This is starting to feel like some sort of Left Behind-style event with all the good threads being raptured.

andrew m., Thursday, 6 June 2019 15:41 (seven years ago)

reminds me too of an (elderly) small-town mayor i interviewed a few years back. was in a group they proudly called R.O.M.E.O.s that met up once a month or so. Retired Old Men Eating Out. lol for several reasons there obvious to us younger folk.

If you're going to use VAR and have more penalty retakes etc - and more penalties in general - then you have to be prepared to allow matches to last 100 minutes, unlike the officials last night.

Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Thursday, 20 June 2019 08:33 (six years ago)

OTM

Captain ACAB (Neil S), Thursday, 20 June 2019 08:35 (six years ago)

Hoping that's one of Liam's song titles.

further evidence that this thread is becoming the ILX singularity

just occurred to me that this is totally one of these album titles if it were paired with less serious album art (or less self serious band)

This ‘90s title is a very pure example of the thread premise:

LOL @ cranberries, perfect example. Feel like the 90s were kind of a soft renaissance for this thing

“Hakuna Matata,” a nihilist philosophy (One Eye Open), Monday, 22 July 2019 14:27 (six years ago)

what's interesting is how the same types of titles conveyed a subtly different message in the age of irony, ennui goth teens, and 2-3 years between albums-as-calling-cards, versus just cranking out another couple sides of blues rock whatever to sell on the tour.

Good morning, how are you, I'm (Doctor Casino), Monday, 22 July 2019 14:51 (six years ago)

Yeah its funny to compare the way the they read btw the two eras. In the 90s it was meant to convey this knowing wink at consumerism & let you know that they saw through the whole showbiz game & were savvy postmodernists. Whereas the aw-shucks 70s titles had this endearing humility thing like "Yeah I'm dumb & this album kind of sucks, what do you want from me, take it or leave it"

“Hakuna Matata,” a nihilist philosophy (One Eye Open), Monday, 22 July 2019 15:30 (six years ago)

the aw shucks album title kinda lived on in the 90s with third wave ska, complete with the albums kinda sucking

"don't blame me," with the cover, is easily top 50 for the thread. joe walsh couldn't have done it better.
