Say something nice about another ILXor

always enjoy goole's deadpan incredulity at right wing nutsos even though I never click the link.

i missed this, thank you!

Thanks, mh! You're certainly among the ilxors I would fete itt were I not overwhelmed by the crippling certainty that someone among my faves would feel slighted by their accidental omission from my to-fete list.

otm. stings every time.

would love a drink with goole and Jonah in Jonah's car parked behind Target.

you know i think i saw Norm Coleman in the parking lot of my local target once

if you really want to dream

also great deals on quality bedding with designer looks inside, if that helps

in the Rolling Metal thread, when GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ makes a recommendation, I always know it's gonna be killer

I'm not on that thread but agree that he is a quality poster.

agreed

Trying to remember his old screen name , The Something of Gene. The Story of Gene? Bring Me The Head of Gene? It was an album title, as it turned out.

Also Yr Null Fame, back in the day? Have always enjoyed his posts.

el sabor de gene - good guy from the olden days of the DroneOn mailing list

DroneOn, wow haven't thought about that in a long time. Were they the ones with the Sound Of Confusion FTP? Received a massive education in psych/drone rock from them back in the day.

indiepop-l for lyfe

I feel like most threads this has turned into a hey you got taste ilmer.
But I'm going to give a straight shout out to my girl and fellow expat Sharon Penny for consistently making me LOL

I respect their children. Their children are incredibly able and devoted, and I think that says a lot about ILXors. I don’t agree with nearly anything else ILXors say or do, but I do respect that.

y'all australians on ilx almost getting me over my biases
Australia done me wrong in my youth

Nah... SoC FTP was a different person - never knew who that was. Have always wondered what happened to folks in the great mailing lists diaspora.

BTW, DroneOn is still in stasis at: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/droneon

Wat! And here I was thinking I was merrily feeding them, dammit! =)

xxxposts awww sunny ilu for reals

aussies 4 life

upper mississippi shakedown is the best - frequently otm, very thoughtful & reflective poster, good-humored and has good music taste

awww DroneOn

I miss the late 90s mailing list era: DroneOn, hyperreal lists (idm, 313, ambient), pure-impure...

Also I love all of you, obv.

btw I think I only ever lurked on any of the above except for maybe 2 not very interesting posts on one of them so no, you don't remember me from those days, but if you posted to or even just read those lists then hi, missed you, hope you're doing ok

shakedown's all right

shakedown was a hero on that crazy Doors thread last year

#strangedaysmono

<3 shakedown

he's got his own thread now y'all Sh@kedown Street

Ha, was resisting urge to post that as it seemed to have died a quick death.

I've been loving the hell out of a recharged k3vin k in the political threads.

I've loved reading both k3vin and your own posts (missed your good mornings! when you didn't post them!).

Also, ShariVari. Would love to pick his brain over some borscht some day.

Might not sound like a compliment but for me Alfred is the least predictable regular poster in terms of opinions.

lol

how so?

In this forum since we don't have avatars it takes me longer to assemble an idea of who each poster is and what they're like. There are lots of posters I still get mixed up. Most of those "(name) in (place)" posters are just jumbled together for me.
I've seen a lot of your opinions on films and music but I still haven't figured out what your favourite types of things are or what you're likely to say.

i mean, youd think these two pieces of info would actually help?

i dunno man there seems to be an inordinate number of people living in alex

soto will like good film and bad music ;)

Jim In Vancouver is easier for me to remember than the Alex and Josh posters.

oh this is the nice things thread

soto is a voice of clarity on popular culture threads and his film criticism is up there with anyone on ilx's

changing my name to "darragh in usa" but it'll take a few weeks for the local court to approve my new nomenclature

his film criticism is up there with anyone on ilx's

what is this golf clap nonsense, try again

yeah that was almost damning with faint praise
alfred can and does write professional film criticism and does so independently here without compensation

i liked "up there with anyone on ilx's", i felt briefly included as a player

i guess that's my "say something nice abt imago" :D

lol now there's a golf clap :P

soto's film criticism perhaps falls short of jonathan rosenbaum's but i would trust his opinion over more or less any other film writer on earth

that do

honestly, both of the prominent "al"s on here are very good writers, i just don't always agree with some dude
i may be forgetting other als
