Say something nice about another ILXor

Brad inspired me to gush about my own niche music obsessions and it paid off, especially because said niche tastes can be a little lonely for me and it's exciting to get other people actually interested for once.

everybody OTM about everybody, i've been appreciating a lot of Lily Dale posts lately and Brad has become practically the heart of this board over the last couple years imo

Now Brad is indeed quite great, and as I've had them over for a birthday party once I hope they weren't too bemused.

that was a great party!!!

Oh good!

i believe that one day in our bright dustant futures brad and i will karaoke fall out boy together as the lord intended

i also believe that and look forward to the day

I still look forward to our Madonna karaoke

Video of these must be shared.

I wouldn't wish my signing on my worst enemy, much less ilxor folks I like!

would be so delighted to karaoke with any and all of y'all

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

if I'm there, make sure the place doesn't have John Lennon's "Mother" (it happens).

i saw this performed at karaoke within the last month

whose sick joke was that? How can you see it and not do it?

oh you're throwing me out now for just singing a song from your book. I see, I see.

if stirmonster likes something, then its a pretty done deal that i will.

i did "Ain't No Fun" by Snoop once and got looks

Brad is not getting due praise as a guide to horror itt

Yes, aside from the general high-quality postage, I've discovered more than a few top-notch horror gems thanks to Brad.

okay but whom amongst us has karaoked 'mother' by the police

i didn't see this at the time, but i'll repost it now for clout! aww you guys are very kind, and all completely awesome people in my book.

one very strange side effect of the later trump years, the vortex of twitter, and the trapped/overstimulated feeling of lockdown (and about 18mos of grueling job stress in there too) is just forgetting to look at ilx. it seems like a nice place, still.

Very fond of poster ufo, post more please!

yep ufo has wide ranging tastes and interesting opinions and i say their name in my head like jim sullivan sings it

otm go ufo

no way they don't know this song and i want to think the handle was picked for it

table is the table's range from being spirited and passionate, to being kind and self-reflective, not to mention their engagement with lots of interesting music, makes them a very welcome presence on this board for me, and a model for my own posting behavior.

definitely

Another something nice about ILX in general, not any specific poster

This place has remained comparatively unblemished and more or less civil, with attentive modding and long institutional memory, in an internet social landscape that has gone through so many changes in the last 20 years. Migrations to and from various platforms have affected ILX but the forum continues to offer what it has always offered: text based chat. No avatars, no upvoting, no deleting or editing. I'm glad you're still here, borad.

Bee OK's love of music is inspiring. I'm not at all a Daft Punk fan, but the way that poll was done was inspiring.

And I used "inspiring" twice. Oh, for an edit button.

never

NEVER!!!

jimbeaux you seem nice and new? I'm glad you're here, yay for good new posters

Well, thanks.

I am sure there are historical reasons for no edit button, I'm just unaware of them.

Not being able to scrub one's own history is an inducement to more civil posting (I hope).

Makes sense. I suppose the occasional poorly worded post is a small price to pay.

edit buttons allow the OP to change what they originally said and make the respondent look like they overreacted unless they clearly show an edit was made and/or allow you to see what the original post said.

but even then lots of people read fast and don't notice a post that said "Edit" next to it, so people can see you overreact to your post and edit theirs to make you look unhinged and force you to explain "uhh that's not what it said originally, see where it says 'edit'?"

neandz!!! nice to see you :)

Lol nice to see you too and then realize I thought I posted this in the Twitter thread.

Edit?!!!

LL otm - its been a good constant throughout what feels like neverending upheaval & change elsewhere
