Weak!

nabisco will be all over this

x-files are great.

X-Files story arc episodes sucks in later seasons

yeah they do. they should have ended around season 5 or so

worst last episode ever. worse than seinfeld.

my favorite zinging of gygax (RIP) was posting that img after he corrected someone on minor Boredoms trivia

where's that LJ post where he narrates "The Rainbow" by Talk Talk? It was v. cringeworthy.

that sounds like something i'd want to read.

rather than sending it, i shall describe it for you.

A single horn (trumpet?) sounds.

Flourish of violins and other assorted strings. A low sound, much like a tuba, is also detectable.

The horn sounds again, a few semitones lower. It begins to play a slow tune.

Enter piano and some rain effects. The low tuba thing goes on.

Ethereal moans and wail permeate the song.

Suddenly, an oscillating, windy pumping noise fills the speakers, dying away as soon as it arrives. As it returns for the second time, however, a bluesy guitar riff bursts in unexpectedly.

Along with a distorted harmonica.

Some muted percussion is also audible.

Hollis begins to sing: "Oh yeah, the world's turned upside down..."

Shall I continue?

much like a tuba

vintage zing from MJ

LJ = Marcello in the making. not that that's a bad thing. but mark my words.

"...Jimmy Finn is out..."

It was v. cringeworthy.

Well, how can that be fair at all?

LJ = Marcello in the making. not that that's a bad thing

Lenient.

yay attention whore LJ is back.

Shall I continue?

HAHAHAHAH!

God, reading that made me never want to listen to a note of TT :/

if by 'making a joke' one attention-seeks, then i think we're all frequently guilty, grady.

Nobody's innocent, some are more guilty than others, etc etc

oh well this thread just turned out hilarious.

it may seem silly to ask about something this mundane but i always wanna know. There's this certain "glass" sound that can be heard in many Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis productions ... How was it created?
-- startrekman, Wednesday, 4 May 2005 04:15 (2 years ago) Link

i know that song inside and out and i don't know which keyb line you are talking about. the long high line or one of the more staccato runs?
-- g e o f f (gcannon), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 04:21 (2 years ago) Link

no not a keyboard sound but a drum machine sound, theres this certain "glass sound" that comes from a drum machine of some sort.
-- startrekman, Wednesday, 4 May 2005 04:23 (2 years ago) Link

as in the whole drum pallette sounds "glassy" or there is one particular sound that sounds like glass (breaking?)? you're pretty inarticulate for a formalist.
-- g e o f f (gcannon), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 04:31 (2 years ago) Link

there is one sound from a drum machine that sounds like glass Mr Geoff.

No, it's not made with blood diamonds, that's one thing he insisted on and made sure were sourced appropriately. I don't know the guy enough to call wanker on him, but I know he's done some nice things for other friends which alleviate the potential for wankery which is so obviously there.

Ran into one of my artworld stately homo friends last night, who said he'd boycotted the opening and now heard that there had been these really OTT goodie bags handed out to the celebrity art tourists who did go. Despite these being rammed full of luxury goods he did not regret his decision in the least because the work and whole phenomenon of Damien bling was large steaming pile of wank.

Oh God shut up shut up shut up!

Does she do it on purpose?

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41X6CQVD28L._SS500_.jpg

it would be more in character if she mentioned someone's daddy

I implied nothing of the sort. I simply popped in for lunch with Andreas and ran into the Chapman boys. Do behave!

she's actually a 45 year old dude in cleveland right?

someone really needs to make a suzy compilation thread, she manages to namedrop in almost every post she's made but no one calls her out on it

step up and be a hero dude.

yeah i mean the gay dude didnt want the swag yeeeeaaaah riiiiiiight whaeva

someone really needs to make a suzy compilation thread, she manages to namedrop in almost every post she's made but no one calls her out on it

i just did call her out on the hirst thread! i don't think she (or tracer hand) gets it

If you think no one calls her out, you havn't been paying attention for long enough -- there's a history of sparring over this exact topic, but you know, for everything there is a season...maybe the time is ripe to revisit all possible permutations of this stage play. Program, please!

I actually met Drew once at Reading festival; Eric from Hole was her b/ f at time but I just remember being very drunk etc. and introduced to this girl and sort of said hi. Weeks later my friend said that girl was Drew. Hmmm.

LATEPASS.

i haven't noticed the history of sparring. i remember someone making a "i think you dropped something joke" or whatever. anyway:

Sex is the most perfect thing our bodies can do peroid.

Suzy's argument = "I know several 8th rate celebs" + "I still have hi skoolesque social issues" = "Gwinif is a BITCH!!!!"

GOOD GOD YOU PEOPLE ARE SMART AND WELL LISTENED AND WELL READ AND WELL CULTURED Y DU U KARE?!?!?!?

PS I am still partially intoxicated so this affects my intonation tho not my intent + Anniversary Party was mostly a good flik partly kausa Gwinif tho mostly kausa ALAN CUMMING etc.

i forgot how funny anthony's posts are

jess once did a pitch perfect imitation of her on some thread lost to the ages

You beat me to it

I mean, people were telling me that Intolerance was a good film on this very message board just a month ago.

Morbs, you're in a better place

is this about Star Wars?

left is a great poster overall and i fully support their occasional trolls because honestly folks the sniffy armchair critic circlejerk here gets a little old imo

and yeah the auteur theory is kinda antihuman bs if you have a heart and any inkling of what creativity can be outside of the culture industry

Never said they aren't and I appreciate'em. To me, if I post you in this thread you've made it.

But I disagree lol with your conclusion. This place may have many things but it doesn't have armchair critic circle jerks. Look at the Glass Onion thread for proof.

Contemporary criticism as journalism doesn't even pay for armchairs. All it does is teach us how to post Bette Davis gifs.

map, I like you a lot but you're wrong for this

Ah tho, for the golden age of armchair criticism

Haha I didn’t even read the thread or post in question but I’d rather read Left than a good portion of ilx, who do nothing but bump threads to complain about annoying phrases young people use or spam YouTube links. At least Left is interesting.

yes and it is very much in character for you to come and post on the very much in character thread and speak your mind about how most of us are mediocrities. What do you want on a decades old message board, doctoral dissertations in the chatbox?

Oh, I don’t know. People making posts?

who do nothing but bump threads to complain about annoying phrases

That'd be me, I believe...and she really loves me on baseball.

Nope, it’s not you, and I do love you on baseball! Unironically!

Mea culpa--thanks.

its time we started celebrating annoying phrases young people use

young people can use any phrase they feel like I am almost 34 and I no longer use phrases

🫡

its time we started celebrating annoying phrases young people use

― lag∞n,

Start the thread! I don't use phrases at all.

This thread brings out the worst in everyone here, which means it also lives up to its title

you are permitted to use the stupid annoying phrases young people use if you are young at heart, but if they aren't any good then you can all fuck off!

I like the idea of an armchair criticism forum.

The entire drama now focuses on Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who must vote entirely for Kevin McCarthy. A present vote or not voting at all would leave McCarthy short of the majority and force another round of voting.

oops!

very much in character, too, this week. i hang my head in shame and i am sorry

posts on fleek

Stevenson, as usual, is knowledgeable, brisk, cool in his assessments of Western military and intelligence. A great LRB asset.

He doesn't mention the oddest thing about "Five Eyes", that most people (not all) have two eyes and thus, for a better image, five subjects with eyes should really add up to "Ten Eyes".

what ILX thread makes me angrier than all the others combined

Not controversial here. For example, Christina Rossetti's poem In the Bleak Midwinter is set near the winter solstice. By the same token, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream takes place on the night of summer solstice. Thus we are reminded that for most of the past centuries, summertime ended on the autumnal equinox at September 21st, which was also when winter began.

― more difficult than I look (Aimless),

fwiw the system used to allow you to vote as many times you wanted as long as your votes were paced a certain interval (one week? two weeks?) apart. but at least one poster abused the system by voting 10+ times in polls with distant closing dates, so the mods may have tightened up the polling regulations since I regularly pulled that shit

I heard that on the news this morning and my initial cheery response was: you lads ever considered dying.

Al Jazeera is mostly staffed by ex-BBC broadcasters and journalists including my old friend Imran Khan, who is currently reporting from Ramallah. I’m terrified for him but if you’re on Insta he’s @imranism and worth a follow.
