Ryan Adams
Forum
as much as possible. Which album would you recommend for a first time lister? and what makes that so special
>>By montoya (Saturday, 10 May 2003 13:27)
Hey montoya, Sorry if I mixed up your pronouns... I suppose Your name just sounded feminine, plus, the majority of Ryan adams fans I meet are female, or just think he is fucking sexy.. So yeah... anyways, It really depends about which album to start with. They are all really good, but each has a different appeal. Most people seem to think that Gold is the best, and it is rather easy to get into, but it is my personal least favorite. I dunno enough about you to assist you successfully, but goodluck on your R.A journey. Hopefully it will not lead to an obsession that drives you to insanity.. regardless, R is worth your time.
Note to all: Petty or not I am slightly annoyed with whoever is using the name "little me," granted it is not the most original nik ever, i would hate to be mistaken for anyone but myself, even if it is just a stupid discusson board.

thank you for all your help, gold shall be the first album that I will buy but what album would u suggest? dont worry about the name it is a nickname by my friends as im mad on f1 and yes i am a girl!
>>By montoya (Monday, 12 May 2003 22:44)
whatever with yo friends.... Yeah.. My favorite is heartbreaker as long as you can handle really slow sad songs (not that any of the rest is any least sad, but you.know). It is one of those albums that doesn't grad you right away.. but once it goes your favoreite songs will fluctuate from week to week. All of the albums are definitely full of passion. This may soiund somewhat sentimental or just pathetic, but they fucking make me cry (at least when I am alone). ANyways.. please excuse me for writeing a lame ass message.. I am on like half a bottle of anti psycotics, and I probably spelled about 20 words wrong.. But trust me, I am neither smart nor stupid, and You don't give a shit. I sure as lell wouldn't...
So I am going to SHOT THE FUCK UP NOW!!!
I hope I have assisted you in some way.

Please send us your fucking lame ass drunken empty words... the fact that I hate computers but yet I check this fucking discussion board every other day... FUCK! It is a serious act of devotion, especially coming froma girl that has half of a city in love with her... I love ny image of ryan adams, but my fantacies are running dry... Perhaps another question mark? Or am I just going to have to start insulting you to get a reaction???

New Ryan Adams ...should I say "fan" or I guess I could say an admirer of his talent and most amazing ability to get the point across with his masterful lyrical ability. I have not had the pleasure of seeing a live performance. I have tried to find out where he is playing on Pollstar..no luck. Could anyone please tell me where I could find a venue schedule for him? Any help is greatly appreciated..
>>By memfisgril (Sunday, 18 May 2003 16:02)
i have brought "GOLD" and find it a well written and a meaningful album and enjoy listening to it. as you have suggeseted "HEARTBREAKER" i suppose I should take your advice and buy myself a copy and see if I could agree if heartbreaker is the better of the two albums and lets hope I dont sit there crying making myself depresssed wondering which album is the best. Crying isnt a pathetic act is normal. oh god now im saying dumbass things to you but whatever makes you feel better. thank you for all your help i will try and get back to the noticeboard to express my feelings on both albums

statement boring very my to answers the has who so do to better nothing have or me as boring as are you do you if written ive that anything understand you can boredom complete from myself save me help someone bored im saying im what understand you do .you why and fan adams ryan biggest the is who so interesting really is board notice this
>>By anastasia (Thursday, 22 May 2003 23:00)
god you must be bored whatever you are trying to say im sure in your own little world you are making sense at least i hope so. still i think that (SC) could be up for answering your questions as im sure he has half a bottle of psycotics left to use and reading your comments this could be a perfect opportunity to finish the bottle. still it was a clever but boring thing to do writing backwards to see who could understand what you were chatting about someone else reply as im turning into complete twonk reading this notice board and (SC) i hope that you are not affended in anyway when i suggest that you could be the perfect person to reply to those weird and silly questions by 'anastasia'
>>By montoya (Thursday, 22 May 2003 23:11)
Hello sweet montoya,
So? What makes you think that I am a BOY? Silly, I am a girl, well I think so at least... About your comments concerning Anastasia... I rarely take offense, so just say anything that is on your mind... like about crying.. It is a good thing, I have spent so much time doing so in the past that I barely have the ability anymore... So utilize your's, and I will try as well. Ryan helps.
Back to Anastasia, I am completely indifferent to her Neurotic dribble.. I use to date a boy who would write in the exact same manor, only in a sad attempt to regain my attention.. I am not making any judgments concerning Anastasia, I just have little time to waste on the Neurosis of others, I am to busy trying to figure out my own nonsense.
I agree with you about Gold. It is a great album, I just overreact to hype sometimes... To be honest I have no real favorite. I think so many people, including myself lose themselves to their little opinionated delusions, so much that they forget that they don't really give a shit most of the time.
Anyways, I appreciate your determination, and ability to accept the advise of strangers... More than I could say for myself...
Hey!!! We should like totally take over this board.. Fuck you ryan adams, it is all about US now!!!
>>By (SC) (Friday, 23 May 2003 02:32)
i aplogise for the name mixups, i am a twonk. when i had already told you about mine. i was listening to gold in work and someone said to me god where did you get that depressing cd from? i told them that a fan of the artist suggested the album and what a good choice is was. like you said everyone has their opinons and this time i side with you and not her. the songs on the cd were not what i was expecting they are much better. its not so often that you meet (not personally) an artist that knows what they are writing and singing about and R.A proves this true by being out there with the best of them if not the best. im waiting now for heartbreaker to be delievered through the post to get my second helping from a rather talented artist.
your right about another thing, its just you and me on this notice board with the odd person popping up now and again.
here is a silly question what does S.C stand for? i know it has something to do with your name it is sad but it has bugging me the last couple of days it seems i should get out more and if anyone else decides that they want to join in with our heated dissussions on mr R.A himself you obviously need to get out more yourself
thank you for all your help and you will be happy to know i have followed all you advice including trying to make it onto R.A web site as suggested but it was taking so long my patients ran. so you will be happy to know you got noticed without even having to write backwards to get someones attention! shame that boy never learnt quicker that doing boring shit like gets you know where
>>By montoya (Friday, 23 May 2003 21:29)
Hey Montoya,
I do get out from time to time, and usually write from other people's computers, cause mine sucks ass. My popularity around town seems to fluctuate.. Either I am inside cause I have pissed everyone off, or cause they are all kissing my ass... Fake mother fuckers, ya know... But then I suppose I cannot claim to be any different. God, not to mention- for the next month I am living in Portland or., which means constant rain.. It suits me, and it suits the music I listen to as well, but my luck here is shot, so in june I shall go down south for awhile.
Hey, once you have purchased all your ryan cd's, you should get some whiskeytown (a previous ryan band) I am sure you will like.
About my name... It stands for my initials and mostly "Sense Confusion,"
multiply meanings by three, and meanings will multiply infinitely.
Goodluck getting yourself out of the house sweet tado. (Saturday, 24 May 2003 00:07)
hey sweet little girl
ok you get out a lot. its just im living in a boring town with nothing much to do. why are you so popular, and why do you piss people off so much? why are you going south for? shit sorry that im asking you so many questions ihope you dont mind but like i said i have nothing better to do so im going to ask you as many pathetic questions just to have someone to talk to and if you dont reply i wont be surprised.
god just think that some stranger is going to change the whole of my cd collection and i dont even know her. how powerful is that!!! whiskeytown it is then
i think all im using this notice board for is to chat to you and on the odd occassion mr R.A comes up. still that is reason enough.
just a quick mension to misfisgril if you want to know about seeing ryan adams in concert you should try the internet concert tickets web page. this is where i found out that ryan is not touring great britain so i wont be seeing him this year but maybe you will good luck.
to you missy s.c one small thing, god doesnt Ryan have the most beautiful eyes!!!
>>By montoya (Saturday, 24 May 2003 21:50)
I wouldn't really say popular.. You say you are in a small town.. Well, I grew up in a small town too (still growing up), and it was hard.. I was the most unpopular person in fucking school... But then when I got to the city I found that, abnormality (or illusion of) can sometimes pay off.. OR did it???
I piss people off cause I don't always conform to their little social norms, and when I walk down the street with a hat, sunglasses, and headphones it is for a reason.. I am not going to say "hello" and reassure everyone I know When I walk past them.. Also, just I guess I can be pretentious at times.. I find myself annoyed by hard scenesters. A lot of people are resistant to everything that doesn't fit their little So called sub culture.. It pisses me off.. and I am not afraid to admit that I like all kinds of things, and all kinds of music as well, even if it is played on mtv from time to time. It's weird, you get a reputation for being a FUCK, but I guess sometimes any sort of reputation provokes interest. Sometimes with silence comes great power..
About moving.. there are so many reasons.. My city has developed a whole lot in the last few years, thanks to fucking california! It is still an extremely liberal city, clean and full of activism... but I need a break, and mostly just an adventure.. Cause here I know too many people, and I feel so stuck in my identity/role.. Also I've got some bad luck, and habits too. I want to go anywhere when the opportunity is there, ya know? My closest most intimate friend is currently living in florida (YIK) and we are going to meet in new Orleans, and just go from there. so yeah... there is my opportunity.. and a big motivation.
About R's eyes.. Yeh.. Pretty "beautifully meaningless (A magnetic Fields quote)"
So tell me, now that I have made a sad attempt to answer your questions without contradicting myself too much... What music are you into besides Ryan Adams?
>>By (SC) (Saturday, 24 May 2003 23:23)
A funny little fact: Ryan Adams has the same b-day as Brian Adams.. I am not trying to be mean, I just think it is funny after that whole Nashville (?) fiasco. On a positive note, he also has (I believe) THe same b-day as my favorite writer, Albert Camus.
>>By (SC) (Saturday, 24 May 2003 23:29)
Oops wrong ABOUT camus b-day, it's nov. 7th.. (Sunday, 25 May 2003 01:12)
hi ya thanks for answering my questions. when it comes to music it really depends on how im feeling when lazying around the house R is a good choice. doing exercise (yuk) i like to listening to linkin park etc to get me moving i like motown but i was brought up with that and bruce "the boss" springsteen. going out i like 80's music (sad) but it does vary. at this vey moment my mum is watching bruce in concert and she has phoned me and i can hear him sing, i have seen him in concert he was EXCELLENT.
what do you do in your spare time?
if it cheers you I wasnt the most popular person in school either but that could be because i didnt sleep with a different boy each week still who gives a shit what others think as long as you love who you are dont change a thing. that is what makes you so special that you are so different. so what made those fuckers so special anyway. you sound a nice enough person and you speak your mind and some people dont like that. like i said before who gives a shit what people think they are no better than you and if they think otherwise they are not worth knowing. if they werent mates with you then they missed out i never really knew why the "popular" kids labelled THEMSELVES i thought that they were mostly wannabes anyway. shit youve proberly done more with your life then those bunch of fuckers anyway. saying that you HAVE proberly done more then i have. i went from school to college to work.
im going away at the end of the month to greece just for a week god i cant wait to get out of this shit hole of a country. have you ever been to England? if you havent your not missin much. god what i would do to get away permently
so are you footlose and fancy free? where abouts do you live?
by the way there is no such thing as "NORMAL" that is what my doctor said to me
still take care and remember be yourself!!!!
>>By montoya (Monday, 26 May 2003 23:47)
please help me with my boredom
i need help!!!
>>By montoya (Thursday, 29 May 2003 21:59)
montoya im sorry to have bored you with my silly backward writing but like you said everyone gets bored and like you this is what i do type the usual shit which also slips out of my mouth still you and S.C seem to have good conversations. the big question is who is ryan adams as it seems he has disappeared from this discussion board still its nice to chat to someone but i dont get on the net vey often as i have to go on it at college
>>By anastasia (Thursday, 29 May 2003 22:38)
montoya,
Thanks for the reminders in your last e-mail.. It is important to just be yourself, and to tactfully speak your mind as well.
Sorry it has been so long since I have written, I have been at home and my computer is fucking Illiterate, I swear... This little message is actually being sent through a friend which I have e-mailed it through. So yeah, I am sorry that you are so bored. I actually spend a lot of time trying to convince myself that boredom is an illusion, but I don't think that is the case anymore.. boredom is not an illusion, it is just outright absurd, and I suppose I just don't have the ability to conceptualize it.
What do I do in my free time you ask??? hmmm... well I have spent the last week in hiding.. Recuperating from a couple of previous weeks spent partying. mostly I have recently just been listening to music, and reading. I am currently out of work, and I took a break from school thinking that i was to be leaving sooner, but it turns out I could have finished the term, just barely. so I have basically been wasting time, and haven't been quite as creative as I would like.
I am taking a small retreat from Ryan, as I don't want to overdo it, ya know. Instead I have been listening to a lot of other shit, but i n ryan's place, Paul Westerberg.. I have detected a strong similarity between them, and I wonder if it is purely coincidental, or if ryan would admit to an influence. Note: Ryan still a fav.
ANyways.. Take care of yourself, and good luck escaping your boredom..
S.C.

hi ya tired little party girl.
anyways it is nice to hear from you again. party party party, god i wish i could be doing that. hell im saving for holidays and shit so partying is the last thing on my mind still like you said boredom maybe an illusion which means i should get my ass out of this chair and get a life.
just because you didnt finish college doesnt mean you have been wasting your time you are doing as much as you can while you are still young.
i suppose i should cut down on R.A a bit too. you can only take so much of one thing till you begin to hate it and his talent is worth more than that.
quick note you should try listening to david gray another well talented artist whose music is absolutly outstanding. his album "white ladder" is a master piece and it has been quoted that it is one of those albums you have to listen to before you die and you will understand that from listening to it from beginning to end there is not one bad song on the album.
take care and look after yourself speak to you soon.
"montoya"
>>By montoya (Saturday, 31 May 2003 22:43)
Thanks for the recommendation.. I am always looking to get into new music.. I will be sure to check out david Gray as soon as I get a chance, I may just have to download though.. At least for now. THere is so much music I want right now, but I just can't afford all of it. Tah.
I will write more when I have something of importance to say, now- Blah...
hope you are well.
Tah tah.
>>By SC (Sunday, 1 Jun 2003 17:31)
i hope that you enjoy david he is worth every penny this is an album not to be missed. he isnt bad looking either, not quite R.A league but not bad. i shouldnt say about his looks his music is extradinary. if you ever see him watch his head. i wont tell you what that means you will soon find out.
short but sweet take care

Hey montoya,
Hell, I have already given a lot of my anonymity away, may as well go all the way.. Sarah? I am Sari. The Sar is pronounced like Sarah, but in the place of the Ah sound there is more of an ey sound
Thanks for the recommendation, I just downloaded a couple david Gray songs and I can see why you like him so. I thought it was pretty good.. He sounds sort of like Van Morrison or something...
Well I gots to be going.. Talk soon maybe.. (Tuesday, 3 Jun 2003 01:57)
hi ya Sari
i told you that you would like him. i know one person who doesnt and she was the one who asked me who is singing this depressing music, which we both know was the one and only R.A (i told you that we would mention him now and again) so that would mean that we both have good taste in music.
take care
sarah
>>By montoya (Tuesday, 3 Jun 2003 20:08)
i take it Sari that you are getting out of the house. its been a while hope that you are well and nothing has happened. unlike me im still in my house. still got to go just wondering where you are. im guessing that you may have left town if you have and by some chance you get to this message i hope that you are having a good time and that you are popular. take care and be careful

Hi Sarah Montoya
It's the first chance i've had to get on the computer since i got back from Greece, i've been sleeping constantly since i got back.
I've been listening to Gold to relive the happy holiday memories, i don't know if it's just me, but i seem to be relating to the lyrics R.A sings more so than ever after the holiday.
Look forward to hearing from you
Be Lucky
Mat
>>By Firecracker (Saturday, 12 Jul 2003 14:50)
mat
to be honest mat i wasnt expecting you to get on here. god doesnt it feel like shit being back home. i got my photos done they are really good
im trying to get over the shock that you wrote. i didnt think that you would bother. another thing i thought that it was just me and S.C that call ryan adams R.A so did you enjoy your holiday in Greece?
so how was work? isnt the first day back the worse. me and kerry have decided to go back to Rhodes next year as we had such a great time. i have been having problems with my computer so if my message does get through im so happy that you are on this board. i hope that you found it easy.
so what you been up to since you got back? i cant wait next weekend im off to the british grand prix (sad i know)
i will write back as soon as i get a reply.
miss you
Sarah x
