why dont black people really like any music other than black music?

pionefox, who knows how i will evolve. i'm looking fwd to it though!

lex it seems as if you like fewer genres of music now than you did in the past. is there some sort of assurance you can give to your legion of fans out there that this is not the case?

This argument is fucking stupid because if there was one defining argument to early 00s ILM (and that's very debatable) it was "it's okay to be a dilettante".

It's a bit like when commentators on the left and right respectively describe Gordon Brown as a free-market loon and a quasi-Soviet control freak.

The Rapture album that was straight-up NYC indie kid bait with no real sense of joy or ugliness to it wasn't all that great (ie the one with the pink cover); I liked it at first but got very tired of it very quickly.

OTM, lock thread.

also the narcissism of balancing the scales vs tipping them the other way (xposts)

oh i know it's just that what most people meant by dilettante is "pay attention to all pfork-approved big indie releases, maybe notice r&b singles if they're inescapable"

But, then, paying attention to the big indie releases back then was mostly about being against them. Plus indie was probably less popular in the late 90s/early 00s than it has been ever before (after the term occured in the mid 80s at least) or since. So what was the point, really?

1992

Why am I even bothering?

Matt DC - Geir cannot and will not comment on his personal life anymore than he can use your name.

or ask the opinion of someone else

or convince them that he is right

etc.

Is it a language barrier thing? Cos English is his second language, right? Cos his English doesn't seem at all bad or poor or weak. So is it just a mental deficiency? Really pronounced autism or something? Inability to accept objects outside of clearly delineated favourite objects, and inability to address, or even seemingly understand, other people as individuals / human beings.

wait, who are we talking about now?

Gordon Brown?

Really pronounced autism or something?
Geez, I had never thought of that, but it makes sense. I think you may be on to something.

stay classy, ilx

You had honestly never thought of that?

i have honestly never attempted to conduct a completely unfounded, uninformed medical diagnosis of someone over the internet and then post that diagnosis to a public forum, no

unless calling someone a douche counts

n/a has prostatitis

This thread started low and is going downhill...

The entire ILM was started as a "LOL, people who listen to white music are stupid and they should listen to black music (and manufactured white kidpop) instead".

It's true, all those alt.music.alternative posts were just cross posts from alt.music.blackpplmusic.

You're telling me that you'd never even considered Geir's deportment on here as abnormal?

C'mon, he's some kid of 49 who never goes anywhere, and listens to music all the time in his room. Sometimes he's not on ILM.

probably ILM's biggest ever loony, and that's saying something

OK, that's enough now

Geir's never disrupted a funeral or tried to con the families of 9/11 survivors out of money, so he's not the "biggest" loony.

dom do you think geir is more or less crazy than your average girlfriend

Less, obviously.

Also I'm pretty sure Geir exists and his pics are real.

never disrupted a funeral or tried to con the families of 9/11 survivors out of mone

at least these things only happened one time, not every day for years and years

Who disrupted a funeral / tried to con the families of 9/11 survivors out of money?

Oh, absolutely. But I always attributed it to a combination of a language barrier and rabid solipsism.

Let's not.

Seriously, let's not.

Ah, history.... (xpost yeah, let's not)

i'm amazed these subjects weren't discussed at length at the rocktimists/lbzc summit

Also he isn't a Bill Deedes impersonator.

I've never heard of those subjects before.

I'm all at sea

We mainly talk about the 90s when we meet up, else Enrique gets a little agitated.

"What's 9/11?" being his main point re; current affairs. He can remember the death of Diana, though.

Are we done here?

Think we were done here round about post 5?
