LOL I knew of Momus 15 years prior to showing up here, I recall my bf of the time saying "whats this shit, it sounds like a B grade Pet Shop Boys" while I was playing "hairstyle of the devil".

Am sure you’ll all be pleased to hear that he’s writing a memoir to be published next year by Farrar Straus Giroux. Good for him.
― suzy, Monday, 11 March 2019 23:40 (seven years ago)
I can't hate on Momus; I refuse to hate on anyone who's also a fan of David Sylvian's music.
Except he had a grump about not ever doing anything on BBC2.
The song gained him at least one new Transatlantic fan, though, so.

Momus was a tweaker of noses, but he took himself too seriously in his role as a parody of people who take themselves too seriously.

Is there something actually wrong with his eye or is the patch just an affectation?
― mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 20:54 (seven years ago)
something actually wrong
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 20:54 (seven years ago)
he lost an eye from an infection from an improperly stored contact lens iirc
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 20:54 (seven years ago)
all covered in depth on momuspedia
― mh, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 20:56 (seven years ago)
I suppose it can be both, now that I think about it.
― mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 22:16 (seven years ago)
Xpost he also covered it on here too!
― Mark G, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 22:19 (seven years ago)
Actually, he uncovered it on here too, thinking about it..
(ie, added a photo)
― Mark G, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 22:20 (seven years ago)
he did iirc
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 22:38 (seven years ago)
i definitely have thought about what i would do if i lost an eye: glass-eye like peter falk or eye-patch like momus?
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 22:39 (seven years ago)
momus is a talented guy.
― akm, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 22:48 (seven years ago)
Did not need reminding of his uncovering tbrh
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 23:00 (seven years ago)
he does have some vision in it iirc and had some surgery to make it a little better
― mh, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 04:17 (seven years ago)
Maybe Trayce was talking about some other uncovering.
― pplains, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 13:30 (seven years ago)

real ilx history question: list the ilxors who started out on the sinister board, migrated here, and stuck around

Alixxx was probably from sinister too - did Kat ever post here?
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 16:09 (seven years ago)
Kat was not Sinister. Grandpoint Genie was though!
― Stevie T, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 16:14 (seven years ago)

I dunno how you define stuck around, but IIRC all the people Andrew listed posted here for years.
I thought you meant still posting.
― The Vangelis of Dating (Tom D.), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 19:14 (seven years ago)
he means stuck around in the sense of ended up not sticking around
― mark s, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 19:26 (seven years ago)

What is the cut off point for ILX history? What defined ILX this decade historically?
― nashwan, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:03 (seven years ago)
hmm beyond generally "mellowing out" it's hard to separate out from general changes in internet and discursive culture in the same period imo.
― |Restore| |Restart| |Quit| (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:07 (seven years ago)
What is the cut off point for ILX history? the Luna incident
What defined ILX this decade historically? polls
― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:09 (seven years ago)
the eternal now, signified by a lack of tumult (or relatively predictable tumult) in the lives of long-term posters
symptoms include drop-off in number of posters or frequency of posting as people end up more engaged in jobs/family/obligations, less interest in bombastic modes of argument, and the recycling of previous discourse around genre conventions
― mh, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:12 (seven years ago)
not being good or funny
― ~mine own~ bitcoin (darraghmac), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 21:12 (seven years ago)
