Why do people leave ILX for good?

my consultancy fee can be found in my bio

there's a sort of wild psychedelic freedom hidden in this music that i'm absolutely barmy for. like at their best they could be among the foremost exponents of the american wpf, just like the boredoms are for japanese, julian cope for english, faust for german etc idk what even is freedom

the wpf/corny bar-band line is narrow, though

tylerw of aerosmith, ljagger of the stones, it's an easy mistake to make imo

the louche, leering dandypants posters of ilx

if a band now emulated the sound of those early ozric tentacles tapes of shaggy krautrock/hawkwind stuff they would totally be beloved by the hep brooklyn weed crowd.

in imago.xls, Evan is and will always be 'the Swirlies guy', which actually puts you in very good stead with me tbh

Ship of Fools reminds me of some of my favourite tracks by The Band, though much longer and terrible.

I don't mind being the Swirlies guy at all! Discovering them was an awakening for me.

Swirley to rise

i think a key turning point for me is the moment an old thread comes up on something you have an opinion on, you log in to post your opinion, and then you discover you posted the exact same opinion in that exact same thread three years ago. that's offputting.

another phenomena that's probably related is the way people talk hagiographically now about certain albums or movies that you can remember discussing live on here when they first came out. i dunno, it felt really weird to see the chromatics poll the other day. sorry!

i grow old, i grow old, the albums of my youth are now being polled

that's why u should rotate yr opinions every 2-3 years, prevents embarrassing dbl posts

rotate yr usernames

all the best have done it

i was old when ilx started so this is good not bad

sleepingbag used to be mattresslessness iirc

Is dayo basically saying he migrated to twitter because http://quotespics.com/wp-content/quote-images/i-get-older-they-stay-the-same-age.jpg

lol no omar

nomar was someone else bud

No he wasn't

sleepingbag is definitely not mattresslessnesss

except in the one sense

Oh I guess that was the joke

ok lol i am not a very quick one i admit

jeez guys

Tbf I kind of skipped over the context

itt people sleeping!

Get woke

i've got a lot of experience slinging invective.

why do people leave ILX for food?

sick of pizza and tacos.

I have some food in my bag for you, not that edible food, the food you eat? No. I have some food for thought. It's called ILX.

btw deems I elected not to say "lads" to a black woman who disliked having young English men repeatedly tell her that wearing blackface to a party was funny

I respect yr position

does lass carry the same undertone?

any lass specialists?

britisher 45 dealer in my store right now who once promoted an angelic upstarts show near sheffield. should ask him to join ILX? y/n

he lives at the mouth of the river esk currently.

yes!

The landlord of a local pub apparently roadied for the Upstarts amongst others (I assume Big Audio Dynamite since he's got loads of posters of them on the walls). He's got Peter & The Test Tube Babies, Charlie Harper of the UK Subs and John Otway to play gigs there in the last year or so. I don't actually go out drinking locally because I don't know anyone here but I could ask him to join ILX next time they have some ancient creaking punks play at his pub.

i think a key turning point for me is the moment an old thread comes up on something you have an opinion on, you log in to post your opinion, and then you discover you posted the exact same opinion in that exact same thread three years ago. that's offputting.

As my opinions can often change or almost certainly refine on certain issues ilx has proved to be almost a diary that keeps a log on my thinking - mostly on certain films, music or books.

surely the correct approach is to quote your entire earlier post and add "otm"

Yeah but I want Mordy to hate me in other ways so.

i gave that guy a sick deal on a super rare wigan casino floorfiller. i don't know what i was thinking. i like putting money in the bank. fuck a paypal.

what was it

lie dream of a casino soul

I just learned abt that from ian!

WHAT WHAT

that the song "Lie Dream Of A Casino Soul" by The Fall is actually about the dance scene at the Wigan!

Was it Turning My Heartbeat Up because that's all-time.

as the potential buyers for punk memorabilia get older the market will peak and then decline as the desire to hang onto a piece of their youth fades. you may not have sold at the absolute peak, but I bet you did ok.
