Say something nice about another ILXor

<3 <3 <3

I forgot about this thread! I had thought this morning that if I could be alerted any time scott started a thread, my life would be even better. Guy just really knows how to put things in perspective.

seward can do no wrong on this earth.

otm

yeah, tell my wife that. #rayromano

skot it was cool to meet you guys, i'm sorry we couldn't hang out more. we'll stop in again the next time we need to buy a giant penguin from wilson's, or maybe sooner

jon/via/chi is fucking awesome.

jjjusten has an iron stomach and the best goofy dog

jon/via/chi is a funny guy

nah actually i'm pretty fucking lame and worthless, but hey. i just wanted to see my name itt since it usually only comes wrt clusterfucks.

I like when j/v/c talks about buildings and the business inherent

I've been waiting for someone to think of me when they pick up some sweetened condensed milk but it has yet to happen afaik.

i don't buy sweetened condensed milk very often, but i have thought of you while passing through that aisle, if that helps

x-post - I think of you ever time I see that stuff what are you even talking about lady?

Also, yes, it was awesome to meet Scott (and Maria and Rufus!). :D

Wait not Rufus - Cyrus!

But I hope to meet Rufus one day too.

we all aspire

whenever I listen to June tabor or Shirley Collins I remember la lechera's impeccable taste in music

hah i thought of la lechera just yesterday when i saw a second-hand copy of The Wicker Tree on DVD

I thought of LL when I was watching Capturing the Friedmans & Debbie Nathan started talking baout things

la lechera drove out of her way to jump-start my car this past weekend, it was very very awesome. and she is cool in general, even without jump-starting my car. i hope to meet jon/via/chi someday.

j/v/c is good ppl

That's one of those friend errands that means so much because it's just the help you need.

This response is overwhelming. I was kidding! You can't avoid la lechera at the supermarket. :)

I basically have no idea who La Lechera is, but an excellent picture is forming!

Ha xp

lol I never *got* that grocery store thing til just now

i r slow :)

I was so drunk the last time I met J/V/C. He didn't steal my wallet. I respect that.

lagoon, omar little, s1ocki, hurting 2 and veggrrl crack me up. I often enjoy reading posts by amateurist, mh and schlump. james morrison, alfred, aimless and scott seward are always interesting in ilb. wld hang with enbb, dog latin, homosexual ii, la lechera, carl agatha and jesse. love latter pair in annoying co-worker thread. p sure i'm forgetting mostly everyone but i'm wary of being sycophantic/disingenuously equitable. I like a lot of other people on here, too

trayce also funny and relatable in co-worker thread. jordan s makes me lol, elvis telecom's posts are often knowledgeable and interesting. gd there are too many of you

anything milton parker or jon lewis endorse immediately goes to the to-listen pile

also anytime i want to know something abt a techno release i haven't heard i just search thru the ilx archives for anything the late great has said abt it

What is nice: scott seward's singular posting style and videos of family music-making

I like reading Ned Raggett's old posts, when he'd use words like "verily" (I don't actually know if he used that word, but words like it)

Lots of people here inspire me to post better, live better

I like Carmody's writing.

verily, Mr. Raggett has a distinguised vocabulary

disguised as distinguished

indeed

"What is nice: scott seward's singular posting style and videos of family music-making"

:)

Huge fan of Hunt3r, horseshoe and Le Coq.

scott that video is a perfect companion piece to the one linked in the op of this thread:

do you want to have kids?

Some sort of vocabulary to be sure (I might not post as much using said vocab if only due to a general circumspection these days on old/previously fought critical wars). Thanks to all.

ilx posts circa 2001 read like characters from a lewis carroll story

*flounces off*

;-)

I'm always fascinated by the fact that we never know where Posterity will come a-knocking.

Picture a quiet street in the north of England, sometime in the mid- 80s. Posterity, who looks a lot like The Reaper but carries a butterfly net instead of a scythe, knocks on the door of a detached house.

Paddy McAloon opens it. 'I am Posterity, and I've come for the pop of the 80s!' says Posterity in a grand voice.

'Ah, I've been expecting you,' says Paddy, and drops into the net a couple of pristine vinyl copies of Prefab Sprout's 'Swoon' and 'Steve McQueen'.

Posterity flings them aside angrily and marches into the lounge, where Paddy's 8 year old nephew is playing Arkanoid, filling the room with flurries of scuzzy blippy sound. Posterity grabs an armful of datasettes.

'Oi!' chorus Paddy and his nephew, 'that's not the pop of the 80s!'

'It is now,' cackles Posterity. Snubbing Paddy's 1000cc Triumph, he makes his escape on a poorly-pixelated BMX bike.
