    PCLoadletter got me into the Kaiser Chiefs, who I listen to a lot at the gym now.

    I take full credit for the Shure E2Cs... Talked them up to Moddy maybe 2 years ago and then again a few times on other threads.

    off the top of my head, I am sure Boom, of all people has had an impact on my life... He deserves credit for everyone wearing Asics Gels Kayanos when they run (best thing anyone ever suggested to me)... And for everyone drinking Starbucks Ipanema Bourbon coffee.

    :D

    TSP turned me onto Butch Walker and I've in turn passed the love of Butch onto others, mostly non-posters.

    Dedo, your mention of the Weakerthans and Miller's Crossing brought tears to mine eyes.

    Number one on my list has to be Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried (also nibbed by Double Down, possibly the most underrated contributor on the board, in a tie with jgmacg). I freaking love that book.

    I also saw the live version of Fleetwood Mac's Silver Springs. (I think it was BYH who plugged that.)

    And, of course, I discovered drunk Darling Joe on my bathroom floor in my hotel in Minneapolis, pretty much because of this place.

    The movie "Hard Candy." Never heard of it before this site, never saw a trailer, never read a review. And I'm a movie buff.

    Saw three or four people talk about how good it was, ran across it at Best Buy for $10 or $15 and picked it up.

    Great, great movie.

    Countless articles that I might never have read also belong on this list

    The musical stylings of Gill Landry.

    The mastery of the English language, as demonstrated by Jones.

    ATM. Seriously, I had no idea.

    Too many books to name.

    The Dead Can Dance version of "Wind That Shakes the Barley" which is now in the top 25 of my Ipod. Thanks, writing irish!
