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

I guess ILXors are protective of their shibboleths.

That's what I thought at the time, now I think it's more about a lack of ownership over this stuff and an ambivalence about giving an easy way in to what are perceived as low-quality posters. Also maybe people don't realise quite how much there is, I even forget that "otm" isn't really commonly used outside here.

an ambivalence about giving an easy way in to what are perceived as low-quality posters

Lack of ownership def, but I don't believe the above to be the case. It's more a question of: where to start? I believe there's a thread accompanying santorum.jpg, which covers some ground, but who has the time/energy/desire to compile all of ilx's memes?

Do we have a dictionary of ILX memes?

A hundred and one ILX crazes

I remember a poll at some point. Trying to find it.

ILX Memes that have been around the block a couple times but still got juice like a pomegranate

nevermind, I was definitely thinking of this "best threads" poll

BEST THREAD ON ILX: Part TWO - The Poll

"bear say hi to me" was robbed

^ predates "bear" by about 5 years. yes, that's a good thread.

isn't there a thread about movies with scenes in record stores?

Not exactly searchable

The record store in Kubrick’s “A Clockwork Orange”

looking for the website with the "bad teleconference call" simulator, with all the phrases passing through on a loop with droning music in the background. 90% sure this was a Karl Malone joint, maybe 2-3 years ago?

You are referring to Conference Call Dot Biz

Which yes is the work of our very own mailman

boom, thank you!

haha I just sent that link to an old friend yesterday

Somehow it has now been 6 years! Weird.

Traffic seems to be mildly surging for it again in the coronavirus era

Hi this is wtev, sorry I'm late...

inspired by Hendrix thread title... been wondering for a while, is there a thread featuring examples of guitarists/vocalists throwing to the guitar solo with a corny line? are there enough examples for this to be threadworthy? a fairly boutique enquiry, I will freely allow.

(IMO all-time best example being 'alright doll-face, come on and bore me')

here's a bunch to pick from:
Best spoken intros to guitar solos....
Introducing a musical solo
Best thing a bandleader/singer says to his band to encourage them to rock the fuck out in the middle of a song
genuinely great shouts for the guitarist by the vocalist

Haha brilliant, thanks!

what's the thread for people who excel in two different areas/careers? (e.g., Hedy Lamarr)

just search posts for Hedy Lamarr...

Wow, I can't believe ___________ was the same person who did ____________!

People who excel at more than one artform

ha, good trick thanks!

wasn't there some kinda 'banal texts from mom' thread or something? anyway my mom just sent me a link about how musicians such as Dave Matthews and Billie Elish are selling masks as corona merch with a url that would explode sic's heart on the spot. and that's my post

What's the rolling "indie" jangle/pop thread of this year?

It was bumped four hours ago!

tbf why bother with this year/decade/century?

D'oh, yr right imago!

NV: it's a useful way of dropping recommendations of a certain year into a thread of that year? Other than that, I've got no good answer to "why bother" when it comes to this, or to anything else really.

ignore me being mean about jangly indie pop, i'm so bad at keeping it positive

You being positive abt jangly indie is another thing on ilx we can't find, it's cool :)

full disclosure: i have albums by the June Brides and Trembling Blue Stars and i saw a McCarthy gig once, yay positivity.

is there a good thread to ID a quote ? i wrote out this quote about painting but i can't remember / track down who wrote it. would the "what can't you find on the internet" be the best place ?

you could start a new thread, or put it in any thread at all #onethread

I think "what can't you find on the internet" would be good, yes.

What Can't You Find On The Internet?

Shit, can someone point me to the rolling thread of non-western musics? I'm not having any luck, feel like I'm missing key words or something.

tysm.

does "rolling world music" work?

Rolling Global Outernational Non-West Non-English (Some Exceptions) 2019 Thread Once Known as World Music

is that what you're looking for? (can't find a 2020)

YES!! thank you.

i kept searching "non-western" and getting no results.

Thank you!

thread where songwriters confuse one thing for another

Songs where the songwriter confuses A with B

Thanks!

I can find a 'help me id this song!' thread but can't find one for 'help me ID this film!': does such a thing exist?

Where's that thread that's basically a chill-out room for when ILX is too heated?

help me ID this film = Tuomas's magic typewriter thread, gimme a sec
