Jeff - Euro symphonic metal - is that like Stereolab and Sigur Ros?
I had to do some research on those two acts as I had never heard of them but Symphonic Metal is pretty much the polar opposite of the clips I heard for them. Symphonic Metal really falls very much under the broad umbrella of hard rock or Heavy metal. The acts in the SM subenre are very much guitar driven with a heavier sound but certainly not as heavy as an AC/DC or Slayer,

I listened to a mix on spotify including nightwish, epica, within temptation, etc. I like it. Will add it to my rotation.
Try Stereolab - Transient Random Noise Bursts from 1993 - similar guitars, with synths instead of orchestra.
Also, more recently, Greta van Fleet.
But we're getting off the subject.
 
Mine is pretty simple as well. Growing up in Minnesota, there is only 1 Kirby that you think of. Was 11 years old when he made his debut (39 years ago on Monday) remember hearing the story of his rather expensive cab ride from LAX to the big A, and then getting 4 hits in his BL debut = instant favorite player. The rest of his career only added to it, even though I had a faze of about 4 years of having Jose Canseco as my favorite.
Was also a variation on my very first online screen name on the baseball site Fastball.com which eventually went to Baseballboards.com
 
jdthakid36. I'm a sentimental person, email address, screen names, and tattoo's are all sentimental, ha ha. Now my 13 year old son wears the number 36, and it's awesome seeing him out on the field, kid has grown up overnight, ha ha.

"jd", first and middle initial...my grandma (nannie) called me that when I was younger...even into college
"thakid", grandpa (papa) used to say "he's lookin' at you kid"....
"36", my baseball number at North Carolina Wesleyan College (now North Carolina Wesleyan University.
 
Day late and a dollar short as we all like to say, anyway I was in the US Navy for 20 yrs. (Jul.78-Jul.98) and early on in my career my navy buddies found out I was part native American, and they just started calling me Chief Redcloud. After a short while the Chief got dropped and was shorten to Redcloud and I've been using it ever since.
 
My user name was originally meant to be a joke. Back in 1985 I was testing software for colleges & universities. I put in a class in the college catalouge called Anglinomics. The origin is from Economics which was converted to Reaganomics which was the name of President Regan's financially plan. So I have used anglinomics as a user on many different websites since then.
 
I love this thread!

I grew up in Boston…

Loved Jim Rice as a kid, then Nomar Garciaparra was all the rage for a long time…

But no one there calls him NOMAR. It’s “NOMAH.”

I got his autograph several times, and once after I got it before a game my dad said, “Well, of course you got it. Nomah loves yah!”
