What's everyone's favourite Thompson Twins song?

"Hold Me Now," easy. Lurvly ballad.

I still think any further 'engagement' with him from any ilxors is tantamount to running up the score.

You're probably right there.

And so it is demonstrated yet again that if you leave a thread-gone-wrong to its own devices, it will eventually justify itself in a great flash of glory and splendor.

Even MORE Amazing... zero trife action, and minimal fiddo/strongo/jesso action to keep the momentum strong at that!

donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 01:36 (twenty years ago) link

where is trife btw?

donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 01:39 (twenty years ago) link

Retired, sorta. But check the Fiddo's crystal ball thread for his amazing review as Mullah Omar for the new Jay-Z album. The difference between him and A Certain Poster On This Thread when it comes to talking about hip-hop is measured in parsecs.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 01:40 (twenty years ago) link

trife is mullah? ha!

Thes One does that much better on the first People Under the Stairs album.

oops (Oops), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 03:25 (twenty years ago) link

okay, not *much* better:

Yo! What would you do if I could prove you didn't exist and it was true
Like ??? solidified
proof of your essence

Of you in the spoof of your birth
Now I guess that would lesson your
worth to the dirt and the earth
And the leaf, now I leave you alone without belief that your
really here
And assist you beneath your fear
An endearing tear would fall if all that I said
was true,
Am I right or ???, too complex for quote
I'll have the final say,
Like the rope to
the boat to the dock, you're not free yet, man
You're sick, stuck, caught, sick in the head,
Stuck
to the bed, you're dumbfed
Diseased with that mononuclear, what I look like money?!
That
latin listening to Coolio? So I ask,
What was your mom's task when she had you?
If fully she
knew that through all of her pain
Her baby was born without brain and insane and just plain,
no
style! No smile, your memories are worth a shitpile to me
You believe that you're free?!!
Man, free from your mom,
Free from the man and most of all free from me but you see,
I've caught
you! My bad you don't really exist,
So I got to, explain this so when I tell you how not to,
You
won't do it, I'm screwin your thinkin!
I know I exist and I prove it cause I'm listening to you
But
I ask, what if God was an evil genius who only made you believe you were
true?
And your life
was nothing man! Just a really long dream
And when you die you'll start a whole new life, a whole
new dream
But that was just a dream, and it seems man you can't break out the cycle
Am I crazy?
Go to your church and ask your white God if I'm right though,
Whatever he replies will be lies,
we've already established this evil,
When I'm lying, you don't exist but merely as emotion
and perceival,
Believe you'll be round tomorrow kid, yo,
You've borrowed time with no entrance,
And
since you're a dream I can mentally put on the pinch
And you disappear in an instant,

Is this thread like one of those contests, where the last one to take his hand off the truck wins $1000 or something? (Only explanation I could come up with why it's still so densely populated.)

Keith Harris (kharris1128), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 04:03 (twenty years ago) link

Touch The Truck as a metaphor for ILM is yet another reason why this is the best thread ever.

Awww, I lost the ILM popularity contest.

yeah, I totally got "owned" in thread, especially by cinnablount, who didn't actually pay attention to what I was arguing.

Man, this thread was one lame fuck with ddrake thread nearly from the beginning.

What a fucking joke.

ddrake, Tuesday, 18 November 2003 04:17 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, that's how we all start our threads around here.

I clearly didn't mean it as an insult. You know that, so you really can shut up about it.

Clearly, this thread hasn't been a bunch of mutherfuckers jumping down my neck from the beginning.

well it hasn't! it might have gotten intense, but I think most everybody was trying to discuss things with you! yes even Blount! elliptical discussion doesn't mean it's not discussion, heated discussion doesn't mean it's not discussion, even way-overheated discussion still counts!

not "paranoid": just "defensive," maybe justifiably so, but the puzzling thing about getting defensive is that it usually fails to provide much protection/shelter/however one wants to describe what being defensive does.

IN THE EVENT YOUR FRIENDLY MODERATOR DOESN'T LOCK A THREAD, JUST STOP POSTING ALREADY, SILLY MAN

(please don't take that as 'jumping on you' or something. i'm trying to help ya out)

oops (Oops), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 04:33 (twenty years ago) link

I remain opposed to the locking of this thread!

J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 04:36 (twenty years ago) link

I didn't really see it as people trying to "discuss" things with me. Blount's "elliptical" discussion was him accusing me of thinking that progressive hip hop involved incorporating the work of old dead white people. (the opposite of what I actually argued.)
I enjoy the heated-discussion aspect.
I don't like the constant jabs at me, personal and otherwise, from member of this board - which have been quite constant. I'm all for people disagreeing. And the way I initially phrased my remarks was intended to create a heated discussion.
But things got out of control, and when people stopped actually discussing the issue with me and it became an issue of

"I can't think of any other occasional on ilx where someone has had their ass as out and out schooled as ddrake on this thread. and I still think any further 'engagement' with him from any ilxors is tantamount to running up the score."

Yeah, what a "game" it was. I don't really see how my opinion was "owned" at all. Certainly there were minor flaws in my argument, but no more than in anyone else's. And I admitted it when their were and refined my argument par the course. But there was some SERIOUS ganging-up-on-ddrake going on. Not just the cyberstalking, but what amounted to harrassment of ME rather than a discussion of my ideas. Or even a HEATED discussion of my ideas.
See the difference, Ned? (if you're out there?)
I attacked your LIST
You attacked ME.

ddrake, Tuesday, 18 November 2003 04:37 (twenty years ago) link

And I am in favor of locking this thread because I think that while aspects of this discussion were interesting and informative, the majority of it was bullshit.
