Hello mates.
I am Luis, from Mexico, and I would like to introduce myself as a new member of this group.
(Note: If somehow you feel I am hurting your feelings, sorry, I am not, it must be just because I made some translation mistakes and I apologize in advance).
Why am I here? Well, it is a long story. I heard TSOM in 1987 (less or so), and since then I have been grabbed by their music. I found some strong energy that compels me to want to hear more from them.
Unfortunately, I come from a very small city in Mexico, and if it is hard to have access to good music in this country, you can imagine what it is like in a small city of this nation.
The only means available to get interesting music (because most of the music we receive comes from USA, and we have to stick to it), is by asking to a friend who would be traveling to UK or Europe to go to a music store and buy something for us. Please, I am not saying USA doesn’t have good music; it is just perhaps I haven’t found it yet (in my own particular taste of music, and that gives us plenty to talk about in other chats).
This form of buying music has many disadvantages: first, in a country as close to US as ours, many people would rather go, or can only afford to go, to Disneyland than to go to London; second, if you are a lucky man, and you know someone that would be traveling to UK, please pray to God that he isn’t a “Michael Jackson fan� or a “Spears buddy�; third, if your friend is not that committed to music as yourself, save your time and money, he would bring you anything he finds, and probably would buy you the same LP that you already have (Murphy’s law).
In 1989 I started my career and forgot about music because I went away and lost touch with many of my friends with whom I used to share music.
But, now, with a master degree, married with almost 2 children, a sedentary business man, TSOM comes to my life with the 2006 gig in an underground bar at Monterrey City. There is when I met three very interesting guys: Andrew from Scotland, Eva from Sweden and Scott, which I think he’s from England, and inform me that there is life after Floodland, Some Girls Wander by Mistake, and the most known TSOM LP’s.
And here I am, trying to catch up with 10+ years of being away, and trying to get in touch with my gothic inside and with people that share similar taste of music or philosophy. Like a lovely aunt of mine said after loosing her memory for a whole year (RIP): “(laughing): Well, you can take away that year from my age, I am really 1 year younger that what my born certificate says!!!�
If you have any questions, I would kindly answer all of them.
Thank you, nice to meet you.
