ironic that ilx's own thread revivalist would get the scoop on this couple being revivalists

omar little, Tuesday, 4 January 2011 00:15 (thirteen years ago) link

ilx's engine is actually a hybrid powered by a combination of faux-hyperbolic rage and challops "braking" such as your post

okay this has to be made into a board description somehow

do yall never think of some comment of faux-hyperbolic rage at a cultural product or signifier that is not to your liking and then think better of it?

i just wonder if people ever essay some scornful thought/reply to these sort of threads, and then think...'oh forget it' and go and do something more enlightened

if you are truly enlightened then you know that nothing you ever do will ever matter. so have at these hyundai dweebs! you're all just gonna die anyway.

^^twee zen

the medina green preservation society (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 4 January 2011 00:36 (thirteen years ago) link

cuz i was sort of going to add to the scorn...noting the way the lyrics are strung along with the melody in a totally haphazard way*, but my lack of music-theory knowledge caught up with me cuz it's kinda difficult to explain further and then i thought 'oh forget it'

that said i oughtn't to have been devoting my thoughts to this stupid song anyway

*i think this vaguely reminds me of 'the microphones' but again 2000s indie isn't a specialism of mine

not for the first time scott seward sums up my life view in a nice sentence.

Oh, this thread - oh, this band - I wish I could unsee and unhear it all.

If I get deeply into pigfuck and funeral doom will it erase the kutesy-pootsey-poo-painey-pain? Or am I destined to forever burn?

Why is there so much of this pukey, little girl with wet marbles in her mouth, singing? Feist, this chick, and the other day some band someone sent me called Twin Sister who were rather nice until she opened her mouth.

I'm starting to think that advertisers and networks have broken down and decided to make it Christmas year 'round. Hallmark Channel and ABC Family are still broadcasting Christmas movies as well.

Hallmark has only been airing Call Me Mrs. Miracle so often as it's their highest grossing film of yet, mostly due in fact to Jewel Staite's role on this. I'm not as pathetic as I sound, I just happen to follow the former Firefly actress on her twitter.

heh (kelpolaris), Tuesday, 4 January 2011 04:55 (thirteen years ago) link

Seriously? I had no idea there were enough Firefly fans to generate those type of ratings.

not the sort of person who would wind up in a landfill (Nicole), Tuesday, 4 January 2011 05:16 (thirteen years ago) link

holla!

VegemiteGrrrl, Tuesday, 4 January 2011 05:19 (thirteen years ago) link

Er, ok, scuse me, I had to double check - she says "all year", not all time. Still, I think the correlation remains... Jewel Staite was only in one feature the whole year, despite Xmas associations.

It is a bit depressing to read her status updates time to time. She seems to be essentially retired, constantly tweeting about what she just ate to..what she just ate. But in between she'll reminisce about her Firefly days, absolutely morosely, like it was the peak of her life and she's never been able to reclaim any semblance of her former days since. Which is pretty much the truth.

heh (kelpolaris), Tuesday, 4 January 2011 05:52 (thirteen years ago) link

Jewel Staite is such a cutie pie that, were she not married, I would follow her not only on twitter but to the very ends of the earth.

Cunga, Tuesday, 4 January 2011 06:31 (thirteen years ago) link

Oddly enough I have direct access to her Facebook account. Well, the "Add Jewel as a Friend" portion of it anyway.

^^^see what I mean.

Would start a tweepop band and sell hyundais with that.

Cunga, Tuesday, 4 January 2011 06:38 (thirteen years ago) link

I need an introductory and obvious "I'm just a fan, but not just ANY FAN" message to follow up with the friend request. I'm afraid if I just did it randomly, that even she accepted I wouldn't be around for the time period in which she realizes I'm just yet another stalker and she decides to delete her. It's gotta be witty enough, the message, for me to remain on her friends list for at least 2 hours.

heh (kelpolaris), Tuesday, 4 January 2011 06:41 (thirteen years ago) link

*delete me
