I really do stand by my theory that electronic music threads consistently have the worst titles on ILX. On Site New Answers right now:
Todd Terje: "Snooze 4 Love" (masterpiece alert)
It's a cruel cruel summer: the sounds of deep tech / shuffle / cuttin shapes / upgrunt house / etc. etc. in 2014
favorite mixes of 2014, shiiiiit

do you know anything about sewing?
― ^ enlightening post (sarahell), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:53 (twelve years ago)
no
― just (Matt P), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:54 (twelve years ago)
at least not enough to know what it has to do with electronic music
on a sewing machine, the thread is wound around an object called a bobbin
― ^ enlightening post (sarahell), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:55 (twelve years ago)
well that explains what it has to do with electronic music then

bobbins also means rubbish. I always figured it was a sort of playful reference to the catchall nature of those dance threads
