Please help me find this thread....

i remember u liking it

thread were we did that thing were you hit random on wikipedia and get the name of your band, and then search flickr and use random and that's your album cover, and then something else for the title etc?

Turns out there were two of these:

Randomly Generate Fake Album Covers (2009 Facebook craze done ILM style)
your own album cover internet meme

thank you. i did search, but i'm not great at searching.

Use google instead and search from outside, that's the only way I ever manage to do these things.

The second thread also has the reference to the lost film Human Wreckage, which has been haunting me ever since I read about it.

i just wanted to know the name of my band album, "mr do's castle" was at the tip of my tongue.

i used to use google instead of the search but at some stage i'd forgotten that's how you do it.

lost films are weird/sad.

Can somebody direct me to that fat, hairy, scowling guy in his tiny bedroom, posing in his way-too-revealing leathers and his guns, of which there are many? You know the guy.

(I thought it was linked to "So not gonna happen" in some way, but if so, I couldn't see the link.)

What about that one WDYLL thread from a few years ago where some female ILXor (Abbott I think?) posted a picture of her sitting in a hotel room and over the next 24 hours tons of ppl started Photoshopping it and when she came back to the thread she was just like "wtf this is creepy"

xpost many thanks!

Does anyone remember a thread where every poster was an animal? They all had names like Ossie Ostrich and Barbara Bear and so on. The thread title was something like "Harry Hamster's Thread for Animals Only", but I can't recall the exact words.

Never mind, I found it:

Bernard Badger's Animals-Only Zone: NO HUMANS ALLOWED

i can't find the thread i started about how frequently you think about your irrelevance in the context of the universe. not showing up when i search for threads started under my login, maybe it was in the sandbox?

i wouldn't worry about it.

We are but a little gleam of time between two Eternities, so why then did I spend two hours standing in front of the copy machine today?

nope not it, it was one i started.

Where is the Norway movie posters thread?

What was the thread that was something like minature nostalgic stories of hearing a particular song?

i have a vague memory of a good old nabisco post about the way people use irony (and "getting irony") to mark in-group/out-group status on the internet...does that ring any bells?

seems people have gotten a little too creative with the naming of wdyll threads (the last one that shows up on a search for wdyll is from june of this year) and they're now impossible to find

do you look like what, september 2015?

hehe, sorry! i named that one. if you search for what do you look like 2015 it's the first result, but i should have added (wdyll) to it as well

There used to be a thread that might have been kept in I Love Vinyl that was made up of the radio station playlists of a few different ILXORS. I found so much great music through those playlists but I don't know whatever became of the thread.... anyone have any idea?

a thread for radio shows & play lists

2012 RADIO

2013 RADIO

2014 Radio

Thank you! Hopefully a 2015 one will pop up....

what was the thread about people who had more than one accomplishment?

People who excel at more than one artform

?

Yep!

the ilm thread about singing different words/lyrics to tunes in your head

Do you have weird alternative lyrics for songs that play in your head?

The Mobb Deep: Joy Division of rap thread

Ty wins <3

Is it possible that there isn't a generic thread for selling books?

(I don't think this is even the "help me find this thread.." thread that I had in mind, but ... I can't find the other one)

Here you go

This is the thread where we ask people to dig up things on ILX we can't find

can someone point me to the thread of unlikely celebrity photos

You mean the one with celebrities you're surprised to see photographed together?

Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same.

??

^ That's the one I meant. TY.

I don't know if it's the one KS meant but I suspect it might be.

THANKS!!

where's the thread that's something like "same name, different guy"

found a local news article about a robert smith

WRONG DUDE

many thanks

is this the thread where we ask if there's a thread for a particular subject? feel like there was another one

anyway, is there a cathc-all thread for worthwhile online reading material? like a thread where you can post links to articles, essays etc. that might help other users with boring desk jobs not feel like they're doing something remotely meaningful in their browser

There's this? Rolling Long Form Article Thread

not bad, thanks

wish it were more active

wasn't there a thread for discussing obscure artists/songs that by accident become extremely popular on streaming services because of glitches in the recommendation algorithms?

This one?

Songs that became famous because of a system glitch

thanks!

also found this one obscurity in the age of streaming

When I see contemporary movies or shows set in the '70s or early '80s, times I remember, I always notice actors getting the inflections wrong. Because inflections and rhythms of everyday speech are constantly changing. That's usually more of a problem than anachronistic vocabulary in the scripts.

But to the other point, it happens all the time that I'm watching a film from the early 1930s and an actor uses an expression I thought was coined decades later.

what was the thread where ppl would post screen caps from movies and you'd have to guess what it was? that one was cool

whoa i was thinking about that thread just yesterday.

what movie is this still taken from?

nice thanks
