The Lex on the Arcade Fire in Stylus today:

I'm still not wholly over Win Butler's singing -— indie busker alert, get one ability to hit a note -- but I'm somewhat stunned to find that I definitely see why others think them so special.

This predates silly ILX by decades.

Seriously, what I love about that The Lex quote, and this quote from Alex in NYC just a few minutes ago ...

Well, for a start, I guess the entirety of ILM is devoted to showcasing one eclecticism, but I was more interested in the random pairings than in anybody's conscious wide taste.

...is that the meme seems to have moved out of the "Look at me, I'm using the meme everyone finds so funny! Aren't I funny, too!" phase and into just normal conversation. That's awesome.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 19:42 (nineteen years ago) link

I hadn't even noticed that! I'd just read it originally as "...one's eclecticism".

"You're forgetting something: 9/11"

― Alex in TCBY (ex machina), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 20:17 (nineteen years ago) link

wait, maybe it was a typo :(

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 20:26 (nineteen years ago) link

haha I didn't realise I'd been quoted on this! I think that might have even been the first time I used that formulation. It's really easy to slip into an everyday context - it's actually an easier, more casual structure, and it's not exactly hard to understand if you haven't encountered the meme before.

― k/l (Ken L), Monday, 8 August 2005 15:08 (nineteen years ago) link
