Clusterfuck Summary Corner 2 - Back on the Corner

he made a record with the dude from orange juice.

two records!

momus wasn't banned. he left before registration and i think before anyone was genuinely banned (or temp banned). becky lucas was the first time i can remember mod consensus that 'action is necessary' but they didn't ban her (they did do some cool thing where there was a message that said 'don't engage w/ becky lucas' that showed up for everybody but b3cky luc4s). they did some clever things w/ c4lum also, like he would be starting threads and they would only show up for him. he did change his username like crazy so maybe he was quasi-banned. pre-registration it was very difficult to ban someone. i'm trying to remember if strongo banned anyone or if he just deleted threads.

^^^stet i hope yr paying attention

iirc Momus was not banned, he was embarrassed

Hahaha, this is perfect.

WTF is Gawker anyway?

newsie-wewsies about cunting bellends and big bottom birds

jon w was tweeting about intersectionality the other day, bring him back too

whatever happened to alex in nyc

huh, so used search function and it looks like momus basically stops posting really in autumn 2006, november really but it looks like september 2006 is the last time he posted "like normal". there wasn't any heated discussion or critical moment. he mentions starting a new blog and starting threads there instead of here because less ppl disagree w/ him there. he pops up very sporadically after that. as far as i can tell this is his last post - list junk food dressed up for yuppies who are too smart for junk food

pretty sure that made the list of famous last posts

If his final words were "Does anyone know where to get cheese in Williamsburg?" then he again fails to disappoint.

alex in nyc still pops in from time to time

haha i love this

momus went to livejournal for some time and pontificated dully over there. Dunno about nowdays.

if momus had continued he'd have been long banned by now anyway

http://imomus.com/
http://mrstsk.tumblr.com/

ran into his tumblr by chance recently when i was gis-ing howard devoto

momus surfaced in the marie calloway fucking a famous writer story and it was weird? because i think of him as a grizzled old british man that posted on ilx much the same way as i think of "martin skidmore" or "mark sinker."

i learn from tumblr he has a new song called "electric dionysus."

THE AMOEBAS ARE DEAD NOW.
AS YOU WILL BE SOON IF YOU PERSIST.
LEAVE THIS PLACE, I BEG YOU!
THE LAST PERSON TO SEE THE EYE SOUNDED LIKE THIS!
THEN HE DIED!

i won't ask anymore questions

Momus currently posts a 10-point comment after every song on the bowiesongs blog.

I wasn't really sure what "Gawker" is, so I read that whole thread, and it was kinda depressing. These days I come to ILX mostly to discuss old hippie techno and comics, so I tend to forget there's this whole other world here where everyone is a journalist and half the people read or write to sites where media people gossip about other media people.

By definition, everyone on ILX reads at least one of those sites.

Well yeah, but I like I said, it's easy to forget that when you only read your niche threads.

I feel you tuomas, 100% of my knowledge of Gawker comes from that thread, it's certainly not a site I would have ever bothered to be aware of otherwise

i can't even tell who's kidding anymore

is this the new "i dont even own a tv"

I had no idea what Gawker was either, though I'm sure I'd saw it mentioned before, probably on ILX, I do own a TV however

I am not kidding fwiw

lol

wait I guess I heard about Gawker first on the Rob Ford thread, so that's not entirely true. Still my awareness of their schtick is 100% ILX-based. I mean, why would I bother to read that shit, I have better things to do.

for the record let me state here and may it be known forever that i only know about pitchfork media from the pitchfork is dumb part #345345346543543543534543654765 thread, why would i bother to read that shit otherwise?

jk i read pitchfork everyday

Οὖτις, there are some ilxors who would lol at you if you said you do more reading in books than on the internet. to them this is equivalent to living your in a cave and crapping on the ground.

American ILXors maybe. There are others, not that many anymore but still...

i lol'd cause he had been strenuously arguing about a website he claims never to have read for the past week

i read books

lol waht I made no strenuous arguments about gawker I barely posted on that thread

Οὖτις, there are some ilxors who would lol at you if you said you do more reading in books than on the internet. to them this is equivalent to living your in a cave and crapping on the ground.

first sentence is correct, second isn't.

or rather, first sentence is correct if you mean people would lol if you posted on ilx that you did more reading in books than on the internet. private conversation less likely.

glad somebody's finally standing up for books

private conversation less likely

tbf, most of the lols on the interent are not actually laughing out loud, either

ilx IS definitely fond of nose-tweaking folks who have lots of time for it but regularly announce they have little time for crap. personally i think speaks well of our irreverence towards ourselves.

I have so much time for crap I can't even tell you.

i am made of crap
