That comic strip with the "Love Is"-esque indie boy and girl going to a gig, dancing, getting together, breaking up then doing it all again. Later Photoshopped into a rave version for Ronan, with E making the boy Mr Floppy. But I want the original!

There was a thread recently with a Ned Raggett post recently about wanting to avoid feeling like a curmudgeon and keep up with the new, but also kind of feeling like a curmudgeon at the same time.

That's all I can remember -- maybe the thread was about all of the music available on the internet nowadays, or something about keeping up with new styles, but I'm not sure. Anyone?

Where's the thread for nirvana/kurt cobain references in hip hop lyrics?

What's up with MCs doing shout-outs to Kurt Cobain?

Marmotdeth (marmotwolof), Friday, 2 June 2006 00:30 (seventeen years ago) link

hip-hop songs that reference nirvana or kurt cobain

Marmotdeth (marmotwolof), Friday, 2 June 2006 00:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Jon, I most likely listen to more rap than you do. Or is it forbidden for me to talk about it 'cause I'm not American?

Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 2 June 2006 08:42 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG somebody find those threads where we acted like these bands that Alex in NYC made up actually existed!

IIRC, it was talking about what songs were hits in Finland.

Can anyone find me the thread about that big sinister empty hotel building in North Korea?

(At least, I think it's in North Korea)

The closest I got was a thread where we were all like "WTF where's the thread!?!?".

RFI: Ryugyong hotel

mummy wrapped in bacon (nickalicious), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 15:32 (seventeen years ago) link

There was a hilarious Ryugyong Hotel/Mount Doom from LOTR photoshop in the orig.

mummy wrapped in bacon (nickalicious), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 15:33 (seventeen years ago) link

As opposed to, like, Mount Doom, Nebraska or something.

which old thread is the one where Ally posted pics of kittens dressed up and doing various things like in the above photo? Harvey Nicks rip it off 4 years later!

Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 12:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Surely pics of kittens dressed up and doing various things has been a staple of feliniphile merchandise since Roman times?

Can any of you guys even use the search feature? It hasn't worked AT ALL for me since, like, 2005.

the doaple gonger (nickalicious), Thursday, 27 July 2006 12:04 (seventeen years ago) link

If it's something that's come up recently I hazard a guess how long ago it was and use the "new answers from n days ago" thing at the bottom, otherwise I use "site:http://ilx.wh3rd.net" in google searches. Not great but it works.

There was a thread on Spaghetti Westerns, I think it started with DV noting that his favourite is "Naked Django", "not that I've actually seen it of course."

Also, the second "Showcase" thread on ILC!

Alba (Alba), Thursday, 4 January 2007 12:37 (seventeen years ago) link

(which seems to be unindexed by Google, even under the new regime. I don't know how many threads that applies to)

Alba (Alba), Thursday, 4 January 2007 12:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not sure there was an actual second Showcase Presents thread, I think it was another thread that got completely derailed.

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 4 January 2007 13:13 (seventeen years ago) link

There was! It was called, like, "Showcase Reprezent! Pt.2" or something.

Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Thursday, 4 January 2007 16:03 (seventeen years ago) link

This is as close as I can find.

I used to be able to find the O.C. thread by Googling "peter gallagher's eyebrows" + "amateurist," but that doesn't work anymore and Direct ILX Search doesn't like short words like "the" and, uh, "O.C." Anyone?
