Any reason why ILM is so quiet these days?

One last thing: people have asked me for ten years where I 'found' the music I listen to. I've invariably directed them here with the caveat that 'it's hard to get into.' No one has ever spoken of ilxor again to me.

reprobates

one of my first memories of ilxor lingo was the term fap, meaning fancy a pint. now that was confusing. I also get the sense i'm one of the only "new" people on this board, think i first joined around june or something after seeing it talked about on The Singles Jukebox, which has a lot of ilx posters

also getting told that a comment i made was otm for the first time was a great feeling

welcome!

why thank you!

the annual convo about whether ilx is too scary is perfectly fine & all that but when it invariably gets to the bit where people worry about in-jokes alienating new posters that's when I'm really like jesus fuck guys choose life for fucks sake

or "site-specific jargon" or whatever, same thing

come on, it's a simple matter of someone making a guide, perhaps that seems po-faced and humourless but it's surely needed

done one

Another mostly lurker here, like lion in winter I've been leeching ilm for info for a while. Found it by googling in 2012 and browsed it every now and then, registered and started checking it out daily in 2014.

i haven't spent two decades thinking about music through the lens of a critical vocabulary. so it feels weird to post an opinion. it feels juvenile.

otm

I fell I'm an extreme example of that mindset, I lack any critical skills not just for music but for anything else really, and rarely have anything more interesting to say than "I like/don't like this".

THAT'S the kind of new poster this board needs. i salute the meticulouslessness of her research.

hang on, why does Duck South Africa just use the generic anglo-voice?

and why have the same Duck Australia ad 18 times in a row?

I'm gonna go with door #3 here

there's also another Australian Belinda Harris who is a real estate agent, but I can't see why you would use a loop of Toilet Duck commercials to sell houses?

That BubblePOP Kids video is a helluva sendoff

her other playlists are clips from my little pony, other kid's programs, and two videos of the same song by James Bay -- I think Belinda Harris is a pre-teen girl, and then what does that say about us in our fondness for Toilet Duck Total Toilet Protection in its international glory

a foundational principle of I love music is not to discount something just because it is enjoyed by preteen girls

It'd be something if brodie knew Belinda Harris

of course in 2017 the confluence of novelty pop music, preteen girls and Australians named Harris carries far more unsavoury connotations

8 Mistakes That Make Good Employees Leave:

1. Lack of Total Toilet Protection in the workplace.

Duckstretch is still rendering btw, bear with

― chihuahuau

honestly in some ways i genuinely regret developing a critical vocabulary. i grew up with the typical rockist antipathy for critical discourse (listened to a lot of frank zappa, which didn't help). but i wound up here anyway because to hell with the devil, the critics are the ones who really have all the best tunes. and after years of this now i can write about music like a second-rate hack. it wasn't a skill i was trying to develop.

but in other ways i don't regret it, because when i look at the future and what it holds it increasingly seems like it's either genocide or creative work. i hope to god people can be convinced the latter is a better alternative. it's a hard sell.

wasn't sure about that at first but holy shit at 24 minutes in

looks like I will vote in the 2017 traxpoll

more yessing out in years previous to balance out uptight critics might have helped but alas that ship sailed long ago

one of my first memories of ilxor lingo was the term fap, meaning fancy a pint

OH MY GOD I'd been wondering about this forever, I never asked though because I knew you fuckers wouldn't give me a sensible answer

And now the scales drop from your eyes.

Me too.

When people are talking about the regular in depth critical analysis of this board it doesn't really sound like the ILX I know but I don't really go on the Rolling music threads. I think those posters are in the minority and that's fine. I know I can't go as far as them.

15 minutes in -- totally chill, really emphasizing the "bye worries" theme

I recant. What I meant was: I haven't spent two decades filtering my own critical vocabulary through a warren of obscurant friends. There seems to actually be really simple steps for inclusion here: loudly, ignorantly proclaim your presence; mocked; try again; mocked; injoke +/- vocabulary subsumption.

It's pretty OK as a hazing process, but I feel like the subtext is really giving a fuck about Jute Gyte.

I think the subtext could stand to give more of one tbf

mockery can be quite character-forming, especially for bullish prigs, I would recommend it in doses varying by levels of childhood privilege

when I joined ilx the regulars stole my clothes and dumped me in the part of town where they listen to Big & Rich

I'm sure some of you nerds on here can knock this one out of the park:
