though no one can pronounce it so I get called allsorts.
Look forward to getting to know you all.

Do you mean people call you lots of different things, or that your nickname is actually 'allsorts'? Should we call you that? Or assorted phonetical mispronunciations / missspellings of Angharad?

P.S. Welcome aboard!

Ha ha! I meant various forms of Angharad. But if you want to call me 'Allsorts' that's fine with me.

I reckon then your name should be 'licorice'

I'm David. I found out about TJF when I got stuck in traffic. TJF is awesome. My life is pretty dull otherwise.

I just learned who I am, today, so I thought I'd share.

A LOUD knock came at my door as I was napping this evening. Solicitor, I thought. Then another LOUD knock, and ANOTHER. Pulling myself together, I look out the window to see police vehicles in front of my house and up the block. Not long thereafter, I see two teens rolling what appears to the basketball goal which has adorned by driveway for a decade-and-a-half back up the street toward my house.

The officers are smiling as they return to my doorstep, explaining that they'd received a call, and that the two boys had been "cooperative." The first arrives and apologizes to me, explaining that he'd seen it on my stoop, unused, and that he didn't think anyone lived here, anyway. I look at the house and say, "Well, it has been neglected."

The goal still half-a-block away, I note, "I bought it YEARS ago for my kids. They're not around to use it anymore, so it's languished here. I'd thought I might have a garage sale...." Then, the obvious occurs to me.

You certainly never want to reward such behavior. But, after all, it had been languishing, unused, and here were two youngsters with a need. So, I gave it to them, admonishing, "You know, this is the sort of thing for which you want to make arrangements in advance.

"Yes, sir. I'm sorry. Thank you, sir."

( ... "sir" )

At this point, the officers' smiles have turned to laughter, as the second youth struggles to deliver his ill-gotten gain. As he quickly departs, they call after him, saying, "Hey, come back... he's giving it to you!"

Blame Ritzy Bryan for my irresponsible lapse in judgment on (this) Turntable Day.
(It's not like they didn't have to work for it.)

Oh, as for the obligatory demographic, I'm a white guy (those young opportunists were black), twice Ritzy's age in 2012, who never outgrew his youth. I have three "things" I value. Two of them bear Apple logos, and the third gets me to and from work, and the market, and sometimes the mountains. The house in which I live was chosen by someone else a long time ago and will need to become a construction zone before it truly can be called a home; I value the refuge it provides. Beyond that, all I value is content—generally music and film—and those foretelling expressions of beauty which light the night.

There's a reason you're on my ignore list.
