Why do people leave ILX for good?

get up get into it get inverted and retrogade

I once started an 'end of music' Pandora station based solely on the initial inputs of James Brown and Schoenberg. Geir is a good sort, though; some time ago, I reminded him of some of his earlier ILM pronouncements and he lolled

I like Geir, I think he drops by here from time to time. Some weird opinions, but a good guy.

So he's not an actual phrenologist? I'mma need a citation, wins.

everyone who leaves becomes their legend in time, rarely fairly but thats life

did… did a nude spock write this?

I said musico-phrenologist which is not an actual thing: I was not being literal

Ah, my bad. I parsed the hyphen as an 'and' instead of a metaphorical qualifier.

what happened in 04 that so many ppl seem to have found this place? That's when I got here but can't recall how.

Is that around when the Baffler excerpted the MIA thread?

I became a parent so I was under what I call My First Quarantine, don’t know about anybody else.

lol that MIA thread was def one of my first full-on ILM reads

iirc I found this place googling for "Charalambides"

yeah i wonder if 2004/5 had an influx bc google still worked properly

The googlers were great

I learned about google on my first professional job, which lasted from 2000 to late 2003. I feel fairly certain I encountered ILX during that time as well, but it seems too early given my posting history.
