Say something nice about another ILXor

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.

S1ocki, is your movie being distributed outside of Canada/USA? Will it make it to the Antipodes?

here's hoping! bug your local documentary distributor!

going to get on that asap

I like that Momus thing. I think it's funny.

as if anyone making music today could even ATTEMPT to make a record like steve mcqueen! hah! good luck, buddy. you are way better off with yer supir mario farts.

destroyer are p prefab-ish, aren't they?

ok, i'll bite.
i cant deny, i'm fascinated.
whats the movie s1ocki ?
if you'd rather say privately then hit the relevant buttons ...
and yes, the momus thing is ... well, it's momus.

I just checked and I'm pleasantly surprised, I actually have Steve McQueen. I didn't think I did!

i guess so? i'm not a fan. they/he are/is attempting the 80's glossypop thing, i guess. in a retro way. don't know how successful it is. well, i have opinions about how successful it is, but i will leave it up to others who can sit through an entire album of the stuff to truly judge.

The movie is The Fruit Hunters

your movie looks rad, lobbying my local documentariat

thanks dude.

we got held over for another week, yay

Oh yay :)

BY POPULAR DEMAND!

Just remembered -- I had Crabbits' comic strip with the "hey, it's your cousin -- Larry P-Orridge!" line in it on my computer desktop for a few months so I could keep rereading it due to its complete hilarity

wait, what?

there are subtle nuances in every single one of those EXCELSIORS, I'll have you LOL

omg

How had I missed that.

God, where have you guys been. Jeez.

The Phantom Zone.

xyzzzz__, for honouring the fire.

:)

(I saw your revival of the Milton Babbitt thread - gd work)

If people I know were able to use self-deprecating humor with a light touch like darraghmac is skilled at, my life would be even more full of laughter.

^posts that read like they've been copied out of a greeting card

I'll disguise my sourcing better next time

from the darraghmac line of Hallmark greeting cards

i like 乒乓 because it seems like our posts are always close to each other. this person is also nice to me. 乒乓 is nice.

aw, ty

*posts closely to you*

:P

that was a mom post.

is boy_slayer catpig's account?

i like mh because this person cares deeply about the integrity of posts to ilx, and presumably, cleans socks.

(the next time someone raises sock allegations i'm going to 'i must protest' to request my ip address or something, or someone else can do it for me before i get there.)
