what next for Chris ott?

(h/t markers)

He seems so happy now

Peace, Ott.

love the new direction

keep it positive bro

That was a great night. How is everyone.

hey 90k whats up

ott, waterface here, wondering what u think of mac de marco

is it true that you take no prisoners

i don't know if i want to know how Ott's "one time....at band camp" story ends

ott you're wrong about the Lilys! Eccsame was unique.

it is true that i take no prisoners. mac de marco is a doofus and his music is terrible, 2013/14 = pitchperfect PR and life or death clients and then rest-of-world as far as indie ce-web-rity coverage.

it was unique and is not horrible but is also more post-rock than gaze should have sued mercury rev over deserter's songs.

it is good to be back i can feel the distant pangs of my ilxor persona returning.

i can hear you getting stronger

which ilx thread dedicated to you is better, this one or the other one?

ce-web-rity coverage

nice. i'm gonna steal this at a later date fyi

i am saddened to see the words "bruh" "brah" and "breh" used on ilxor.

Yes it wasn't shoegaze at all, but neither were any of the records after the first (save for some songs here and there). xp

how do u feel about "bro" though?

also is it OK for people from hawaii to say "brah"?

nah

didnt ask u breh

this is probably the one i'll stick with because it doesn't say pitchfork in the title although i have no idea what i've posted in either it's all terrible and funny.

glad we can agree on that

so... what's next?

ilx occupied such a weird place for me it was like the place i was most annoyed by but also wanted to be respected by. now i am too rich and famous to care.

who can say what's next when something worth writing about comes up i'll write something on medium when something worth ranting about comes up i'll do a video i just don't know. but i can say the day to day churn of bullshit on twitter / all of the music websites is reaching a critical butt mass where like i don't even know if i can bother.

like i see whiney in the cut and i'm like son how.

he spits out whines out of his butt

mass

ily ilx

what is ott listening to 2014

chris i went to a basement show last weekend and haven't told a soul about it

my disciples i will never abandon u.

When I think about the summer I mowed lawns to "Where is My Mind?" knowing that nobody within ten square miles had heard it AND COULDN'T.

Beautiful times, breh.

there is a second tweet related to that and i maintain there are sad things about music not being distributed socially except as a pose (secret underground tapez).

hey chris how do we know this is really you?

can you verify by tweeting the word "breh" in the next hour?

apologies mr ott I don't own a tv, can you tell me what it is you're famous for?

nae brae

i am famous for having multiple ilxor threads with my name in the title.

this is how you get rich

As many threads as Momus? I don't think so. Nor Ned Raggett.

i am not quite as famous as those two.

When ott inevitably dies of a heart attack it will be because Vans slipped a few flyers into a 100-capacity venue in Brooklyn that he's never been to. I suppose there are worse ways to go.

Cognitive distortion is your friend.

Srsly so what is next for Chris Ott? He deleted his entire internet presence and Shallowrewards.com redirects to Pitchfork.
