8 Mistakes That Make Good Employees Leave:

1. Lack of Total Toilet Protection in the workplace.

Duckstretch is still rendering btw, bear with

^ see this is perfectly comprehensible if you just follow along

I fell I'm an extreme example of that mindset, I lack any critical skills not just for music but for anything else really, and rarely have anything more interesting to say than "I like/don't like this".

― chihuahuau

honestly in some ways i genuinely regret developing a critical vocabulary. i grew up with the typical rockist antipathy for critical discourse (listened to a lot of frank zappa, which didn't help). but i wound up here anyway because to hell with the devil, the critics are the ones who really have all the best tunes. and after years of this now i can write about music like a second-rate hack. it wasn't a skill i was trying to develop.

but in other ways i don't regret it, because when i look at the future and what it holds it increasingly seems like it's either genocide or creative work. i hope to god people can be convinced the latter is a better alternative. it's a hard sell.

wasn't sure about that at first but holy shit at 24 minutes in

looks like I will vote in the 2017 traxpoll

more yessing out in years previous to balance out uptight critics might have helped but alas that ship sailed long ago

one of my first memories of ilxor lingo was the term fap, meaning fancy a pint

OH MY GOD I'd been wondering about this forever, I never asked though because I knew you fuckers wouldn't give me a sensible answer

And now the scales drop from your eyes.

Me too.

When people are talking about the regular in depth critical analysis of this board it doesn't really sound like the ILX I know but I don't really go on the Rolling music threads. I think those posters are in the minority and that's fine. I know I can't go as far as them.

15 minutes in -- totally chill, really emphasizing the "bye worries" theme

I recant. What I meant was: I haven't spent two decades filtering my own critical vocabulary through a warren of obscurant friends. There seems to actually be really simple steps for inclusion here: loudly, ignorantly proclaim your presence; mocked; try again; mocked; injoke +/- vocabulary subsumption.

It's pretty OK as a hazing process, but I feel like the subtext is really giving a fuck about Jute Gyte.

I think the subtext could stand to give more of one tbf

mockery can be quite character-forming, especially for bullish prigs, I would recommend it in doses varying by levels of childhood privilege

when I joined ilx the regulars stole my clothes and dumped me in the part of town where they listen to Big & Rich

I'm sure some of you nerds on here can knock this one out of the park:

I got a 242, helped by some lucky guessing.

248. When stuck, picking the group you've heard of usually seems to work.

249. Yeah, quite a lot of these were three records I didn't know + Blondie.

237

no bennies

230. A lot of this stuff is not remotely what I care about.

235--numerous, numerous guesses. As tribute to one of my new favourite movies, I made sure to get "Heroes" wrong.

239

247 with a LOT of guessing, helped by things like "There's rapping and the only rap group there is The Roots, so..."

I went through three guesses before picking Arcade Fire on one question. Apparently what I've heard by them didn't make an impression beyond inspiring me to not listen to any more.

240
sigh can't believe i whiffed on lol vampire weekend
would have been a way better quiz if they removed the artist names from the covers
also if they didn't use ugly greatest hits art
also if they had a time bonus
There was a fair amount of stuff that I had never heard but I could guess based on the cover / offhanded remarks on ILM. like level 10 was just WGW punchlines

putting a jack white solo album in a list of 50 songs you expect me to recognize makes me IA

The scoring on this is weird.

I got 246, mainly missing on the rap questions.

247

245, but one mistake was an accidental click.

244.. i don't know much about indie rock rn

249

247.

of all the indie stuff from the past 20 years, I had an amazing success rate guessing based on the aesthetics of the album cover.

247--could've been better but it took me 4 tries for a couple

sarahell otm

236, was doing well until the last round, no idea what 90% of that stuff was.

Front 242

250, only mistake was an impulse decision that Fela Kuti was the Fugees.

249. There were a few lucky guesses in there for sure.

248, struggled with some of the indie shit

234, struggled with most of the rap shit
