Was this my first post to ILM/E?

I always hate it when a thread is brought back to life and I find I've contributed some sappy sentence or other that I now totally disagree w/.

http://ilx.p3r.net/thread.php?msgid=4593600

Yeah I had one when I was 11 or 12 where I was onstage with Teenage Fanclub playing rhythm guitar and singing backup on "The Concept". Seriously. It was like some big outdoor concert and we got through the song, no problem.

overlooked 90's groups

Levitation a few have already mentioned (I could never understand why the rock press slagged them off so much)
No one's mentioned Crow - seminally cool Aust band who were feted by the likes of Pavement and then seemed to disappear. "Railhead" was a fucking ace single.
And was I the only person in the universe who loved Moonshake?
-- Trayce (trac...), February 8th, 2003 10:43 AM. (trayce)

I then started a thread called something like "you know you're getting old when..." about how I was bored with new bands. Then I kind of gave up on ILM.

Yes, there is a whole genre of smallgoods cartoons in this vein. It could be described, roughly, as "Animals who love to be eaten".

It was in the context of a thread about animals who advertise themselves as foodstuffs: for example hens holding drumsticks and going going 'bukh bukh! I just love the taste of Red Rooster chicken!'

I remember it as if it were only yesterday

Now I cant be arsed.

(NB this is not entirely true)

And these are from my first day on ILE:

long hair on boys: classic or dud
What is something that sets you off?
There is a woman from the marketing department currently in my shower.
This is the thread where everyone says how they are doing today...

Another Pachelbel rip-off: "All Together Now," by the Farm. It's ridiculous how blatant it is.

(which is odd because I could've sworn my first post was P&J-related; actually, it was my second that was)

ILE:

(March 10, 2003)

Stereolab to thread!

Window Water Baby Moving is the only Brakhage film I've seen -- and I agree, it's amazing.

on Jacques Tati/Play Time

classical composers that would've made good pop songwriters.

one of the first threads i started, i think.

For the record, this is the first post I made to ILE, using the e-mail address of the individual who helped me set up this account in the first place:

What kinds of menstruation/PMS problems are you having? There are different diagnoses that can be had depending on the symptoms you may be experiencing at this time.

I had severe menstrual/PMS problems for about three years before I got some help, and ever since then they've died down significantly. On occasion I will experience what I experienced before, but that's only very occasionally and is too rare for me to complain about.

Erm, in other words -- see a gynecologist or two or twenty before you self-treat. If your gynecologist won't or can't help, then see an endocrinologist -- believe it or not, the two specialities have more in common than you may think. If you still think they're talking bollocks, then self-treat.

Good luck!!

-- Dee the Lurker (admi...), April 8th, 2003.

Yeah, sounds notably more serious than most of my current offerings.

This was what I first posted to ILM, again using the e-mail address of the individual who set me up with this account:

Joan Jett vs Pat Benatar -- Joan Jett.
"Cherry Bomb" (the JJ & the Blackhearts version) alone pushes Joan Jett over the edge.

Samantha Fox vs Lita Ford -- Lita Ford.
How can you compare Lita to a Page Three Girl? (Also, how weird was it that Fox co-hosted a Brits with MICK FLEETWOOD, of all people?)

-- Dee the Lurker (admi...), April 3rd, 2003.

*roars with laughter* I guess this was during the time period when I was actually being SUCCESSFUL with straying away from my fangirlishness.

*sighs*

jaymc -- I guess I still sorta feel like one of the new kids. Mostly because of the large amount of people here who've been here since practically the beginning. But that's an interesting thing to think about, being a veteran of this here thing. "Nearly a year and a half" -- wow. Doesn't seem that long ago.

Painfully spot on. Likewise, I shan't be bothered with effort nowadays -- unless it's to do with the Simpsons, in which case to keep up with and maintain credibility among all the other dorks here, I make sure I've got a certain quotation correct.

Classic Or Dud: Laurie Anderson's "O Superman"

Then I left the ILM world for a while, returning about a year ago - not suprisingly when I started at my internet-abusing-friendly job. This was my first ever 'proper' post under my own name:

From: Pure Pop for Now People
Anything off the 'Alaska Days' album by Poole
-- Rob Bolton (i_like_my...), September 22nd, 2003.

I wasn't exactly riding into town guns-a-blazing, was I? Expecting to be ignored or berated, I actually had a response from the almighty Ned, who obviously inspired enough confidence in me to start my own thread later that day:
Songs with calendar months in the title... help?
I never did make that CD.

Then I popped up on a thread about hip hop and one where I defended John Denver. Then I strated a thread which buried my ILM-posting fear because it seemed to go down well:
Filing your music alphabetically - C/D?

From "Are you listening to that crap again ?"

So where is this Glasshouse place, then? I'm a bit of a rookie Londoner... May have to check out that Aislers Set show as well...
-- Rob Bolton (i_like_my...), October 16th, 2003.

Then it was all downhill from there. To wit:

I see a lot of anti-tuckers here and it disturbs me. I admit in my younger days I was a firm anti-tucker for everything, but now that I dress a little nicer, there are certain times when tucking not only looks better, but it is essential. 'Dress' buttoned shirts mostly look stupid untucked. Still, there is some variation:
SHIRTS:
Dress shirts with or without suit and nice pants - TUCK
Any buttoned shirt with jeans or casual pants: UNTUCK
Fitted casual shirts - UNTUCK
Boxed/Kramer shirts (with flat bottom) - UNTUCK

Anything else I prefer untucked, except plain, tight white t-shirts, which look good tucked. Granted, this assumed a relatively svelte body type...

It's all about the belt, people.

-- Rob Bolton (i_like_my...), October 29th, 2003

How easy is it to hack a no-s site anyway? Hasn't it been talked about here long enough now that any lurking techy-crook will have had the chance to set up whatever it is they need to do to start harvesting everyone's card details?

(hello by the way. I'm jim. Colette's friend. Some of you have met me IRL before).

Rob was the first person to say hello to me. Aw.

"FOUR YEARS"

I love myself

But these are all good too, from the second day of ILE:
Fake breasts: Classic or dud?
I Can't Believe I Ever Did That
A Personal Vendetta (indulge me) (I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT IN THIS STORY)
I love having my dog lick peanut butter off my balls
peppermint tea

All right, so what bad movies do y'all like? ;-)

Is it just me that I don't mind either the passage of time or the amount spent here?

Very perfectly so.

The worst/best piano "groaner" (e.g. Jarret, Gould, Palmieri) is certainly Oscar Peterson.
-- dorkangle (lyriclas...), March 1st, 2002.

I must have lurked around a long time before contributing anything, because I remember threads a lot older than that.

1st 2 albums are dead good - bonus points to person mentioning Austerity/Girl One! - and 'Almost Medieval','Crow & A Baby' and 'WXJL Tonight'are all wonderful (try to imagine the last even EXISTING without synths to handle that shimmering wall of sound)... but I always found their general comic-shop grin and facetiousness a bit grating. My absolute favourite stuff was the 'Dignity Of Labour' EP in '79: but it's quite atypical of their output - alot more experimental & abstract mainly, Marsh/Ware pushing it.
I despised what they turned into when they split in 2, and Oakey recruited the Dancing Girls....

(But then by that time the 'New Romantics' had hijacked and f**ked up synths in music anyway - between ex-punk guitar playing turncoats like Numan refashioning themselves into 'Mr Synthesiser', and a bunch of bored London schmoozers dressing up in Great-Granny's clothes and Mummy's make-up to go out bitching all night and thus begin the great Clubbing To Death of pop culture, us late-70's electronicos never stood a chance....not that I'm still bitter about it, oh no. Where's me tablets.....)

(PS - Has anyone else heard the early HL song 'Year Of The Jetpacks'(sic?)?)

To ILE: August 9th 2002

on "Miming puntuation in speech S/D" thread:

I wish there was a way of miming those 'ellipses'(?) things, because I use them all the time.....
Maybe drifting away a few steps at the end of the sentence and droning the last word out would do iiiiiiiiit.....

on "dude, where's my cheese?" thread:

A lot of the population of Edinburgh's New Town, especially the student population, should be forced to read 'Self-Hindrance' books instead.
It would be so perfectly 'horrid' for them.

2 & 1/4 years , but i still feel like a newbie compared to the ILX Elder Gods...

I've just realised that on Saturday it will be the 10th anniversary of my first post to ILX. I guess Gareth's anniversary is around now too.
