Leigh has been with us since the beginning (November '98). She is the most regular poster with the most messages under her belt. She also has a tendancy to post awfully long posts, and now claims the title for longest message and has posted a few messages up around the 1000 word mark, with one message needing to be split into two (with over 2000 words). All her posts are always filled with very intelligent points though, so she'll always be a very important and welcome part of the community!

hellooo. my name is leigh and i am 22 in 2001 (fuck i feel old!). and a capricorn. that may explain a lot of things. i take photos of bands in my spare time, and run a wee record label and mailorder/distro business as well. i live in sydney and i have a fondness for nearly all music. well nearly all. i draw the line at hair metal and butt rawk. haha ash! !ash! !ash! will always be my sentimental faves BUT *takes a deep breath* i do have some other buzzwords...

Name: James Russell
On-screen handle: jgwr
Location: Sydney NSW
Date of birth: November 15, 1974. Which makes me 1) a Scorpio and 2) the resident Grand Old Fart of the WTJ message board
Email: jgwr@yahoo.com
Listening to JJJ since: 1991
A few favourite CDs: ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, "Madonna"; Badly Drawn Boy, "The Hour of Bewilderbeast"; The Beatles, "Abbey Road"; David Bowie, "The Man Who Sold The World"; Burzum, "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss"; Doves, "Lost Souls"; Brian Eno, "Another Green World" and "Before and After Science"; Faith No More, "Angel Dust"; Fear Factory, "Demanufacture"; Godspeed You Black Emperor, "Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada"; Isaac Hayes, "Hot Buttered Soul"; Jimi Hendrix, "Electric Ladyland"; Keith Jarrett, "The Köln Concert"; Killing Joke, "Democracy"; Massive Attack, "Mezzanine"; MC5, "Kick Out The Jams"; My Bloody Valentine, "Loveless"; Placebo, "Without You I'm Nothing"; Powderfinger, "Internationalist"; Radiohead, "OK Computer"; Sepultura, "Roots"; The Sex Pistols, "Never Mind The Bollocks"; Sigur Ros, "Agaetis Byrjun"; Strapping Young Lad, "City"; Devin Townsend, "Infinity"; Underground Lovers, "Dream It Down"; V/A, "Nuggets" 4CD box set; The Who, "Live At Leeds"; Wire, "Chairs Missing"; Yat-Kha, "Dalai Beldiri"... and I'll stop there before I go on any more.
Preferred genres: rock music in its various forms. Reasonably keen on metal and some industrial. Also likes forms of electronica, 1970s Jamaican dub, 20th century classical music, and Tuvan throat-singing. I've also come to a belated (if limited) appreciation of some hip-hop, which we can blame OutKast for, although my irrational hatred of cheesy dance/techno still holds.
Other stuff: I read, I write, I fool about on the Internet too much, I volunteer at community radio station 2SER (and may just one day expand my horizons to include 2RRR as well), and currently I'm studying community radio broadcasting at TAFE. Plus I recently got invited to co-edit a magazine. Life is OK.

Steve first joined us in February '99. The first message I can find from him is the famous hottest 100 annalysation which consisted of Steve larely negative and very self-opinionated comments on the entire 100 songs from 1999 hottest 100, for which he hailed much abuse for! LOL. That message was also one of the largest messages ever posted. Steve will always be known for his famous ability for hating things, and stiring up shit, especially with the killing heidi fans, hehe.

We have had the pleasure of Juanita's company since about February 99. She'll always be an important part of the message board community too! She's now posted over a hundred messages and unlike Steve (hehe), I think she's always happy and positive... I remember in July 99 when she thought about getting her tongue pierced - "is there anyone here who has their tounge pierced, if so can you tell me if it hurts". She was quickly filled in by a lot of people, and if it were me considering it, they sure would have put me off! LOL. So did you end up getting it pierced, Juanita?

He first joined us around January 99 I think, until about August 99, when i think he must have got sick of it, so he hasn't been back much since! But keep an eye out for his ghost that has been known to post the odd message now and then.

But radio and music are pretty much passions, and this is as good as any place for discussions.

Fave Music/Bands - Placebo, Alex Lloyd, Blur, Nirvana, SilverChair, U AM I, Chris Isaaks, Faithless, RHCP, Regurgitator, HappyLand, SPiderbait, Oasis, Ben Harper, Jeff Buckley, The Fauves, Custard, Kylie, The Cruel Sea, Fat Boy SLim, Simply Red, M People, Massive Attack, Sting, Crowded House, Neil Finn, Hunters and Collectors, Paul Kelly, The Living End, Olive, Lamb, Pet Shop Boys, DJ David Morales(session 7 MOS), Jimeroquai, The Cure, Lemonheads, and many many more. - I have been accused of being a teeny bopper, which at 21 seems quite amusing, I feel there is no shame in liking an endless amount of different style od music.
Been Listening to the J's Since - 1993
Fave J's Programme - Well I have an unnatural obsession with Merrick Watts, however if I was going for out right best show on the station it would have to be Sara Mac and the Morning Show just because of the cool stuff that I always learn about in there and that helped me get 90% in my year 12 General Studies HSC test.
Fave Web Sites - www.democrats.org.au - the Australian Democrats and Young Democrats site. http://cleo.murdoch.edu.au/nuse/home.htm - The National Union of Students Online
www.y2kexpertos.com/mp34u/ - it is an Mp3 site, infortunatley it opens all those stupid porn listing ones at the same time, if you close them it is a pretty vast source and most of them are reliable and download ok.
www.youami.com.au - U AM I central! - this is the coolest band page that I have seen in a long time - the guy that does the page is on tour with the band and the message board is pretty good.
http://come.to/net50 - the unofficial net 50 mp3 site, this is the best one that I have seen and the archive is pretty good. there is a site at the bottom of the main page that is called Angel Vixens Mp3 site, I cant get the URL because the net fifty one stays at the top when you click on the link but I reccomend the site as there is no porn and really good archive, very reliable.
www.mcspotlight.org - McSpotlight - this is the comprehensive site about the McLiable case that has been going on in the UK for about 7 years or something, if you love to see big multi nationals get a kick in the arse then this is a great site! I especially like the forum for McDonalds workers to complain about the conditions that they work in and the fact that they are not allowed to become unionised - definatley worth a look.
www.bluemountain.com - electronic greetings, this cheesy american site is good value if you have friends in the US - they have the most ridiculous holidays over there, like National Coming Out Day and there are a plethora of E-Cards to send to celebrate it! my favourites are the religious ones and they have possibly the worst Midis that accompany then ever! Of course there is your site as well Chay and I would have to say that it has been the one that I have visited most regularly since I learnt to use the internet!
