posts very much in character

i pretty much assume anyone posting in "introduce yourselves!" is someone trying to establish their sock

"let's see, i'm putting myself in the mindset of a new poster here ... where would a new poster start?"

I start my socks in the wdyll thread

I start my socks in hot water and then rinse them in cold

i spent a week as sock manager in a clothes importer once fwiw

maybe this thread could go into a 100 post derail about laundry and then gr8080 will show up with a post very much in character

hi, music obsessive just like the rest of you, 19, going into second year of university studying English Lit, love cricket, footie (soccer), reading music reviews, writing poetry, being darkly amusing, the completed works of legendary satirist Chris Morris, favourite music includes both Blur AND Mogwai, neither of whom are shite, Mansun, The The, The Beta Band, Yes, early Rev, late Talk Talk, The Electric Soft Parade (all-too easily dismissed, actually. I have more to say about them at some point), The Secret Machines, Ride, Spiritualized, XTC, early Roxy, late Pulp...etc etc etc...

above all, however, i'm one crazy customer :D :D :D :D so get ready for some madnessssss!!!!! ;-)

(that last sentence was parody)

early Rev was pretty good

it is almost the 6th anniversary of that post!

kind of bums me out when i think of what little i've done/ how little i've changed in those same 6 years

Only thing I hate is when I start reading a new thread, go ooh I know just what to say here, and then discover that I already said it in 2005.

It's like, have I not thought of anything new in 8 years?

lol when youre scrolling down and you think 'otm' before you realize youre reading your own post

"Now this guy gets it!"

quality poster thumbs up

people should otm themselves more

, being darkly amusing,

best part of the post imo

a j@gger darkly

getting ready for another ilx .... i think

now what do you call it? vacation? fast? cleanse?

fast n sluice dood

coffee enema?

getting ready for another ilx .... i think

i just spent two hours reading gene wolfe that i couldve spent watching sweet action-filled tv episodes so i sure hope not

no no, not a coffee enema, i mean when you stop using something, not when you stick it up your ass

can you imagine an ilx enema?

you could call it a sabbatical but they imply both an intent to return a kind of seriousness that are lacking

or may be lacking i guess

oh man lamp i was starting to feel stupid like people were bummed on trying gene wolfe out and annoyed at me for telling them it's good

afterwards tho it all flushes out

that would be like a reverse kill fille where you with only *the wrong kind of poster* on it

then afterward you wouldn't even see their posts, like habituation to the noise of the freeway

*where you see threads with only

coffee enema reminds me of a joke whose punchline is "Is it too hot?" / "No, it's too sweeeeeeeeet!"

i don't know that joke

i think i want to know that joke though, tell it

lol when youre scrolling down and you think 'otm' before you realize youre reading your own post

love this, it's an affirmation from your past self that you're right on track

I think horseshoe that you shd killfile frogbs for a while, just give yrself a break <3

late great, do not feel bad about ppl reading gene wolfe. i do enjoy the book but i think i feel frustated that i might not be 'getting it' all the time.

both are terrible, and my idea of hell is being trapped in a room where the DJ is playing only sade and steely dan.

"non-hegemonic" probably should have been "anti-hegemonic"...

probably...

i equivocate?

an obvious bid, but still:

I want everything I own to fold into something smaller

(am trying not to bristle that Aphex Twin has clearly been called English.)

Ha hah ahhahahahahhha

Well he isn't! In what universe is a bloke born in Ireland, to Welsh parents, who grew up in Cornwall and now lives in Scotland, apparently "English"? He doesn't even call himself English! Tis nonsense!

well what would you call him then? A wandering Celt?

British (mostly)

It's not about what I call him, anyway, it's about what he calls himself. (Cornish, usually.)

ah but you can't really expect Pitchfork to pick up on that. I'm sure he has an English passport
