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?

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Friday, 2 June 2006 00:01 (twenty years ago)

Where's the thread for nirvana/kurt cobain references in hip hop lyrics?

Jon, I most likely listen to more rap than you do. Or is it forbidden for me to talk about it 'cause I'm not American?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 2 June 2006 08:42 (twenty years ago)

OMG somebody find those threads where we acted like these bands that Alex in NYC made up actually existed!

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

― Cattedrale metropolitana di Santa Maria de Episcopio, Thursday, March 26, 2026 5:24 PM (three days ago)

Which of these islands has the best music?

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 (two months ago)

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
