In Honor Of ILX Being Ten, How About Some Quotable Posts Of Yore.

Ha, I remember those blount pwnt cman threads while they were happening, it was a blast to read them.

well, i suppose there's 3 stages to u2 isn't there?
the earnest stage, in, like the 80s, when they really meant it, and they rocked and all that stuff, and i don't even remember, just some ugly people on the tv. turn that over. boring. dud, of course they were dud. the 80s were grey and horrible, and they were grey and horrible for the simple reason that u2 were in them, dud dud dud.

the irony/postmodern thingy in the 90s, they didn't mean it anymore, they're only playing! "oh, we were pompous in the 80s, how silly we were' lets be as over the top as poss and subvert. irony, yeah!! no no no, dud again. is this phase more or less dud than the initial phase? can't decide.

now. they really mean it again. they're going to change the world with their big tuneful rock thats a bit pop too. and the pope likes them. and noel g too! dud, but not as dud as the other 2 phases. no wait, more dud.

aaargh, u2! the biggest dud of them all. but funny i guess.

so, dud then

link to thread pls! the blountvscman one!

there were quite a few of them, as I remember. blount really got under cman's skin. I'll have a look.

um, i can find that one, hold on.

a G works with me and he sonned the hell out of me from 7:30 in the morning to 2:00 this afternoon, culminating at around 10:20. saw straight through me, deep through the bullshit. we were getting high and i started acting super-gay-crazy bitch-made devil-racist beast-mode and i accidentally painted an upside-down 7 on the wall and a cross then erased it!!!! WTF. all sorts of mystical negro type shit occurred that's too trippy to describe, and he told me my old girl realized i was crazy too and that's why we might never get along, and made me realize i never really got real situation or the finality of life never having brushed with death, like he was fucking the world and i was getting fucked, so he must experience it like the antithesis of tripping, and told me i'm an emo fucktard for not shaping up and getting pussy, and that it would be excusable if i were a real nerd. my fucking pot-hexed lack of memory is lapsing on 100 tons of hardrofl beyond zings. he also told me my age and height and birthday when i met him *:?

✧✧✧@K✧✧.E✧✧ wrote this on thread ENGLANDE on board I Love Everything on Apr 6, 2007

ENGLANDE WAS A MEDEVING PLACE THAT ROBIN HOOD AND FRYERE TUCK WERE BORN TO. IN ENGLANDE MEN AND BOYS WEARED TUNICS. TUNICS IS A EXTRA LARGE TSHIRT AND COVERS THERES PENISE BECOS THEY DIDNT INVENT UNDERPANTS YET IN ENGLANDE.

THEY INVETED OTHER THINGS THOUGH. THEY MADE THOSED TALL ROCKS ALL GO IN A CIRCLE. AND WHEN THEY HAVED TO GO THE BATHROOM. THEY LIFT UPPED THERE TUNICS AND GOTO THE BATHROOM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CIRCLE OF TALL ROCKS.
IT SMELLED BAD THERRE. BUT IT MADE ALOT OF SENSE. BECOS THEY DIDNT INVENT ANY TOILETS YET TOO. AND IF YOU CANT GOTO THE TOILET AND FLUSH. THEN ITS BETTER TO GOTO ONE SAME PLACE FOR THE BATHROOM INSTEAD OF ALOT OF DIFFERENT PLACE. FAR AWAY PEOPLE COULD SEE THOSED TALL ROCKS. AND THEY JUST KNOWED RIGHT OFF THE BATS THATS WHERE EVERYBODY WENT THE BATHROOM. JUST LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE SEE A RESTROOM SIGN AND KNOW RIGHT OFF THE BAT THATS WHERE THEY DO THERRE DUTY.

IN MEDEVING ENGLAND. EVERYBODY WORE WOODEN SHOES THAT LOOKED LIKE BOATS.
THEY WERE MADE OF WOOD. WHENEVER THEY WENT TO THE TALL ROCKS. THEYD STEP
OVER ALL THE BATHROOM WASTES WEARING THERE BOATLIKE SHOES OF WOODE. MAYBE EVEN FRYERE TUCK AND ROBIN HOOD GOTO THE BATHROOM THERE WEARING
THERE WOODBOAT SHOES AND OLD BATHROOM TUNICS RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THAT TALL ROCKS IN THERE SPECIAL SPOTS.

SOMETIMES. WHEN IM GOTO THE BATHROOM WITH CONSTOPATION IN ME. I CLOSE MY EYES AND THINKE ME IM ROBIN HOOD OR FRYERE TUCK BACK THERE IN OLD TIME ENGLANDE. IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THAT TALL ROCKS. WITH MY WOODEN BOAT SHOES AND BATHROOM TUNIC ON. AND SOMEONES BLOWING A MEDEVING FLUTE SOMEWHERE AND WAITING THERE TURN GOTO THE BATHROOM. BUT THEN I REMEMBNER ITS JUST FRED AND HIS KAZOO.

I love how the photo is EVERYTHING bad about America all in one place: icky summer clothes, fat ankles, mirrored pseudo-Vuarnet shades, people wearing flag shit, spelling errors and misplaced patriotism. All worn by what appears to be an off-duty Embers management trainee.

Dreadful garbage. I assume Pavement is one of those bands that "sounds better on vinyl." because on CD its just all flat murk with no texture. A crummy band trying...and failing...at imitating the VU. They don't imitate Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub or Slint any better. Every time I see a review where some self-satisfied critic gives "Slanted and Enchanted" a five-star review, I get angry. What a waste of perfectly good resources. Hell, at least Guided by Voices are incompetent enough to be funny. Pavement is just dull...dull...dullllll......

thread needs Garu G imo

Another bogus TS in that I consider persons referred to in question as similar in context of said question! Big fork in road for aspiring musos - does one go for 'fluency' (learning every possible combination of notes and techniques for instant mastery of regurgitation) or 'rigourousness'(everything having its place in a grand design with thematic coherence while working to expand the concept of 'thematic coherence' itself)? 'Fluency' will immediately get the other musos on your side to the exclusion of everything else while 'rigouressness' paradoxically assures one a place in the technical canon (AND sometimes great fame and wealth and stadium-rock glory) while earning the undying enmity of music types who have their charlatan-bullshit-detector set so high that it buzzes whenever anything outside the standard syllabi occurs. E.G. guitarists - "How can you listen to Rush when Pat Travers and Frank Marino are faster and play more 'evenly'", jazzbos - "Monk is crap. Sounds like he's got flippers instead of hands. Check out Oscar Peterson if you're into piano playing instead of mumbling." Never the twain shall meet either, but that's cool because it makes for muso controversy. (Actually this is a pointless extemporization of an old review of Jeff Beck's 'Blow By Blow', along the lines of "No point arguing about this one, the people who are going to like it react as violently to questions about 'point' or 'content' as atheists do to references to God." Which sort of proves in a roundabout way that Yngwie Malmsteen is the ultimate ANTI-rockist! 'Content' relies on perception of performer's personality so I've just done a 180 and realised that maybe the auteur-genii like Monk and Lifeson are actually the 'rockists' and the GIT hordes are ACTUALLY PUNKS! Still doesn't mean I'd rather listen to the latter though. Well, not all the time. And yes, rocklit geeks like myself will notice the Jeff Beck thing is courtesy Xgau, I sent him a Brazen Hussies CD but never got a reply, even an E- would be nice, although I don't know if he uses those anymore, it's that 'sizzling bomb' now isn't it? Look I just made this into yet another shameless publicity bid)

I just played Chrono Trigger for over an hour.

Not all messages are displayed: show all messages (179 of them)

In Japanese.
Not that I could read alot of it(one character speaks in an insanely thick and formal SAMURAI dialet, the royal family speaks high keigo which I oddly understood... not sure what that means. Alot of Kanji, too), what I did read is alot funnier, and I wouldn't have to read it anyway.
I could play it in russian, swedish, arabic... DOESN'T MATTER. I can play it with my feet without looking directly at the creen. I'VE DONE IT BEFORE.

In fact I set the battle modes to harder ones just for more of a challenge.
THE ATTACK NAMES ARE DIFFERENT AND IT DOESN'T MATTER.
I haven't played it in years and I can just go "Oh, now I need to do that, so I'll press this sequence of buttons and kill"
SPINAL FUNCTION.
If I did a blood transfuction I'm sure the recieving human(in addition to getting high from all the meds) would BE ABLE TO PLAY CHRONO TRIGGER.

That's not very long, either. I used to do 4-5 hour stretches. I don't remember how long it took to beat lavos when I'm SUPPOSED to lose...

I've seen all 11 main endings and variations of most of them.
I used to level up by playing the game through.
Fight the same series of wimps in the forect for an hour or two? I DON'T THINK SO. I think I'll BEAT THE GAME 3 times.
The same way EVERY TIME.
Fastest way to winning.
Then I'd work at accumulating more items and becoming so strong NOTHING could stop me. But only after completing EVERY POSSIBLE SIDE STORY.

This was accomplished in part by a trick my brother (ex-in-law) found.
He spend 6 hours fighting the same battle over and over.
Steal the same item from the same monsters.
I was FLOORED when I heard that.
He had a save on the system with MAXED OUT magic power on EVERY character.
Then I went on to bit by bit max every character as much as possible.

Then I lent it to my then girlfriend, and somehow that save was erased.
it's wuite possible the fact that I had a Game Gear save on it that was so fucked it screwed the system, but she may (VERY DOUBTFUL) have deleted it on purpose, but I think she was ashamed of ACCIDENTALLY deleting it and lied.
But I don't remember if you CAN just delete a save in CT....

This game was my sole entertainment source save random TV things for 2-3 years.
THAT'S INSANE.
I had an old-school Geocities site(long gone, I loved it) dedicated to subtexts and retardo descriptions of characters.
I sprayed my hair the color of my fav character, I bought a replica sword like the one he carried, GREW MY HAIR TO THE SAME LENGTH.
Used his name on EVERY message board, wait, they were all CHAT ROOMS then.
Remember CHAT ROOMS?
There was a CT chatroom I had regular DAILY meetings in.
I SOMEHOW developed a crush on the webmaster until I saw she was really palsied and horse-like.
Still cool. Not attractive.

WOW.
This is the most meaningless crap I've ever written, but it's a bit of an insight onto how far into things I get.

Any CT fans?
Anyone else have a similar past with a different game?

i think frank kogan gave me a link to ilm and that's the first time i looked at it. 2002. i went on a thread and jess and blount were tearing into someone and i thought: man, they are rough here, i don't think i can hang with these guys. i should have run.

can anyone find the george bush dream one? i think that may be my fav. ilx quote.

hahaaha yes

i think that gz post is solid reportage

The web was supposed to be for the "cool" kids, the ones who never wanted to be popular -- but give 'em a taste, and they get hooked too. The whole thing about getting readers is sort of ass backwards -- the web is treated as a unit. What readers? To what purpose -- towards influencing events and discourse, or towards ego reasons, or towards... and so on. If things don't make it into "mass consciousness" maybe they weren't meant to be there, and that doesn't mean anything good or bad. Aphorisms for a New World #1: As the ration of filtering to flow increases, content tends towards the approximate audience it deserves.

OK
Pitchfork - has done their end of year poll, and people have expressed that they have disagreed with the choice of albums,

So when are you going to put your head on the block and state your personal opinions, if you have a weblog or website - when do you plan to publish your best of albums list?

If you don't - then why not use I Love Music - stating your opinions -and asking for debate/comments.

If you disagree with Pitchfork - then thats fine - but please lets have your individual wisdom! enlighten us, entertain us lets create debate

My best 40 albums of 2000 list will be published on 17th December.
