inspired by Hendrix thread title... been wondering for a while, is there a thread featuring examples of guitarists/vocalists throwing to the guitar solo with a corny line? are there enough examples for this to be threadworthy? a fairly boutique enquiry, I will freely allow.
(IMO all-time best example being 'alright doll-face, come on and bore me')

here's a bunch to pick from:Best spoken intros to guitar solos....Introducing a musical soloBest thing a bandleader/singer says to his band to encourage them to rock the fuck out in the middle of a songgenuinely great shouts for the guitarist by the vocalist

tbf why bother with this year/decade/century?

D'oh, yr right imago!
NV: it's a useful way of dropping recommendations of a certain year into a thread of that year? Other than that, I've got no good answer to "why bother" when it comes to this, or to anything else really.

ignore me being mean about jangly indie pop, i'm so bad at keeping it positive
― hip posts without flaggadocio (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 3 June 2020 12:50 (three years ago) link
You being positive abt jangly indie is another thing on ilx we can't find, it's cool :)
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 3 June 2020 13:00 (three years ago) link

is there a good thread to ID a quote ? i wrote out this quote about painting but i can't remember / track down who wrote it. would the "what can't you find on the internet" be the best place ?
― budo jeru, Wednesday, 8 July 2020 17:58 (three years ago) link
you could start a new thread, or put it in any thread at all #onethread
― all cats are beautiful (silby), Wednesday, 8 July 2020 18:30 (three years ago) link
I think "what can't you find on the internet" would be good, yes.

I can find a 'help me id this song!' thread but can't find one for 'help me ID this film!': does such a thing exist?

there's an ILM thread called something like "Songs that sound like ____"
all the songs are linked by a certain kind of sound / feel, and recently somebody posted herbie hancock's tune "textures" as a youtube video itt
i can't remember what any of the other music was !
any idea ?
― budo jeru, Saturday, 22 August 2020 11:43 (three years ago) link
doesn’t come up in Search, right?this why it is a very good idea to provide track info when posting a YouTube or other music link

(anyway. Reading Rebus this morning and he was in greyfriars cemetery where they had mortsafes. Turned on TV to watch Bob Mortimer fishing and the 3 minutes of the previous programme was Alice Roberts digging in Birmingham and finding a mortsafe there too. I had not heard of them until this morning and then twice in just over an hour)

Within the last month or two someone posted about some sort of mesh system or wifi booster that was working really well for them and was several hundred dollars cheaper than Eero and the other big name ones. Don't see it in the stupid computer questions or working from home threads and not having success with Google searches. Anyone know where this one is? Thanks!
