new here

Hi, new here. wanted to introduce myself. I'm from queens and long island but live in brooklyn now specifically Stuyvesant Heights (ie Bed Stuy). I play in a few bands. Thank you.

Welcome -- how'd you find out about us?

and you think you're worth your own thread already? WTF, dude? There's something called proto-f'ing-col.

kidding. HI!

Hello, nice to meet you.

well i dont know actually, i think i did a search on a few things and they all linked here...I've been looking for an all music board for some time now. BCO and VLV are too big...Maybe this one will stick. I'm trying to wrap my head around this layout here. definitely kinda weird. how many other people post here?..

Haha - you can change the style in your preferences, but they're probably all 'weird'.

Hi Francis. What are BCO and VLV?

our layout makes sooooo much more sense than most webboards.

i'd guess we've busier than both bco and vlv though?

Hey dude, welcome to ILX. as a musician, don't be afraid to come visit I Make Music (IMM) as well. (which is not exactly a hotbed of activity, but we are a friendly bunch)

xpost last i checked we were slightly above 10000 registered users (not all of which post, of course)

viva la vinyl and board crewcial

Hi Francis! Welcome.

http://board.crewcial.org

http://board.vivalavinyl.org

oh thanks!

definitely kinda weird.

Nah it's just relaxed (and like ian sez, makes WAY more sense than other spots). But Keith's right about other options.

What are BCO and VLV?

And should we be organizing a fight with them?

vlv is http://board.vivalavinyl.org/

xposts

oh wow! its a lot bigger than both of those places! ok then!

theres a few vlv'ers on here and some BCO . Im only on vlv

Incorrect, Keith, we should be saying "...and can we eat them?"

Seconding on I Make Music, even though I am never there (except for fake U2 cover projects).

4,457 registered users 164,556 threads 7,321,463 messages (figures updated daily)

I zap uses that don't log in for six months too, so that figure is pretty accurate.

how long has this board been around for? and i'd like to LOL at some of the comments made about Blank Dogs in that other thread....

see i am obv not to be trusted xpost

The original board is almost nine years old; ILE started in 2001 and the rest of the boards followed as they did.

Now the crucial question -- what are these bands you play in and where are their sites?

You can see some of the old stuff here:

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/Pages/viewthreadsbymonth.jsp

francis what's your username on vlv? (and dont say santa dog :) )

oh hmmm. well im a bit apprehensive to give up ALL of my personal information. Not that the bands blow or anything, but I'd like reserve some anonymity before acting like a complete idiot on this thing...

if you really wanna know, send me a private message with personal information about yourself. Tit for Tat...

are there pm's on this thing?

No, but you can webmail individuals (click on the link that is someone's username).

not santa dog. and i dont really post on VLV. too many screamo revivalists and hardcore purists, although there are some very cool people on that board.

Hehe no worries, Francis -- actually quite understood!

Get them here, and get them to renounce their devotion to the other board (x-post).

hi francis! your name is my middle name.

vlv has assholes from all forms of music not just those!

bco is mostly vegans with bad tattoos

also dudes who have hot chicks waiting in their beds for them

oooh, i like the webmail function. pretty sweet!

also lots of people from scotland/england here! awesome! i am a british comedy freak. (no IT crowd. blech)

Yes, I am from Scotland... But, how do you know that!?

hi Francis. ILM is cool and all, but don't forget to check out ILE and all of the other boards. I didn't realize there was another board other than ILM for several months after I first posted here.

plenty of British comedy on this messageboard even!

ILE? link please?

And sometimes LJ tries his hand too!

i think it was in your profile, keith

ILE http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/NewAnswersControllerServlet?boardid=40

Actually Francis just go here:

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/index.jsp

And explore.

it says on my profile where im from too I think.

Oh yeah, so it is...

dude this is all you need: Site New Answers

oh gotcha, i love everything.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrllCZw8jiM

ILE? link please?

At the top of the screen click on "boards", then click on "I Love Everything". Later, if you decide to stick around you can put quick links to any board by messing around with the preferences.

haha unfortunately my name is not Francis.

hey francis

all the cool kids on ilx post pictures of animals and sandwiches here http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/NewAnswersControllerServlet?boardid=63

see you

well francis until i'm given an alternative your name is francis to me

:)

frankie I live on stuy and halsey

no way, i live on putname and lewis.

putnam

francis it is always best to reveal your full name for about 3 days at the start of your posting career, it will make you seem more personable and nobody will ever remember it

Haha

then post nudes

you been to saraghina yet?

ok then, my name is Balthazar. Balthazar Getty.

welcome! also see:

ILX search page to avoid starting duplicate threads:

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/Pages/Search/search.jsp

x-post -- Yeah well you were a prick to David Lynch. David Foster Wallace said so.

hmm saraghina. I have a backstory about that place and I'm not the best person to ask about it. But i have been there, and its pretty tasty.

isn't it "post n00dz"

i will try my damnest not to repeat threads.

hey, francis, did you pick up a guitar for the first time after hearing nirvana?

haha no i dont play guitar.

You should also familiarize yourself with the suggest ban feature

can i post one of my current favorite songs now?

not the way we do it.

hey Francis, why don't black people want to rock?

Welcome fellow New Yorker.

Try not to take everything you read here very seriously.

I suspect this will soon be the best thread on ILM. Ever.

(no IT crowd. blech)

ok, that's me out of this one.
joke.
welcome francis.

hey people, why don't Black Francis want to rock?

oh course now, ive been around on boards for a while.

also roberto- living colour were all black dudes and man, they had ripping guitar solos :|

also a fascinating piece of information about me-

i HATE the pixies.

ok we essentially got one more thing in common francis

hmm saraghina. I have a backstory about that place and I'm not the best person to ask about it. But i have been there, and its pretty tasty.

FRAN WHATS THE BACKSTORY

i HATE the pixies.

suddenly, without warning, francis pulls out the friendship for life card

is that friendship for life material?

PIXIES HATERS UNITE

theres lots of things i hate. and theres a lot of things I love. If I say i hate something, it usually means i love you enough to let you know my opinion on it.

wow, you can almost smell the b.o. on that viva vinyl board. gnarly. never seen it before.

francis are u white btw? (please reply "im white btw" if yes or any way you want if no)

i am currently a white man. Although I'm part italian.

that makes you practically black afaic

francis are you avoiding the saraghina story or

yeah im avoiding the saraghina story. It's not really something to talk about on a public board, but it isn't anything gossipy or bad or whatever. Just one of those things...? i dunno

that's great you live in the neighborhood. I love it here.

although the A train is a bit out of the way to get to (ie walking to the subway!)

fyi this board is a google magnet (xpost)

i.e. discretion is good sometimes

man i don't know what saraghina is but i'm intrigued.

francis if u give me ur email ill invite u to the private board and u can tell me the saraghina story

Pronounced Sa-Rag-Hina

got some saraghina last nite

ha its a new pizza place that opened up in our otherwise desolate good food area...

haha dom passantino wants to know!

Wait if you already know who Dom Passatino is...

hmmmmm

i hope that was a misreading francis that is ilx user "max"

we all have two names at least tho

isn't it "post n00dz"

WHAT NOW

gratsi, call all destroyer!

ok thread over. nothing to see here.

looooooool

disappointingly clinical

damn, invite to the secret board already.
way to go francis.

is the private board where the other members talk about really dark things like poorly recorded black metal or david tibet?

You gotta start somewhere.

xp hell no dude that stuff is out there for everyone

every night is nattens madrigal night on 77

i didnt know secret board was such a distinction! thank you!

David Tibet comes up on the 'hey we're catching up with our old high school buds who also post here' threads. You can't escape the guy.

well that album is my favorite black metal record i think. that era ulver was devastating.

Well David Tibet is way more tolerable than say, Tony Wakeford.

well

What about slightly newer-era Ulver? Much love?

I love the guys in the band but cannot get behind all their records.

Welcome to ILX!! Feel free to LOL!!

A LOL is no laughing matter - conserve them for the perfect moment

zs i didn't figure you to be against the free lol movement

Which records can you not get behind? Blood Inside is my favourite album of the entire decade, so bear in mind you answer might mortify me :(

Z S is the ayatollah of LOL's...

Hi, Francis. Nice to meet you.

you are of a different caliber than i. the marriage of heaven and hell takes lot of energy to like...

nice to meet you too!

I joined BCO to defend myself on a thread where people were talking trash about me.

There's a more diverse yet anonymous range of posters here then most boards, not that there isn't some consensus, but generally whereas most site's users can be defined, the only thing that ILX users have in common seems to be the willingness to interact with each other. That and a high threshold for self-inflicted pain.

Francis, I am new here too. What a life huh?

great description, dan. thanks.

hahaha, the marriage of heaven and hell is the one I was thinking of in the 'hard to like' stakes but it does have its moments! and the whole barmy concept is worthy of some laudation.

this whole messageboard is built on different calibres. fire at will, don't bullet-point and try not to bore us ;)

Francis what:

are your top 5 Madonna signles?
is your opinion about The Bends vs. Kid A?
do you think of Vice magazine?

There is quite a variety of musical tastes here. Probably the only close to consensus record is Loveless, but there are plenty of people here who absolutely despise it. If you like metal check out the rolling metal thread, lots of great information in there.

Steely Dan is completely consensus here fwiw

xp no, we all decided on Salt-n-Pepa's "Push It" once, too.

Salt-n-Pepa's "Push It" - C/D?

haha i like steely dan.

1.madonna aingles? i dunno...holiday,burning up, and maybe anything that lenny kravitz produced ;)

2.i don't like radiohead.

3.i think vice magazine has good articles. (some pics of hot chicks)

ohh and vogue of course!

We stan for the Dan...

Vogue magazine has middling articles & beauty myth type chicks,if they're your thing.

Me lol'ing in the distant past

zs dude i have a req for u

I saw it! This has been a crazy week with relatives visiting, and now moving. But I am working on the meeting the "drunkenly" part of the equation tonight, so it should be coming soon.

did he hit 51 sb's already from pixies/radiohead fans?

hi francis! your name is my middle name.

― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 23:18 (Yesterday) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

but it's not his name!

They call me 'hell'
They call me 'Stacey'
They call me 'her'
They call me 'Jane'
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name

this board is treating me well already. thanks for the welcomes everyone.

francis, what do you play?

i play piano/keyboards and i sing as well.

is your stage name Francis?

haha no! absolutely not. My name is Luke, in fact.

If Dom wasn't banned your full name and band name would've been public knowledge last night.

how would he have found out? IP address?

hah god knows. Dom just was good at that kind of thing.

do you have a last.fm account?

nope

actually wait, i do but i havent been on it in ages.
http://www.last.fm/user/coco666

there's a last.fm thread you can post on. see if you have anything in common with people there

heh mort garson. I remember the time he topped the ilxor group weekly charts

garson's plantasia is one of my favorite records of all time.

Rolling last.fm thread 2009 no haters!

danka!

If Dom wasn't banned

When was Dom banned? I must have been away with the fairies when that happened. I recall he was one of the only regular posters in I Love WWE, but I mostly lurk on the Rolling Metal Thread so I don't know what else he could've been up to.

i'm not sure. I was unaware of it at the time until i saw some usernames mentioning it

5 march 2009

is there a crying eagle jpeg to go with that?

if not, why not?

the only thing i know, is that he had 2 accounts with an apostrophe in a different place so that he avoided 51 suggest bans by splitting them up. Then a mod noticed and totalled them up.

You gotta laugh at him thinking of that and getting away with it for so long.

I hope no one suggested banning me for, I dunno, not liking the second half of 'Call Me' by Throwing Muses or something. (Or have I just brought the wrath upon myself?)

sugbans have only happened to high-profile posters (dom, morbius, gabbers) and egreigious trolls (tuomas).

Although I've been happily blasting away at the small fry.

I'm trying to wrap my head around this layout here. definitely kinda weird.

One reason I continue posting here is that it's so much easier on the eye than most boards and I don't have to put up with all those animated Avatars and so forth.

I use old.css: Original ILX2 Live Stylesheet

Jimmy here. New since yesterday.Owwwwww.

jimmy how did you find us?

"awful"

jimmy, francis: here is the bar:

greetings, all

can you reach it?

Oh, I forget. Looking at some U.S. Maple reviews or something.

(xpost) First two posts on that thread foreshadow sooooo much...

Too true.

Ned's first post there both hopeful and poignantly hopeless, like a Nazi officer saying to Hitler, "Well, maybe we don't have to kill them..."

francis your connection to williamsboard bothers me

actually wait, i do but i havent been on it in ages.

It's really the first four that make it.

Williamboard is BCO but only for people who live in Williamsburg, not Philly.

VLV is described as bco's retarded younger brother

Stuyvesant Heights (ie Bed Stuy)

what a debut

Maybe this one will stick.

I was new in 09 too. I'm still white.

hi guys, im back. sorry for not keeping up on the thread and posting. i lost my password so i created a new account.

since we've last conversed, ive moved to germany and play music in two (new) projects, work as a freelancer (mostly english teaching and some radio stuff)!

i kinda miss nyc, but not really!

anyways! hello and glad to be back on board.

Hi there. So how's Deutschland in general these days.

I love when this thread gets revived and there's two new answers and the last one's by Ned and you know there's welcoming vibes to be read.

everything is pretty good actually. i dont live in berlin, which is good. my rent is ridiculously cheap and so is food. ich kann sehr gut deutsch sprechen already, only after being here for about a year.

how are you, ned?

what are your thoughts on a moanwave revival?

do you hang w/T0m Sm1th?

oh yea, i basically work three days a week. i have a practice space next door to my apartment which i pay 15 euros a month for. are there any other germans here, and or ex pats? is there a sub forum for those kinda people?

yes indeed, do we know each other sara?

we are facebook friends! didn't know you had ex-patted tho!

how are you, ned?

Relaxed, thanks!

hi ned wilkommen aus ilx

I'm just a simple unfrozen board poster.

hi francis

nice, sara! i think i have an inkling as to who you are!

ok ill let this thread die, unless other posters dont want to.

I was thinking of going to Germany, but will end up visiting family in Switzerland.

Either way, I have to brush up on my Deutsch!

hi francis

say hi to all, big or small

hope SourPatchCorpse drops by too
