ILx "first mentions"

[Oh come on!!! Keith West's 'Excerpt From A Teenage Opera' aka 'Grocer Jack' is one of the finest records ever made, the children's choir being a key element in it, and indeed a lot of toytown psyche.
My first post. What fun.

Aw, The Field Mice get mentioned on a thread yesterday and now you dig out an old post by dear old Harvey. Those were the days.

he was a pioneer in the field of excerpting

Thread was 'the concept of "talent": C/D?'

the concept of "talent": C/D?

Trawling through the results with just the surname is beyond my patience.

Not helped by the presence of the venerable and highly regarded ILXor, Mr Raymond Cummings.

♪♫ caek's corner ♪♫

Might have know nakh would have been first to mention him.

My searching skills leave something to be desired. Only a few days off though.

i only just started reading this piece this morning (and already lol-hiccuped at chinaski's first quote)

a few days back a US musicwriter (never an ilxor i don't think tho i have met them IRL) (they seemed nice!) announced with anticipatory pleasure that they were setting this piece aside to read "like slipping into a warm bath" which very nearly caused me to jump into a tweetbeef before i remembered "let ppl like things" sometimes has a kindness to it -- is good reading ever a warm bath? no. BUT relaxing warm baths are likely needful in These Trying Times™ and who knows what griefs and stresses this writer is currently dealing with -- so no beef for them this week

on the other hand (in anticipation of beef to come) lol wtf

lol

A warm bath is just what you want after slitting your wrists iirc.

Like it is not acceptable for anyone to run on the "let's shoot em" ticket.

But all tickets are that ticket, unless/until they take explicitly take the position AGAINST being that ticket as a signature issue. That's what it means for white supremacy to be the default setting. That's why the term "anti-racism" is purposefully different from "not racist," because it has to be intentional or else things fall back to status quo, which is that black lives matter less.

the controversy/reactionary treehouse keeps on going. as always, david futrelle digs into it so you don't have to

the latest turn is just totally bizarre

Whoa

well deserved, good work everyone

seeing Billboard getting a 2016 credit is sort of like when Laura Keunssberg explained shitposting!

Fame at last.

I randomly remembered that I'd tweeted at the OED about this, and so it just occurred to me to check to see whether they'd done anything with it. So maybe it's been in there for a while. In any case, what a delight.

too bad Stan isn't here to see all this

I wrote him, but he still ain't calling

Waited outside in the blistering POLL.

lol

Only times I had something to do with them, theyve tried to beat me up, shoot in my direction (pretty close, but only one time) or arrest me. Im glad its in the past. But still, whenever I see a cop I react the same way as when I see a skinhead; with disgust. ACAB, for sure..

Dates back to the 1920s though - when there was no ILX, or even Belle & Sebastian forums.

t/s 4-Skins fanzines vs Belle & Sebastian forums.

wiki page on ACAB is interesting

aged 7 or 8 i remember my dad singing "all coppers are bastards" to the tune of the line "pop does the weasel" when he didn't know i could hear him -- and then (to my mum's tremendous glee) having to explain to me what it means, why someone would say it, and finally why "bastard" is a bad word that it isn't polite to use

lol

well i can't unhear that now

"A million times more greasy than they actually are": are you suggesting some alien-derived mind control which actually makes crisps seem greasier than necessary to us, allowing a reduction in the use of expensive-but-tasty grease in the manufacture of our favourite potato based snack?
And search: bags of those fishy old Scampi Fries containing more than 5 fries. And destroy: Cheese Moments, which surely contain the most repulsive cheese-like substance ever to have been imported from space? Some competition here, I know.

history was made that day

lol guess who said "a million times more greasy than they actually are" tho

(actually "a million times more soggily greasy than they actually are")

WHICH MADE NO MORE SENSE.

On admission I will admit to having put a Scampi Fry between two Bacon Fries and eaten it like a very small sandwich.

apologies to all, i meant a TRILLION times

sense restored

JFC.

Twenty years of this. TWENTY YEARS.

Bob Seger is awesome. Anita Baker? What would anyone have against Anita Baker? She is awesome.
You have to remove "Wonderful, Tonight" and most other classics because I would imagine _someone_ on ILM will be down. And England Dan and JFC are also klassic. Love Is The Answer, indeed.

I would take aim on Hootie or Spin Doctors [Little Miss Can't Be Wrong, anyone?] for ILM most-hated. Semisonic's closing time would be my guess...

BUT I was thinking of Proud To Be An American this morning. I saw it on a bumper sticker and I'm certainly NOT, so... yes... mr. g-wood in tha funkee hiz-ouse.

retrospective FP for Cheese Moments heresy

au contraire, tim otm. i've had one cheese moment and it scarred me for life.

no theyre good, you didnt have enough is the fact of it

Twenty years of pus eaters and grease imaginers.

its resultant paste all the way down is how i break it down to an extent

This disparagement will not stand

ugh now there's an army of moths hovering around the nightlight outside and their hundreds of babies have found their way in here.

have i mentioned i hate bugs?
