There was a thread on "music giganticism" that I can never find, must be de-indexed.

Gigantism, not giganticism...

Big Love: is anyone watching this?

Thanks Jaq, how did you do that?!? I've been using the search thing and getting nothing.

First, there was a loud annoying BEEP BEEP BEEP but the database wouldn't get out of the way, so I just rolled over it and squooshed out T. Kinkade!

― Jaq (Jaq), Sunday, 26 March 2006 05:44 (twenty years ago)

Very droll...

I can't find the thread on ILM about dj sets defining the "sound" of 2005. nathan fake and mandy were mentioned in there. I can't think of other keywords right now. can someone help?

― rory@, Tuesday, 28 March 2006 22:53 (twenty years ago)

um, the thread where everyone swapped arts projects, like the good old indiepop tape swap (anyone?) but with arts and crafty things. might've been a jel thread.

On what thread was it where two funny posters went back and forth for about a hundred posts, one posting an animated gif of frat guys juggling their balls and the other going "thank you sir may I have another"?

That comic strip with the "Love Is"-esque indie boy and girl going to a gig, dancing, getting together, breaking up then doing it all again. Later Photoshopped into a rave version for Ronan, with E making the boy Mr Floppy. But I want the original!

There was a thread recently with a Ned Raggett post recently about wanting to avoid feeling like a curmudgeon and keep up with the new, but also kind of feeling like a curmudgeon at the same time.

That's all I can remember -- maybe the thread was about all of the music available on the internet nowadays, or something about keeping up with new styles, but I'm not sure. Anyone?

Wasn't there a poll recently about which island nation produced the greatest music?

― Cattedrale metropolitana di Santa Maria de Episcopio, Thursday, 26 March 2026 21:24 (three months ago)

Jamaica!

(Hmm, Britain is also an island nation)

― Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 26 March 2026 21:38 (three months ago)

Thread from a year or two ago (?), in the genre of threads about much-hyped acts whose critical standing has since shifted, and specifically where it turned into a long hard look at The Hooters and their peers.

― Mighty Morphin Is The Subject of My Sentence (Doctor Casino), Sunday, 29 March 2026 03:12 (three months ago)

I may also be thinking of The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

― Mighty Morphin Is The Subject of My Sentence (Doctor Casino), Sunday, 29 March 2026 11:15 (three months ago)

a long hard look at The Hooters

phrasing

― assert (matttkkkk), Sunday, 29 March 2026 11:41 (three months ago)

my attempt at Google searching ilxor.com for "Hooters" turned up far worse, i fear

Doc Casino, was it this?

Past Critics' Darlings Re-evaluated as Duds?

― Josefa, Sunday, 29 March 2026 13:06 (three months ago)

Yes! Thank you. Less locked on to The Hooters than I'd remembered, but that's definitely the Fabulous Thunderbirds commentary I had in mind.

― Mighty Morphin Is The Subject of My Sentence (Doctor Casino), Sunday, 29 March 2026 15:55 (three months ago)

lol at "a year or two ago" meaning "from 2009 and i read it in 2021"

― Mighty Morphin Is The Subject of My Sentence (Doctor Casino), Sunday, 29 March 2026 16:16 (three months ago)

Was there a thread of terrible adverts you've been served on FB or wherever, or did I imagine it?

May 4th is coming up. Is there an ILM thread dedicated to songs in 5/4? I’m making a playlist and I need ideas.

― Mr. Snrub, Saturday, 2 May 2026 17:17 (one month ago)

Because good luck searching for “5/4” in the search.

― Mr. Snrub, Saturday, 2 May 2026 17:18 (one month ago)

time signature choices

― Serfin' USA (sleeve), Saturday, 2 May 2026 17:21 (one month ago)

Songs that fool you about where the downbeat is.

I guess this is the closest thing. 5/4 just isn’t a very common time signature in music, har har.

― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 4 May 2026 11:02 (one month ago)

This thread has some - search: pop songs with weird time signatures and metric shifts

― Maresn3st, Monday, 4 May 2026 11:22 (one month ago)

This is one of my favourite 5/4 songs -

― Maresn3st, Monday, 4 May 2026 11:23 (one month ago)

Searching through the DePaul University library's LP collection in the late nineties, I turned up this extended version of one of the most famous songs in 5/4 time, Dave Brubeck's "Take Five".
While the original studio version is the gold standard, this goes to all kinds of amazing places with stretched-out exploration of the five feel. This is an epic live take. Have a good 5/4
