Ask Raccoon Tanuki

A devote pitchfork following in ILM? This is very unlikely.

I think RT means ilx depends on p4k for the opposite opinion.

david attenborough voice the accuracy of the statement made by chris ott or whatever bored dormant ILXor or lurker you are the tanukius socktrollus is never important, the angry reaction of others is the desired result.

no, i think RT means that pitchfork is like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite to ILX

Dead?

is being a shit troll causing ppl to complain that yr a shit troll the next level of trolling i mean think abt it

XP if by "dead" you mean "no longer the be-all, end-all of music criticism, if it ever was, which is itself an extremely dubious fucking proposition," then yes. its just an online music mag. nothing more. few pieces of good writing on it here and there. fair amount of shit writing there as well.

the only people who were stupid and naive enough to think it or any other music review website/blog/etc. would or could remain pure and unadulterated by some sort of compromise or advertising are, well, chris ott, along w/ the anthony fantanos & byron crawfords of the world. which is why they're on these moronic "ethics in music journalism" crusades in various forms. nuki fits right in.

clouds: yeah, pretty much. so joke's on us. you win ott/lurker/etc. i mean, RT

anthony fantanos is funny because I met lots of people from his area in CT that had the same skewed music-didn't-exist-prior-to-early-00s-emo/post rock perspective of music. Not that that has anything to do with what we're talking about. Just more thread derailing.

he's funny bc he thinks he is extremely important, less funny because (certain) people. actually. watch. his. atrocious. fucking. videos. in. reasonable. numbers. :/

Those numbers are saying something about his influence and his viewers opinions, unfortunately.

its p terrible

Lol its a good thing we can have a sense of proportion about how the ongoing Inter net/music discourse fits into the scheme of things

Also:

If we came over for dinner, what would you make?

Are you infering that Nardwuar is a more accurate depiction of your average ilxor and you're Lydia?

Raccoon Tanuki, what is your opinion on the former ILX poster luriqua?

that it's full of wanky, self important humerlous posts like this. That it thought it was important. That it took itself seriously. That it was full of people who depended on pitchfork for their opinion.

these recurring "that"s are the grotty knoll of one or the major tanuki ID theories

It's like that, y'all. It's like that, y'all. It's like that-a tha-that. It's like that y'all.

More like "spittoon bukkake" amirite?

trust that 'vic perry' will be rusticated in half the time it took for ilx to see off rt

lydia lunch is awesome; too many ilxors do not appreciate her

Vic's been around off and on for years iirc?

ILX is so mysterious. What is "rusticated"? What is "see off rt"? How do people understand what phrases like this mean in a way that they respond as if someone were talking normally?

Just by posting here, I always end up as a minor character in these "If Borges wrote melodrama" or "If Philip K. Dick ran credit checks" exchanges. Which used to bug me but now it's just funny.

Bitch get me a lemonade

How rude

i thought vic was a longtime poster for some reason

moi aussi

All this insider lingo like "rt"

RT out!

rt is retweet elsewhere so, was confused (not everyone builds their life around deciphering acronyms of lazy Typing Words So Hard people)

I read some of the thread and Oh I Get It Now, it's initials. OHHHH. Okay. One of those worker bees-driving-the-intruder-off-dramas that are so essential to maintain the fragile cool & Safe Space (TM).

lmao congrats on cracking the code vp (that stands for vice-president elsewhere but I'm confident that you'll be able to use context to decipher the meaning, given 5 hours or so to mull it over)

promising

well I see the ilx bullying squad drove another perfectly fine poster away

peace out gonna go eat some garbage

I have this bad habit of thinking people are more interesting than they actually are.

it's not always so hard to figure out

True. The big mystery for me was why I would find myself being discussed on a thread I've never posted to.

the "why can't you people type full words??" criticism is silly, has no place in same space as the "why do you people feel the need to drive off certain posters?" criticism, which is vastly more interesting.

idk if anybody is trying to drive off joe biden so much as not getting a lot of value out of his (not everyone builds their life around deciphering acronyms of lazy Typing Words So Hard people) schtick and other fumbling approximations at understanding or expressing simple things

wasn't talking about him
