dunno if a positive statement about ILX can summarise the spirit of ILX tbh

lmao

It's moments like this that make me truly realize the gaps that separate us & how alone in the world each of us is! Like, I cannot even fathom the inner workings of a human being who feels this is the best music s/he heard in the year 2015. Even if you lived last year on a unihabited island and it was the only CD you managed to bring along, surely the seagulls would be preferable to... this?

Big reveal

Finn T really bringing it in the '16

that is a treat. delightful

Have u even heard the seagulls new track tho

i too am enjoying this old man yelling at clouds phase of tuomas's ilx career even if it turns me into a tedious pedant about "my" subject.

whites i know it's very tempting to announce our self-consciously half-baked opinions (perhaps w/ the defense that they're just "challops") even when we know fully well that they're irrelevant and unnecessary, but how about we try to refrain?

however are we going to deal with the embarrassing overpraise of calling an album the best in 4 months

Finally listened to it this morning after not caring for either of the songs he released beforehand. I don't even know if I like it or not. I don't hate it, but it's just so fucking dull.

I wonder if there was a shop that bands that wanted to get an Earth, Wind and Fire look could go, like some big B. Coat Factory for the the hip star child in you.

was tipped off to their existence via a heathcote williams interview i read the other day. amazon review has me kind of curious: ...though the front cover displayed them as futuristic glam-rockers, Wilderness Road actually played a mutant hybrid of mountain music, psychedelia, rock, country and avant political satire

n.b. I voted green in 2012 and have pretty recently come to these kinds of positions. Sorta having an identity crisis about it.

I voted the Green Party in the very first election they had here after I turned 18... I still sometimes feel bad about it (the Greens in here are fairly bourgeoise, dunno why I picked them), it's been the socialists in every election ever since.

Except for the presidential elections, which I always boycott, because fuck the idea that millions of people can be represented by one.

the greens here are sooooorta bourgie hampstead types but also not really and i have no compunction about voting for them, especially when the socialist workers' party is basically an echo-chamber for chauvinism

Oh, thankfully it's not like that here. Most of the old school Marxist chauvinists have either died or they're in the actual communist party, the socialists are fairly progressive and green too.

Here in America voting green is equivalent to saying "I voted for my kids' birthday clown, 'cause he makes me feel good."

My thinking was, in a deep blue state, it wouldn't hurt to vote according to my actual policy positions.

why am I bothering

Bee OK took a poll on ILM as to whether he should run a poll on ILM.

45 people voted against taking part.

not sure what these results mean. i wanted 20 yes votes and fell under that mark. i think i will do it anyways...
