What happened to that post where you looked up "ebert" on google images and the first thing that popped up was a picture of a stripper with bert and ernie dolls seemingly going down on her?

There was a thread on "music giganticism" that I can never find, must be de-indexed.

Thanks Jaq, how did you do that?!? I've been using the search thing and getting nothing.

I can't find the thread on ILM about dj sets defining the "sound" of 2005. nathan fake and mandy were mentioned in there. I can't think of other keywords right now. can someone help?

Haha! One of Jon's links now says "HOW DO I FORBADE HOTLINKING" :D

um, the thread where everyone swapped arts projects, like the good old indiepop tape swap (anyone?) but with arts and crafty things. might've been a jel thread.

thread titled something like "songs with little bits of other songs in there"

basically a thread for songs that interpolate other parts of songs

― budo jeru, Monday, 24 March 2025 22:51 (ten months ago)

Songs that have brief musical references to other tunes in there

Hey! Someone posted an article (maybe a Substack?) about how films/TV shows never address jobs and money. There was perhaps a clever way of talking about this - "where's the income?" or something like that. Ok way more clever than that but this was late last year. It was a terrific piece about how TV/films never talk about HOW the characters have the financial wherewithal to do whatever we see them do. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

― Kevin John Bozelka, Tuesday, 25 March 2025 05:26 (ten months ago)

I think it was related to the show "Friends"?

― Hedwig and the Angry Ents (sleeve), Tuesday, 25 March 2025 06:37 (ten months ago)

we do see all their jobs tbf its just not clear how that allows them to live and look like millionaires

Is there a "covers you wish existed" thread on ILM? Because I want to go there and say I wish the Beach Boys had covered the Dead's "Cumberland Blues" sometime during the 70s. The harmonies on the original are strugglin'.

Somewhat relevant quote from Robert Hunter:

“The best compliment I ever had on a lyric was from an old guy who'd worked at the Cumberland mine. He said, 'I wonder what the guy who wrote this song would've thought if he'd ever known something like the Grateful Dead was gonna do it.'"

I’ve been trying to find an exchange from many years ago where former ilm gadfly, pipecock, following something stirmonster’s wrote, said something like “no one knows/has every good techno record” and ronan/local garda replied saying something like “he actually might!”

I remember thinking the same thing and now remember it as a funny moment that speaks to stirmonster’s presence here.

is there a thread for smart homes?

― imperial frfr (Steve Shasta), Monday, 28 July 2025 17:22 (six months ago)

a thread about female-led bands with male vocalists? i think was the concept. or something quite close to that

― budo jeru, Thursday, 31 July 2025 16:12 (six months ago)

what is a female-led band?

― Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Friday, 1 August 2025 17:21 (six months ago)

some bands have band leaders, and some band leaders are women

ok so that thread has like 5 posts on it, explaining why i might have trouble thinking of a single example of "female-led bands with male vocals"

― Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Wednesday, 6 August 2025 16:23 (six months ago)

yeah. you would think there'd be more examples, but it definitely has stumped me

― budo jeru, Wednesday, 6 August 2025 16:58 (six months ago)

The Cramps maybe?

― Kim Kimberly, Wednesday, 6 August 2025 17:12 (six months ago)

i couldn't think of any examples, so i wasn't really expecting an avalanche. women haven't been empowered enough in the music industry to be bandleaders on a wide scale, much less with male vocalists. i can think of a handful jazz/out-music bandleaders who are women but they are mostly instrumental or also the singer so no male vocalist to boast. (Mary Halvorson, Meg Baird, Nicole Mitchell, Olivia Block come to mind)

― Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Wednesday, 6 August 2025 20:22 (six months ago)

is there a thread for smart homes?

The smart ones don't post here

within the last year or so somebody, maybe imago, posted a bandcamp link to a record that was some kind of 23-song (maybe not exactly) bedroom power pop thing, lots of short songs, lofi sound, does this ring a bell to anyone?? i meant to bookmark it to return but the artist name and virtually everything else has disappeared from my brain

There are a few "internet addiction" threads, this one touches on that sort of thing.

― Kim Kimberly, Monday, 29 December 2025 20:29 (one month ago)

But a thread originating in 2025 would probably be welcome.

― Kim Kimberly, Monday, 29 December 2025 20:31 (one month ago)

i think so too, i will see if anybody else expresses interest

― budo jeru, Monday, 29 December 2025 23:29 (one month ago)

I'd read it

This thread started by treeship often drifted into discussion of phone/screen addiction and limiting their use. Smartphones: C or D?

― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Monday, 29 December 2025 23:39 (one month ago)

there's some good stuff on that thread. would prefer to start a new one though because i'm not interested in debating whether smart phones are good or not, just want a thread for people who are trying to be on their devices less. a lot of ppl are in extreme denial about this so i think it's best to be cordoned off somewhat

― budo jeru, Tuesday, 30 December 2025 15:39 (one month ago)
