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

on the "artist picture facebook" image macro laff thread there was one a year or so ago that was particularly good: something like, "if a woman walks away, she's either..." and then there were like 3 things that were nonsensically and ungrammatically listed and very grim or at least uninspirational. like, screaming or dying inside was one of them?

anyone?

You remember "This is dog" ?

There was a photostrip thing which had captions, from "Dracula" Gary oldman, can't find it

Last time I looked, I found the movie clip instead.

You know, .. "It's A Joke!"

bump

excellent thank you

what's the thread about whether there is a future for left-wing / liberal (political) thought? i can't come up with the magic word to find it

idk this thread but this one is about general right-wing trends in the west:
Is the West Experiencing a Right-Wing Drift?

naw, i'm sure i'm thinking of an ideas thread not a reality thread

things you're secretly kinda absurdly liberal about ?

naw it's like, does the left have any more oomph in it, that thread

Thread about the miseries of being tall? Lots of banging heads on things. Only other participant I can remember is Carl Agatha.

I hate being a tall man in a small world

this one? there are about a dozen of these threads, though

Thank you! I guess it was not Carl Agatha in that thread.

the fuck. shit. piiiiiiiiss. thread

hmmmm

technically a violation

use "watching/saying" as your search string

Thanks!

Where can I find the most thorough discussion on the topic of whether or not to have kids?

Is there any rational reason for having kids?

thank you!

Photo series. Dracula, incorporating the "Yes., this is dog" pic. 'It's a joke'.

Never seen it since.

Oh well.

Is there a Lawrence Kasdan thread? Or do all Lawrence Kasdan-related posts go onto the Big Chill thread?

does anyone remember the name of the thread where la lachera learns how to play drums and other ilx drum people offer tips and links to cool drum things? i'm afraid i can't compensate you for your help, as i blew all of my remaining GP on chainmail and tents, and i have far to go on this journey. however, i can offer you some information: the water fountain in the ancient town of borad is not merely broken, as many of the inhabitants believe. in fact, it is being used as a secret passageway between the village square and the building where the town's erstwhile mayor is being held under house arrest. i can tell you more, but only if you also tell me the name of the drum thread so i can post my cool link. #resist

nm, mookie saved the day (DRUMMERS: Advice for a beginner)

disregard what i said about the fountain

:D

Is there a trainspotting thread? I can't find one that's just Bout the movie(s)

Hip Hop Stories, Videos, Interviews of Note

?

ah! thx

Hip Hop Stories, Videos, Interviews of Note

protip: check yr own recent contributions

xp

I always just use google with site:ilxor.com "search term". Much better than the native search.

i'm generally not a big fan of the "it works despite its flaws" genre of art criticism and thought this was pretty much maudlin trash but i'm glad it was meaningful to other people

this got me thinking about how lots of the art that is most 'meaningful' to me is stuff that I would probably struggle to defend from criticisms that it was maudlin/trashy/badly-made etc, is there a thread about flawed art that is meaningful to you? (specifically 'meaningful', as distinct from stuff you appreciate on a so-bad-it's-good level, if that's a legitimate distinction?)

there was a recent thread about favorite albums that are not critically regarded. can't remember what is was called right now but a quick search revealed the very similar: Critically Reviled Albums That You Actually Enjoy.

found it: What's the least acclaimed album you love?

Did we ever have a thread about late-90s/early-00s album cover aesthetic? I vaguely remember this being addressed - just this time when everyone was using this Impact-style font and lots of minimalist artwork, usually with LOTS of white space that looked rubbish as soon as the CD case got cracked:

Manic Street Preachers - Lifeblood
Charlatans - Wonderland

are two I can think of but I'm sure we had a thread about it

00's Album Covers featuring graf-style art of two people embracing... (probably not a long thread...)

thankoo

trying to find an ILM thread about artists who arent really covered any more but are still massively popular, or even more popular than they were when they were being covered?

that stage where you think they aren't popular anymore but are actually way more popular than they were when they had "buzz"

a good thread

thanks shakey!

Is there a thread for general bookselling stories/concerns?
