feel kinda bad for just now starting to realize this, but laurel is constantly & rigorously otm

how has no one mentioned brainwasher

race
tipping
pizza
ban

brainwasher would be on the mount rushmore for R&B threads no doubt but it's not like homie posts on the board in general that much

I hate you all btw

When I post on the political threads, I got goole, Shakey, and aerosmith covering every one of my flanks, and I love'em all.

^^^^

yes we saw that post & al then pointed out that while hes a key R&B thread dude he barely participates in other parts of the board

hes one of my fav posters but doesnt make much sense to bring up in the context of this thread

sorry mate feeling cranky for some reason ^___^

hey man way to drop a deej in this thread

I'm glad that you have such stringent marking criteria in your big4ilm.xls

2 people asked "how has no one mentioned brainwasher," 2 people answered the question

hey way to turn a kip thread to show love for ILMers into a turgid lifeless exercise in beancounting

the whole 'aspie' thing on ilx is officially out of hand if you start making those jokes when someone counts to 2

deej didn't make 'big 4', but he's def. in my top 10; he was totally inspirational in the 'Things every music critic should do before publishing a review' thread...

wrong syndrome, dude, some

^clever

mmmmm dim sum

I dunno I think a thread like this is quintessential ILM, tbh

we are taxonimizing ourselves i meanq

big 4 beefs:

glad to see someone go to bat for tartare, a beef of often unsung virtue.

the sashimi of the pasture.

one half of all meat sold in the united states is infected with staph.

oh wait a quarter of all meat. i don't read the news very carefully.

oh wait no its half! depends on what you read.

now what

Is this a most famous posters on ILM? For musicians I’d say Owen Pallett is one of the biggest in here that is frequently active.

i think neil young (neanderthal) is more famous than owen pallett

Neanderthal is Neil Young!? How did I not know this.

Is there a thread for a who’s who or how do you all have this common knowledge.

I just very recently found out JD Twitch is around ILM too.

feel like bradnelson is a pivotal ilm lodestar

i'm the 100 gecs dude

Being the 100gecs dude doesn’t count as being big anywhere.

xxpost yeah they've seriously been one of the best posters across the board over the past idk five years? longer? my sense of board time is really distorted these days.

yeah thirded, bradnelson is top shelf

this is for ILM thinkfluencers, not famous posters

agree. also Tim F's approval is essentially papal

that said, popularity circlejerks are nagl, ur all v wise and interesting

agreed

instead of a big 4 posters imo we should work out the big 4 differences ILM has from other music communities

here's my effort

- poptimism was won so long ago and so firmly that pop is kind of ancient lore & rite here, not something new and exotic that we're suddenly allowed to like. this puts ILM at odds with other communities that I've seen going through the same wars we did 15 years ago

- by far the best EOY polls & celebrations in existence

- absolute intolerance of fatuous thinking, which is mostly a positive but also sometimes i do feel a tiny, tiny bit sorry for the Turricans of this earth. adapt or die tho tbh, i did

- definite progressive agenda forcing regular posters to go without their usual anglocentric listening habits (while also still catering to the latter plenty) - again, a v good thing, even if u all diss indie 2 much sometimes

anglocentric/manocentric. an ilx alltime canon would be much, much more female than almost all the other canons, and frankly, good

specific user such as imago

shoutout to voodoo chili almost singlehandedly keeping rap thread alive now that deej is a mountain climber who plays the electric guitar

lol

I played guitar in an unsuccessful indie-rock band in Glasgow around 2002-2003 so I'm a pretty big deal

may he forever climb

shoutout to saer and vahid for constantly dropping techno house heaters old and new

agreed. and breastcrawl for afro stuff, dow for country, morrisp for pop. There's a nice collection of about 25 people on this board who do a good job patrolling genres of choice.

shoutout to colonel poo & gott punch 2 hawk wind (up da punx)

saer is a treasure, even if it's not always my thing I admire his aesthetic & commitment

Brad is essential, always happy to see the passion & breadth of taste

Really I appreciate everyone on the jazz and various dance music/electronic threads
