Post-Twitter ILX membership drive

I’ll see if I can reach out to Pipecock. Even if he’s still in ‘take my toys and go home’ mode maybe he can scare up some uh link minded influencers to engage with 👍

*like, minded

Or is he actually banned now? Anyway this is all in jest, I won’t be reaching out to, or near, or around the cock of pipe.

OTOH maybe this is because the people with strong opinions have left, and it would go back to how it was before if they came back.

Nah I just think it's everyone got old and less invested in music taste as a form of personal validation. Might be projecting but.

the early 2010s everyone seemed to be constantly engaged in various forms of conflict and trolling and it wasn't a very nice place to be

shoulda seen the late 00s

Let us get Peter Gabriel to join us!

Can we get Lex back? Is he done with his book? Does he even use Twitter? Has he learned how to cook pasta yet?

The only person I can reach out to is the guy who made a post about not really getting Sly and the Family Stone's Fresh.

Lex is on Twitter but just tweets about tennis iirc

shoulda seen the late 00s

Dissatisfaction with the toxicity of late 2000s Internet culture is how I somehow wound up here in like 2009 or so.

Actually, long live Twitter if it means some of these people don’t come back.

I like Lex and treasure his posts on the Rebecca Black thread, but he was one of the primary "I hate most music and will tell you so" people, which imo was not good for ILM and afaict not doing him any good either.

when I read some threads from the 2000s there is often some shocking/ terrible stuff in there which would result in deletion and banning in 2022, it's true.

"I hate most music and will tell you so" people

and neither funny not insightful about that music.

well he seemed equally passionate about the stuff he liked but maybe you were just hanging out on all the shitty music threads

Maybe he came across that way for a reason

I haven't keep on a certain fellow from Edinburgh in a while, although I believe his biographer showed up recently.

he actually got good at cooking, was consistently posting nice looking meals on twitter for a while, i was like this is very weird circumstances to feel proud of someone

The first/last person I invited to ILX was Marissa
