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

do we have a baader-meinhof thread, a thread for the frequency illusion, not the germans?
― koogs, Monday, 28 September 2020 08:35 (three years ago) 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!
― early rejecter, Friday, 2 October 2020 12:57 (three years ago) link
ilx search for 'eero' would have found it though i took a more roundabout route:
Can someone recommend me a Router?
― neith moon (ledge), Friday, 2 October 2020 13:19 (three years ago) link
Thanks! Didn't really occur to me to try ILX search as I almost always get better results through Google, but a good reminder not to write it off entirely.
― early rejecter, Friday, 2 October 2020 13:26 (three years ago) link
Somewhere on ILX, probably I Love Books, someone (maybe Mordy?) mentioned comparing the ancient world to a current political situation, and then someone else recommended a book that pointed out the problems with doing that. Does anyone remember what the book was?

Is there a good Jeffrey Evans/68 Comeback/Gibson Bros catchall thread?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 13 November 2020 00:57 (three years ago) link
What is the title/link of that ILM thread with "mental mashups" or songs that involuntarily run into each other in your head? I think it's different to the "songs that sound the same" thread?

is there a good Ask a Lawyer (for non-binding advice!) thread? I am trying to advocate for someone who has been fucked, and it would be great to just ask a few basic questions
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 24 November 2020 17:16 (three years ago) link
The lawyers would mostly tell you that you need to hire a lawyer probably
― is right unfortunately (silby), Tuesday, 24 November 2020 17:26 (three years ago) link
haha, yep, i know. i'm not looking to hire a lawyer, though, and we don't have the money to do so.
it's more of a "who can i write to about this? who will respond? will it help to have 10 people/advocates on a zoom call for the hearing? how can we let the judge know that this is not a run-of-the-mill case for the day, but one that will result in me yelling at people they know for fucking up if they delay this one more time? ok, only the first half of that last one

I think Sleeve is trying to link to I Love Lawyers there. When I tried posting something on there many years ago, I was told that it was not an active board and was only used for a very specific circumstance.
― peace, man, Tuesday, 24 November 2020 17:44 (three years ago) link
yeah...i'm not sure i've ever seen a post on that board! i'd be just as happy with I Love Advocates or I Love Knowing What I'm Supposed to Do as well
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 24 November 2020 17:45 (three years ago) link
xp ah, did not realize that. It's still right there in the boards list!

It isn't there for me, but it was on my old user name. Visibilty might depend on when you signed up or something?

Where is that ILM thread that started out as "Hey everyone, let's all post a YouTube video of some cool music. I'll start." and the first post was so mind-blowingly awesome that everyone just kept talking about that one video for the rest of the thread? It was a bunch of musicians (from India I think?) performing a long drone thing.

Is there a thread for people who want to start making electronic music and have stupid n00b questions about what gear they need, recommendations for basic kit, etc?
― joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Monday, 14 December 2020 18:57 (three years ago) link
check out I Make Music board and post to a relevant thread?
step 1 -- do not denigrate self by saying your questions are stupid; everyone is on their own musical journeyremaining steps are up to you :)

yeah, and answers to n00b questions could be useful to other people who are interested too!
