Tim F is God

Tim F A+

Tim Fail.

"He's the voice of a new generation!"

One of my best memories involving Tim is arriving in Melbourne, meeting up with him the following day prior to a FAP with other ILXors and getting into an in depth discussion of Mya's "Case of the Ex."

oh ned you scoundrel

Well yes

shoot, we're all out of medals

can't believe you guys like tim f. so much. you guys have nothing in common with him. he's good looking and smart and writes really well. hahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahhhhhhahahaaa!!!!

oh but wait i meant to say i met a really nice ilx dude today. he lives in st. louis. came into the store. i'm already blanking on his ilx name. benelux...benedict...benihana...benelec? anyway he's really nice. and he bought records which means he's the ilxor of the month!

bentelec iirc, posts on the soccer & Fall threads, clearly a stand-up fella

upper mississippi sh@kedown seems like a good bro

well yeah, he's the h3lg, nobody fucks with the h3lg.

ums is the dude

he also did the classic "you don't know me...i've been following you..." thing which is my favorite thing! haha! he didn't look that scary...

thx y'all that was very nice to hear on this gloomy day :)

u r good ppl, dude

yep

yeah no doubt

it's friday so you are all great and otm.

I like Scott bcuz he seems like a good dad and knows about Ernie Kovacs.

^ seconded. Also because of his vast record knowledge and the amazing deals one can find in his amazing record store.

i don't know about the good dad part. i'm just waiting for school to start again in the fall. i'm counting down the days.

Aw, thanks Scott! Came here to post that you were super nice IRL, cosign on excellent deals at excellent store!

scott what is your store called? it's in philly, correct? i live sort of/not really close to philly.

A little further off...John Doe Jr. in Greenfield, MA. Pioneer Valley def. worth the trip, though!

interesting. i broke up with my boston-based gf so it might be a while until i get up there again, but i'll keep it in mind. thanks.

I would buy all of Scott's records.

scott, you once called me a brat and i'll never forgive you.

i wanted to say something about amateurist before but my excuse was that i was posting on my phone. i've made comments to him on other threads that i think he took as sarcasm, but we don't share the same tastes and we don't move in the same ilxor circles and i'm mostly reading him and not responding to him in any concrete way. i've been reading ilx for ten, eleven years now, i guess, and he's a guy who i've always paid attention to because: i like his honesty, his sensitivity, his emotional unguardedness. among his posts there are thumbnail pictures of his life that seem a bit vague, maybe, if read in isolation but reward close reading and stalkerish tracking of his life as viewed through ilx.

scott what is your store called? it's in philly, correct?

if only!

i used to have a store in philly! in the 90's. it was called Redrum.

cool name. too bad it's not there anymore, i would def try to take a day trip.

in terms of nice things to say about another ilxor, i have noticed that sarahell is hilarious

I can personally attest to this as well. One time she sent me a decoy "emergency text" to get me out of a bad date and it was something like "Omg rhonda has a major cat poop problem, you need to help rhmda!" which made me laugh way too hard to pretend that I'd just received an actual emergency text but it did make the awful date a bit better.

that's awesome, i'm sure she is a really cool person to know irl. she was really funny in the "ilx's most hated things" thread and also in the ask markers thread (i think) where she posted a stock image of a graph which she said proved that krispy creme donuts were scientifically and objectively better than dunkin donuts. that kind of thing is always funny to me.

ward fowler is a smart guy and i always look forward to his posts (espec about comics).

I didn't read this whole thread...

anyway, La Lechera has charming enthusiasm about weird shit, Abbott is generally cool, Vegemite is always kind and likes RuPaul's Drag Race, Dayo has good taste in junk food, Homosexual II is really pretty and kind of a badass, Dan Perry is comfortingly predictable in his juvenile sense of humor, Spectrum has kept the depression thread alive & looked pretty cute on the WDYLL thread he posted on, & Aimless seems like a good person

Stevie D(eux) seems straight-up fun, I like elmo on the masculinity thread & contender has a lot of good posts despite being slightly maddening on the HIV thread

Dan Perry is comfortingly predictable in his juvenile sense of humor.

lol awesome truth bomb right here. DP is the best.

emilys otm. homosexual II is smokin' hot and has some interesting stories, seems to have a certain kind of equanimity too and often v funny. i associate her with nicole, enbb and carl agatha, who are also smart and often hilarious people. jordan s, reverend, some dude, DJP posts/threads about r&b/hip-hop are engaging, enlightening and consistently lolworthy, especially in the deployment of gifs. dayo also a gif master. elmo always has intelligent things to say in the style thread, among others, and i admire his taste and acuity. i'm another who has learned a lot from alfred, and i appreciate his devilish wit. dmac also very quick-witted, makes me envious. slocki and eric h make me laugh a lot but also very knowledgeable about movies. also, scott, you are awesome.

Pretty much the best group of ladies to be associated with ever imo.
