solitary posts that effortlessly summarize the spirit of ILX

btw unlike harmony and tone, timbre is a completely subjective term

mmmm, not quite. tonal sounds get their timbre because they contain different combinations of harmonic partials. when I said figure out the timbral and harmonic nature of the sounds he's using I mean I've been loading the tracks into spectrograms and looking at the relative amplitude of each partial.

idk I'm pretty sure I am the only person who does that ever

kesäcrüta

you can't get two people or a two machines to reliably identify two different sounds as having the same or different timbre in any reliable way, as opposed to things like loudness and tone and rhythm

Damn, Im laughing me arse and balls off at those crazy finnish words.

Perhaps you should ask ex-Flaming Lips guitarist Ronald Jones, who is of African-American and Filipino descent.

i think it's silly to try and 'intellectualize' yourself into be more anti-intellectual

Remembered this thread and got all excited, all scampering around nude with a Yuengling. Jump into the shower to find that my wife had just finished shaving the dog and the stall smelled like a pooch.

some dude made me want to start a "terrible lyrics that work within the song's context" but it would just end up being dominated by New Order and Beyonce

You know there are like 458,343 posts like this, but I like when anyone apologizes for using the same word twice in one post. It happens 3-4x a week. "I can't believe I used the word 'gently' twice! Forgive me, everyone!"

RITIN' ROOLS

I like can't believe you used like "like" like three times in like one sentence abbbottt.

only god and strunk and white can judge me

what, seriously? that's an obvious reference?

my guess would be that ilx can be effortly summarized as a place where people list & rate arbitrary & tenuously related collections of film & music

that's the internet
also college

i could be wrong & suspect nakhchivans reasoning is more oblique ?

studio apartment, somewhere new

i thought maybe the joke was that they all received average to poor ratings, effortlessly summarizing the spirit of ILX, which is sometimes "i hate everything". but then, a few of the grades were B+, which is pretty good, so i don't know.

Yeah, how 2/5 stars equals a D- is beyond me.

a true enigma

5/5 = A range
4/4 = B range
3/5 = C range
2/5 = D range
1/5 = F

I like grades better than numbers, but numbers seem to be the preferred system of the thread, so I thought I'd include both (your WELCOME). A D- is a bad movie and best avoided, but still has something that keeps it being a complete one-star/grade F failure. A D- isnt a failure, but no one wants D's so these films should try harder.

(this post, btw, can also double as another entry in the thread)

if only we'd listened

I feel like anyone who hasn't experienced the frustration of participating in a clusterfuck via smartphone has not really 'experienced' this era of ilx

the next era will be defined by arguing while using google glasses
