The 'techno' thread is really interesting too.

"I would say you have a very limited approach."
"Btw. dancing sucks. Good music should be enjoyed sitting, actively listening to it." (A top comment to make on a thread about dance music.)
but surely all the pop music now is electronic?"Not the truly good pop music. Coldplay aren't electronic, Travis aren't electronic. Oasis aren't electronic. Crowded House weren't electronic."
But (and this is me again) the weirdest thing about that thread is how many people on it have this really tight aesthetic, and they are butting up against one another with no hope of real communication. Geir is the most bizarre and extreme example, but Ronan has his only strict and prescriptive aesthetic. I love Ronan's writing when he is enthusing about records he loves, but this is less fun.

The Bang! thread I think is of limited interest to a) people who haven't read Bang! a) people who aren't too fussed about in-print music writing c) people who a soul d) people who think Popular is the greatest TV program in the world that I ever just watched ('cos it is!).
(Martin, I'll root about in the archives and post a link here to one or two of my favourite old threads that need reviving. Pinefox's Smiths one for example.)

That's it! The only ism I want to come out of your mouths is jism. Overacademic Bullshit Must Die. has mutated pretty fast (& there's some really good stuff near the bottom, esp. the Kogan essay which would be right up yr alley, Martin.

i started the pox disco thread because i don't know very much about disco,and would like to know morei'm sorry if that exasperates you,but i wasn't going to pretend that i know about something if i don't,and since i know there are lots of people on ilm who do know a lot about it i though it'd be a good place to get some recommendations...

I don't 'dig enough' either bcz i don't have the time but I read the titles and I've been around long enough to know what is 'good' for me and what isn't. I'm sure you can do the same.
I see yr point abt threads being 'circular' but sometimes you can learn something new on those bcz new ppl come in all the time etc.
don't click on the calum ones tho'.

Thanks for the film/music crit pointer, Cozen. I've just read through the whole wonderful thread, and posted something that I think has some vague relevance (except it's mostly about comics, sadly). Lots of ILM's best and brightest on strong form. I miss Josh. Not got round to the 'jism' one yet, but I will.
― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 24 May 2003 19:55 (twenty-two years ago)
perhaps you should start a more specific disco thread,there are lots of people on ilm who know a lot about it(as you can see from the thread),i'm just not one of them
