Say something nice about another ILXor

^^^

yep

sometimes i think all the prog-bashing is just a trick "the industry" plays on unsuspecting music snobs to keep prog fresh for musical plunder

I feel bad for saying something about c21m50nh3x460n that may have come across as sneery (though it wasn't meant as such) and would like to say for the record that I like c21m50nh3x460n and enjoy his ilx posts.

roxy is the all-time best ilx threadstarter.

otm

Beyond dispute

ilx has tons of great posters!

Why thank you all, I love you too!

Without StanM there wouldn't have been a meme to be kept alive

Dunno what you're learning from me but I'm happy to be useful :)

I feel stupid for only now noticing within the last few months how essential a poster katherine is

thanks, al!

I always enjoy qualmsley's posts. NickB cracks me up online and is a great fella, has excellent music taste and knowledge and judging by the couple of times I've met him is a very nice fella irl.

Always admire new noodle vague on politics threads and music threads.

Also I am drunk on a train. Much love to all you ilxors really hic xxxxxxx

ha i'm getting irritated by the sound of my own posts lately so thanks

your posts have been consistently awesome, honest, and smart

yas, ive had to slow down my typical skim reading when im like oh noodle vague did this

in orbit is irl fun, incisive, damn stylish (self AND home interiors), and majorly otm!

You say the nicest things! I'm so glad you got home finally with no more airport torture.

lol "stylish," you were here on the coldest day in like 30 years, who would even know what style was under the 17 layers? I didn't even wash my hair the whole time you were here.

your entire apartment is stylish, and layers hide not a stylish person with her enviable haircut! Also, teach me how to wear pins.

I think we all love ZS fr conferencecall.biz, but I also have to give him probs for his wonderful music, which postrocks my socks.

PROPS not probs, sheesh.

i've never heard his jams! on the record as a fan of his posts tho

ZS is a human magical-Mary-Poppins-carpetbag of talent

ryan and schlump go back and forth is the best thing

the back and forth of agreeable film nerds! ;) Thanks

indeed!

otm

i am glad the cast of characters toasting this indelible relationship are other Major Players in its unfolding
feel like Ryan & I need something juicy to disagree about hysterically

I keep wanting to OTM emil.y lately but I worry it'll get repetitive and crepey so I'll just do it once here. emil.y, you are generally OTM.

OTM

TOTES

Undeniable.

Turns out imago is a lovely man who put up with my stream-of-blether about barth, accents, scott walker, daniel kitson, beer, daisies, gass, david thomson and paul anderson. V glad to meet meet ya L

Should warn everybody tho that I introduced him to elkin's famous defence of maximalism

My editor at Random House, Joe Fox, used to tell me, “Stanley, less is more.” He wanted to strike—oh, he had a marvelous eye for the “good” stuff—and that’s what he wanted to strike. I had to fight him tooth and nail in the better restaurants to maintain excess because I don’t believe that less is more. I believe that more is more. I believe that less is less, fat fat, thin thin and enough is enough. There’s a famous exchange between Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe in which Fitzgerald criticizes Wolfe for one of his novels. Fitzgerald tells him that Flaubert believed in the mot précis and that there are two kinds of writers—the putter-inners and the taker-outers. Wolfe, who probably was not as good a writer as Fitzgerald but evidently wrote a better letter, said, “Flaubert me no Flauberts. Shakespeare was a putter-inner, Melville was a putter-inner.”* I can’t remember who else was a putter-inner, but I’d rather be a putter-inner than a taker-outer.

so if he doubles down on his LJness u can all blame me ;-)

ban all pop music; stop watching television everyone, you're all thiiiiick

wins is a fine, fine fella & a magnificent conversationalist/drinking-slash-dining partner; also, he doesn't leave a mess but does leave presents in the shape of William Gass books, which on first glance appear very promising indeed. all in all thoroughly recommended as a houseguest.

& for my part I forced an episode of Xavier: Renegade Angel on him*, so you know who to blame when his wordplay finally attains a total synthesis of ego/id counterpoint

*that he'd already seen. obviously it's the best TV show

That sure sounds like a thorough visit!
