rolling enlightening music discussion thread

that guy

shoulda called hisself ilmor really

He used to troll the comments boxes on Stylus, if our stalky research is correct he's also a member of the Young Republicans, or whatever the right's youth wing is called over there.

?? I'm pretty sure he's not, he lives in Austin and I think when I met him he was wearing an Obama shirt iirc

I'm kinda :/ that dude gets so much neg attn around here honestly just cause IRL he's a nice unassuming dude (based on our minimal interactions before and after an ambient music show) but whaddya gonna do

you've met "ilxor"??

ilx, not the place for nice unassuming dudes

weird thing to name oneself

and like, not be a sock

big deal

you've met "ilxor"??

yah he and me and oilyrags are the only austin ilxors i know of

That is a pretty great album cover.

Agree that it's a great cover. I guess some people may be disappointed by the music though. I don't think U2 are ready to make anymore "artistic" and experimental albums by now. That was the 90s and that phase is left behind.

yeah i think there is at least one marked difference between those two and abbott and costello fwiw

geir and snrub arent dead........ yet.

based on our minimal interactions before and after an ambient music show

^^ techno joke set-up?

yeah i was kinda hoping someone would run with that tbh

Of the 190 albums that got at least one vote, 79 of them got only one vote. 38 more got only 2 votes, and 20 more got only 3.

15 of the 30 voters filled up all 25 slots, 15 didn't. There were 8 voters who didn't have anything for which they were the only voter. 6 more voters had only 1 album nobody else voted for, and 8 more had only 2. At the other extreme, one voter (i.e. Xhuxk) had 15 of 25 albums that nobody else mentioned, and another voter had 13.

so i really dug their demo CD in 2006 and kind of skipped their album in 2008 due to hype backlash i guess... then after hearing everyone say their performance on SNL was subpar i had to go download the episode myself and see.

turns out it kind of blew me away and i am now digging their LP/EP. i'm liking it even more than the demo and really getting a Morricone vibe on a lot of songs. sticking it on my 'pod next time i do a stagecoach holdup.

Here are the top 5 most similar other voters for each voter. The decimal number is a rough measurement of similarity: 1.000 would mean the two people's ballots exactly matched. This takes into account album popularity, so the fewer people voted for an album, the more similar two voters are for sharing it. The second number is the raw number of albums in common.

every glenn mcdonald post should be followed up with the question, "so how does the music sound?"

what are you supposed to do with this information??

ur mind is supposed to chew on it like day-old beef jerky
