Discussing Eric's role as the horror movie poll-runner:

LOL, oh man, I should roll each and every result out in the style of an EC host. That could get tiresome after the first seven or eight.

With some editing. Referring to Pete Nice's Deadspin piece on MCA:

--

that article felt sort of uncharitable and weirdly self-obsessed.

however, a couple nice pieces of trivia, which i'm always thankful for:

1) professor x was 3rd bass's manager! amazing!

2) DMX was Just Ice's beatboxer!!!! crazy

― Bandersnatch Cumberbund (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, May 10, 2012 2:31 PM (Yesterday)

okay, i'm wondering if that's the same DMX. it really can't be right? DMX doesn't beatbox.

i thought it was common knowledge that that DMX started out as a beatboxer in the '80s and that that was how he got his name. apparently Just-Ice worked with a guy called Human DMX, who was neither that DMX nor Davy DMX, though.

this is either a really stupid observation or an obvious one someone's already made but doing this quick overview over the past week the beastie boys maybe kinda echo the four seasons

Lol, I was wanting to map them onto phases of the Rolling Stones' career upthread, mostly as a product of the recent Stones poll:

Licensed to Ill = early Stones as a singles band, snotty bratty punk shit, timeless pop hits
Paul's Boutique = Their Satanic Majesties Request, hard left that the world wasn't ready for, "commercial suicide"
Check Your Head = late-60s/early-70s Stones, Beggar's Banquet through Exile, long hair & musicianship, glory regained
Ill Communication = mid-70s, Goat's Head Soup - Black and Blue, falling into a rut but still scoring hits
Hello Nasty = late-70s/early-80s, Some Girls - Tattoo You, new sounds & audiences, mining the past, dance music
To the Five Boroughs and cetera = inevitable decline (with bright spots), eminence

Kinda obvious, but I always mapped them onto Winston Churchill's career myself. LTI = snotty, punk-nosed brat with some questionable decisions (for 'Girls' read Gallipoli, for the stage show the gold standard). Then the visionary period in the wilderness (PB = crazy guy ranting about Hitler all through the 30s), with the public starting to get back on board with CYH/the ousting of Halifax. IC is the phoney war not-entirely-successful building of momentum (Dunkirk = Grand Royal?), before HN is D-Day onwards. Then with TT5B he gets kicked out of office even though he's still putting out the same work.

Sometimes I this board makes me realize I'm not that smart

that is rly an amiable, extended zing at the expense of those with a hypertrophic tendency towards pattern-recognition

else, klata is quite quite mad

why not both

whimsy has taken him.

we should start slapping adverts for ilf on any post by a core member imo, drum up the numbers

slogan: "ILF: For people who like to kick a ball in the street"

ilf is more for ppl who drink supermarket grain alcohol while iphoning in their controversial opinions about the vaguely humanoid irruptions flitting around the luminous green glow of their plasma tv

so i guess if you actually care how you're understood and what impact you have, then your hands are tied a bit. and hence some of the best comedy comes from people who don't care how they're received or what "message" they present.
