ILM is kinda sucking these days (boring and meta ignore not safe for work)

because you really are the worst xp

that word is....travertine.

rolling 2008 list thread for shit to keep mccain from becoming president

does anyone else have particular posters that you reflexively recoil from?

Heh...yeah. (longer answer deleted)

there are always going to be people who rub you the wrong way, he said gingerly.

what the travertine is going on in here?

there are several who REALLY make me want to start an @ILXTXT twitter account.

if you think it would be better and more accurate than 'solitary posts that etc etc', then you should totally go for it

clue: it wouldn't be

bit defensive there lol m9

ilm is prob the worst i can ever remember it. i know i'm not alone in thinking this. but i'm equally sure some people are enjoying it.

Chief Keef killed ILM

is it any worse than it was in 2010. i cant tell the difference

i don't even care anymore about content. its a straight up ocd thing for me now. clickclickclickclick...

i don't know about the quality of ilx, but complaints about quality def seem more pathetic with each year.

^ meta

i find myself more and more out of step w/ broader ilm music taste (i didn't like the vast majority of tracks that placed this year) but there are enough posters talking about music i love on various rolling threads and stuff that i can't complain at all.

cool post.

yes.

sorry but it's like complaining that a bar you haunt isn't as cool as it used to be, except it's byob so you can't even blame alcoholism for your continued patronage

why is it worse?

afaict we just have more rolling thread so it's become on a whole more balkanized, but like breakout artists within each 'genre' still seem to get their own threads

pavement thread bumps are at an all time low

we still have jokey radiohead polls

service guarantees citizenship

would you like to know more?

if you feel like ilx isn't having enough interesting conversations about 80s music the problem might be that you like boring music

sorry but it's like complaining that a bar you haunt isn't as cool as it used to be, except it's byob so you can't even blame alcoholism for your continued patronage

yes, everyone who has any prob with ilx should leave immediately.

ILM is having quite enough convos about shit 80s music kthx

complaining about ilm is like dancing about the architecture of a squalid outhouse

yes.

whats the difference... mate

yeah i'm kind of curious how it's failing you

not gonna start a big flamewar about it, really. it just feels like a smaller number of people policing a smaller number of threads.

I think that just reflects ILX's aging demographic in general - we're no longer attracting college kids (calls iatee over)

we all shrink as we age.

I dunno, I'm just bopping along.

Just eyeballing it, there were like 60 or 70 threads updated on ILM yesterday (not including the ones that have been revived today). I didn't post in all of them, but I know I read a lot more than I post in general. ILM's been my #1 source for music information for the last 5 years. It's a cornucopia!

tbh i'm comfy with not having a new "OHMYGOD I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PEOPLE LISTEN TO (C)RAP MUSIC HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD OF THE ARCADE FIRE???" kid every month

think we're already at quota

And here I was thinking we were reviving the thread to talk about how this is a GOLDEN ERA for ILM post-tracks poll results thread.

people who are unhappy w/ ilm - i wonder what kind of genres/music you feel aren't being covered adequately?

indie rock

there's a lovely rolling indie rock thread that i personally never open but i'm sure is just wonderful

where are these people, i never see them.

lazy victimless zings man

i don't really have beef with ILM, there's been some good discussion on classical and non-Western musics of late and the rolling threads keep stuff i'm interested in a convenient drawer and some of you kids shd probly ease off the polling but the FP button still works and ILM's still a good bet if you fancy a really bitter, personal clusterfuck to go off so hey
