Say something nice about another ILXor

y'all australians on ilx almost getting me over my biases

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

love lift us up with anyone on ilx

i always end up liking albums i thought i hated bcz of alfred.

I met Mr. Soto, once ca. '07. I was at the lowest point in my life emotionally, creatively, and career-wise, and he was a total gentleman and a kindly conversation even though I was an incoherent mess.

i just wanna say lagoon is good at social media on multiple platforms. good tweets, good faces, good hoops and weed posts here

Agree on the tweets. Except for that no zip hoodie propaganda.

you will suffer for your heresy

the pullover hoodie is no better than the quarter-zip mock

y'all are too kind

I don't know who most ilx posters are, nowadays.

But I really like Fizzles on I LOVE BOOKS! So tremendously well read and also unfailingly generous, polite, open, interesting, and self-critical to a fault.

i wouldve said to a fair degree rather than to a fault but otherwise i endorse this sentiment

Good guy to have a pint or two with too.

Ha was gonna say the same ^

of bitters rather than bitter iirc

calzino is the best, the very best <3

Hearty cosign

yes

So tremendously well read and also unfailingly generous, polite, open, interesting, and self-critical to a fault.

cosign on Fizzles. he never gives the impression that he understands his own worth.

Aimless always has soulful observations xo :)

ty, surm. I'm going to cast that in bronze and keep it with my baby shoes.
