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

excitable Question Time guest (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 February 2017 09:56 (seven years ago) link

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

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

steely dad (Drugs A. Money), Saturday, 11 February 2017 10:32 (seven years ago) link

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

sarahell, Saturday, 11 February 2017 10:39 (seven years ago) link

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

steely dad (Drugs A. Money), Saturday, 11 February 2017 10:45 (seven years ago) link

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

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".

― 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.

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

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

sarahell, Saturday, 11 February 2017 20:38 (seven years ago) link

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.

lion in winter, Monday, 13 February 2017 06:17 (seven years ago) link

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

o. nate, Saturday, 25 February 2017 02:44 (seven years ago) link

I got a 242, helped by some lucky guessing.

o. nate, Saturday, 25 February 2017 02:44 (seven years ago) link

248. When stuck, picking the group you've heard of usually seems to work.

Choco Blavatsky (seandalai), Saturday, 25 February 2017 03:02 (seven years ago) link

249. Yeah, quite a lot of these were three records I didn't know + Blondie.

mookieproof, Saturday, 25 February 2017 03:05 (seven years ago) link

230. A lot of this stuff is not remotely what I care about.

_Rudipherous_, Saturday, 25 February 2017 03:28 (seven years ago) link

235--numerous, numerous guesses. As tribute to one of my new favourite movies, I made sure to get "Heroes" wrong.

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 25 February 2017 03:34 (seven years ago) link

247 with a LOT of guessing, helped by things like "There's rapping and the only rap group there is The Roots, so..."

albvivertine, Saturday, 25 February 2017 03:34 (seven years ago) link

I went through three guesses before picking Arcade Fire on one question. Apparently what I've heard by them didn't make an impression beyond inspiring me to not listen to any more.

sigh can't believe i whiffed on lol vampire weekend
would have been a way better quiz if they removed the artist names from the covers
also if they didn't use ugly greatest hits art
also if they had a time bonus
There was a fair amount of stuff that I had never heard but I could guess based on the cover / offhanded remarks on ILM. like level 10 was just WGW punchlines

putting a jack white solo album in a list of 50 songs you expect me to recognize makes me IA

The scoring on this is weird.

jmm, Saturday, 25 February 2017 03:48 (seven years ago) link

I got 246, mainly missing on the rap questions.
