there are probably going to be some more kinda pretentious, kinda experimental meta posts by english ilxors snowed in over the holidays

Well obviously they're irrelevant and rockist....but I quite like Summerteeth: they're not crap ;)― Tom, Wednesday, April 25, 2001 8:00 PM

They just kind of...exist. From what I've heard of theirs, I have no desire to search out their music any more. They just kind of bored me.― Melissa W, Sunday, May 13, 2001 8:00 PM

The whole point about Wilco (as Summerteeth proves beyond all doubt) is that they're not rockist, as opposed to Son Volt. Being There is not rockist, but rather operates to question the foundations of rock myth.― Sterling Clover, Wednesday, April 25, 2001 8:00 PM

YHF is the only not-horrible album they've made, and that only rises to pleasant and dull.
I think my first ILM post was in 2003 and I still don't understand what the fuck 'rockist' is supposed to mean.

idk markers
not saying yr img spamming of near-consecutive stills from a video alongside contextual ilx archive posts is totally devoid of experimentalism
but it's a 'yankee hotel foxtrot' sort of experimentalism, where the left-field aspects are kinda glued on to something that is actually fairly conventional

doesn't it look better without the captions? truly unencumbered from the need to supply banal 'context', tweedy's affective dynamics are rendered in all their glory

one of the first things that struck me as kinda singular abt ilx was a certain use of image posts. one of the second things was how bad ilxor and markers are at image posts.

yes; in surrendering to portraiture, in decontextualising himself from any adherence to explicatory forms of communication, tweedy conversely forays most piercingly into his own artistic impulse, and is thus rendered at his most lucid
markers' textless posts = the last 12 minutes of "less than you think", truly the pinnacle of all things wilco
― smexy fishy hawt joey martin (acoleuthic), Sunday, 19 December 2010 23:36 (thirteen years ago) link
just imagine if markers fell thru a wormhole into another dimension and could only communicate through loltweedies

he'd want to convey the unimaginable horror, but ppl would only lol because his expression of despair would appear to belong to jeff tweedy

maybe it's just me.
just the other day i was looking at a taylor swift markers img post and thinking, why on earth would u post that, then next time i saw the thread someone had typed lol underneath.
― zvookster, Sunday, 19 December 2010 23:56 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I have to say that I think markers' image posts are some of his finest work.

If this is "crushin it", no wonder this board sucks so hard lately.

weird threadBest thing about YHF is Jim O'Rourke.kinda feel like maybe o'rourke's contribution to YHF is exaggerated? afaik he was brought in just to mix the record. so obviously he had a hand in the sound, but maybe not quite as much as people think. the record where he *was* involved throughout was Ghost Is Born, where he produced, and played guitar, piano or bass on pretty much every song.
― tylerw, Monday, 20 December 2010 14:57 (thirteen years ago) link
I mean, maybe that came off as harsh, but when people posting repeated images of Jeff Tweedy is what makes yuo enjoy ilm, maybe its time you took off for 4chan?

Jon - I remember reading that O'Rourke took a lot out of YHF, minimalised it before mixing it. I think that minimalism is a MASSIVE part of the album's success.
― Captain Ostensible (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 20 December 2010 16:23 (thirteen years ago) link
That is really true, that minimalism is a huge part of why I love that album so much.

ilm is a broad church
markers is straight outta the seminary and is bringing new thinking to the parish
let's not shout him down

Yeah, I suppose, god forbid, some of us might prefer well-written discourse as opposed to lazy, unfunny imagebomb "zings".

afaict markers isn't really 'zinging', he's just improvising spiritedly
i will try to listen to the rest of YHF later, i don't hold out much hope but i love 'murray street' and the sadly neglected 'i'm happy and i'm singing and a 1 2 3 4'
