least favorite thread titles

In the past 15 years, who has released a better pair of consecutive, full-length studio albums than Modest Mouse's The Lonesome Crowded West -> The Moon & Antarctica?

you don't understand, Modest Mouse's The Lonesome Crowded West -> The Moon & Antarctica is the name of my dog

Girl, you must be a teaspoonful because you are the amount that a teaspoon can hold.

treeship will be along soon to explain it all.

THAT'S RIGHT, I DID THE IGGY: The Simpsons Season 4 Poll

North Korea: still hilarious

Nelson Mandela may be dying (I already hate this thread)

Counting down to something probably just as bad if not worse taking its place.

I Have A Question, it's A Body

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

that Bananarama song is gonna be stuck in my head all day

what is the deal with "bobbins"

do you know anything about sewing?

no

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

well that explains what it has to do with electronic music then

i think it's just cleverness, like "detrius"

well i think it's least-favoritness myself

lol

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

big bottom bobbins

rmde'd at "upgrunt house" this morning

"bobbins" makes me never want to click on a techno thread so, good work, whoever

good work indeed

thank the city of manchester

bobbins
Rubbish.

Widely used in the Manchester (England) area.

Rhyming slang, "bobbins of cotton" = rotten
Manchester United are bobbins.

shd be boffins

rolling poppins toppins bangers 2014

"techno/house" is the bit that refers to electronic music, "bobbins" is just a punny way to say "rolling thread"

*mind blown* intriguing but "bobbins" ended up standing in for the music discussed after a few years of timedrift and overuse and thanks to this now all we have in those threads anymore are disparate randos who talk past each other in between weeks of pregnant silence.

and all because they called it bobbins

xp - was it newsie-wewsies to you, Matt?

Xp Yeah as sarahell said it's like "detrius", the name stuck & now it gets used as shorthand. It's unfortunate.

can't believe we've lost Whiney's contributions to the House threads

shiiiiit

if this policy gets out posters might start attaching the bobbins amulet to all their thread titles.

the finest of display names bobbins

^reminds me I used "tesco & horse dobbins 2013" for a while, which would have been quite witty if I hadn't come up with it several months after the Tesco horsemeat scandal was in the news

and all because they called it bobbins
