Oh man, flashbacks.

Bred Spadgett

A vision.

I guess Tep would be my answer — he's been an influence on my approach to food and drink the past dozen years — but really more for posts on his blogs and FB than on ILX.

'transformative' is too strong, but djp has introduced me to some a+ industrial musics, made me think about race more/differently, and is funny as shit

"influence" is strong b/c i have no idea how he does what he does nor could i begin to approach it but dude is amazing

vahid has had a big influence on my music taste and i would not be djing if it wasn't for him.

What shakey said. Alfred and morbs have great taste in movies. Also salvqd

SAlvador saca who no longer posts here

the movie assholes haven't actually inspired me to watch better movies but i do look down on a wider range of people now

What do you mean qualx

Feels weird to look down on anyone on ilx - this site is an abbreviation of who people are. I'm much different outside of here and not so eloquent or funny when posting. I find it hopeless to assume someone's character only by online posts

lol i mean people on the internet in general

all those ILXoRz who lured me out to Seattle that one year. 2007? was it that long ago? that totally had a profound effect on me. it really helped build my confidence when i really needed that in a serious way. just getting on a plane was huge for me. flying and public speaking! two of my biggest fears. everything about it was some sort of step forward. it was hard and so rewarding. there are too many people to even name who led me there and who i was fortunate enough to spend time with. but i never would have done anything like that in a million years without the encouragement of the people here. it was so scary and it really did change me. everyone was so nice. ned has always been so encouraging and positive over the years toward me and i really appreciate that so much. it means a lot. i feel the same way about filthy phil freeman putting me in that book of his. that was also huge and a lifeline to a wider world that i needed desperately at the time. it also taught me that i could do better work than i thought i could. again, a push forward. EVERYONE i've met from here - and i've met dozens of people irl - has been SO nice and funny and fun to talk to. no exceptions. so many smart people. i always feel enriched after a conversation with them. i even get to hang out with tarfumes the escape goat sometimes. and learn new keith moon info.

Scott, you're great

otm

I learnt a lot from Ned about how to behave online. Not saying it's necessarily always taken, but I'm a lot less likely to be self-centred/dickish thanks to him. Cheers

Wow, was about to say Scott Seward was/is the poster I gain insight/humour/musical tips from most, when he does it once again b4 I can even answer the original thread question. Over the years have also learned ALOT from Alfred, Ned, and Tyler too. But S.W. is the main one. And I look forward to a long future of more hip knowledge and long distance friendships from/with all of you. Mentioned and otherwise.

sorry if I missed anyone I'm immediately thinking of a bunch of you calstars dog latin brimstead morbz na man alive stevie deux clouds maps + all the ILH crew thanks

cad k3vin lagoon too many to mention

Ultimately though its hard to just say one person. I mean for various reasons Geir, Whieny (sic)Bimble (rip),that insane woman who was hawking her thousand dollar CD of tuneless hippie um "music". The Killing Joke guy. Over the years all these and more enriched my life in many, many ways over the years. ILX is easily one of the most enjoyable, and interesting sites I suspect I'll ever peruse. Thanks all of you. Re:Marcos is right, it's near impossible to pick just one.

Ethan p, Ally k, Nitsuh, Jess h, NV, John D, Momus, Abbott, Roxy

noodle's probably taught me the most about being skeptical of subjectivity w/r/t music

cad has had the best effect on my liquor cabinet

Milton Parker has helped me to take music more seriously, to look deeper

Ronan local Garda said something about wearing nice socks even if nobody knows you know you're wearing nice socks once and now I wear nice socks.

We're talking about irl here deems not your ilx habits

Socks life of the potato man

scott's seattle paper was the best i saw that year

All of Scott's presentations at Pop Con have been top notch great. And thanks to him, Alb and Vyrna of course!

I always pay attention to Ronan's book recs

estela wrote this on thread Having a crush on someone for an extended period of time but never having the guts to say anything - c or d? on board I Love Everything on 23.10.2007

have you stopped to think that if you find the right girl now you'll miss out on all the wrong girls.

Alfred taught me that you can be smooth and classy and have an undying love for Rush's Power Windows

Tuomas has made me question everything I thought I knew.

aero, stevie and alex in MTL have all saved my life (literally) off-board. I knew aero before ILX but met the other two through this site. Thank you, site

Scott and DJP are my favourite posters and have most influenced my outlook on life

maura and katherine are two of my favourite writers

estela is my favourite comedy entity

alfred and lex's cultural digestive enzymes are so oblique to my own and it's been amazing to get their perspectives

Milton Parker and sarahel for challenging me on my bullshit

VG and emil.y for being compassionate and funny

I knew wgw before ilx also but he's always the entertainment and frankly his end-of-year compilations would keep me logging in til dead

Everybody else contributes so much there were some posters I didn't like but I don't see them much any more

just control-F'd this page and I'm kinda relived I haven't transformed anyone's life

la lechera and UMS!

tylerw too

ooh yeah tylerw has done the lords work on the Pink Floyd thread <3 <3

Rex Sweeney, a now mostly forgotten poster who confined himself to Ask A Drunk back when AAD was a living, breathing entity. He was the heart and soul of the place back when AAD was almost the only thing keeping me propped up and functioning.

dan m transformed my life

scott turned me on to an incredible amt of great records.
