Jason Connery.

A "Reserve Prince" is like a Prince's understudy. D'oh.

I've been on national television three times. Does that count?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 13 September 2002 19:22 (twenty-three years ago)

I haven't heard of any of these people. Except Dan Perry. I guess that makes him the most famous person here.

How do you measure fame? I've discovered I'm infamous.

― kate, Friday, 13 September 2002 19:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Everyone I know on ILX knows Dan Perry. QED.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 13 September 2002 19:29 (twenty-three years ago)

I have been on national TV once, so I'm one third as famous as Dan. Er.

(More) famous people to the thread.

Saul Williams?

― Nate Patrin, Friday, 13 September 2002 21:15 (twenty-three years ago)

I have just sent email to President Bush asking him to skim over our politics threads. President Bush is a man of the people and surely will read this email personally. Thus: President Bush.

You're rubbish.

JUst because he's the greatest living Englishman doesnt make him famous!!

I KNEW I SAW YOU ON ELIMIDATE!

Katie G!

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 13 September 2002 23:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Sarah and I were just fondly speculating about Ktee getting onto Top Of The Pops. It would be the grebtest thing ever! Unless they were farmers and refused to do it.

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 13 September 2002 23:11 (twenty-three years ago)

What do you mean "they"? Have you not heard her solo single?

And it should also be our rockist duty to make the greatest living Englishman also the most famous. Makeover + Choreography + Boob tube = We rule the world.

― Graham (graham), Friday, 13 September 2002 23:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Nabisco, don't bother send the president any e-mail. I sent him some several months ago and he didn't do what I told him to do.

― DeRayMi, Friday, 13 September 2002 23:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Momis?

Faustino Asprilla?

― robin carmody (robin carmody), Saturday, 14 September 2002 17:14 (twenty-three years ago)

ok no, but could you imagine how ace it would be if he was?

― gareth (gareth), Saturday, 14 September 2002 17:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, that feller out of Hundred Reasons has been on TOTP at least twice. Though the fact that he probably got here by googling his own band name takes the sheen off a little.

Oh, and her out of Scarlet. Whatever her name was.

― Mr Swygart (mrswygart), Saturday, 14 September 2002 17:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Jimmy Smits!

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 15 September 2002 09:04 (twenty-three years ago)

i think since many musicians discussed on ilm can easily and probably often do read this forum we should consider being more polite about any artist.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, etc.

(is now when we reveal that the guy from jurrasic five didn't really post?)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 15 September 2002 15:34 (twenty-three years ago)

You could have at least impersonated one of the DJs, for fuxxake...

i heard that ira kaplan has posted here, but i don't know it for a bankable fact.

can't say why but my admiration for monsieur pinefox is growing.

― mike (ro)bott, Sunday, 15 September 2002 22:47 (twenty-three years ago)

fifteen years pass...

According to the trigger warning thread world-famous writer Alex Pareene used to post to ILX. I didn't know that. That's awesome. So that makes Pareene, Ta-nehisi Coates, Max Read, Jordan Sargent, and the dude for the Mountain Goats whose name eludes me for the moment. Wonder why they all left ILX for good. Also: how did ILX get so damn popular with the journalism crowd??

― Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 29 March 2018 10:52 (seven years ago)

Journalists are famous people?

― Buff Jeckley (Tom D.), Thursday, 29 March 2018 11:15 (seven years ago)

There are many current writers on the river wolf/max spectrum of noteriety that still post here - like, today - my good dudes

― YouTube_-_funy_cats.flv (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Thursday, 29 March 2018 11:31 (seven years ago)

Also like ILM was music writer nerd hangout broad in 2000

― YouTube_-_funy_cats.flv (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Thursday, 29 March 2018 11:31 (seven years ago)

Huh I must have missed TNC having been an ilxorbot.

― Conic section rebellion 44 (in orbit), Thursday, 29 March 2018 13:36 (seven years ago)

― sir chesley bonestell, qc (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 29 March 2018 13:52 (seven years ago)

Can't believe people still haven't figured out that I'm actually Rip Taylor.

― Arthur Pizzarelli AKA The Peetz (Old Lunch), Thursday, 29 March 2018 13:57 (seven years ago)

At least one of those people Snrub mentions has hardly left ILX for good.

― sir chesley bonestell, qc (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 29 March 2018 14:27 (seven years ago)

wow pretty crazy that TNC was an ILE member! on one hand im curious to see some old conversations but on another hand i've seen a few old threads and yeeeeeaaahh..... also don't feel like stalking someone for decades-old posts.

ILX get so damn popular with the journalism crowd??

no idea but i first found it through music articles on FreakyTrigger (i believe it was a "how to tell a hipster" listicle/article lol never change)

― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 29 March 2018 23:23 (seven years ago)

there was a poll a while back of all his posts, it was weird :-/
