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

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

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 thread
Best 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.

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?

i lol'd harder at these tweedy img posts than anything on ILX in a month

shit had me almost in tears

i genuinely thought when i first joined that he was the admin (ilxor), Monday, 20 December 2010 15:19 (thirteen years ago) link

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'

Sorry I don't have a witty image zing that says "go away forever, you are a horrible person".

i was trying to have fun, you came in here talking shit, and somehow im a horrible person? get a clue

"I was thinkin' about the late Tim Hardin"

scott seward, Monday, 20 December 2010 17:16 (thirteen years ago) link

"Horrible person" is overstating it a bit, yes, but you are a horrible poster that makes this place much less interesting to read. It would be fine if you didn't clutter up so many threads with unfunny shit.

one pretty obvious guy in the obvious (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 20 December 2010 17:16 (thirteen years ago) link

Like I would honestly read every deej/whiney beef thread ever than see a post from "markers" ever again.

everyone relax. we all like wilco here.

If hating your lazy, unfunny style of posting makes me a "dick", well, I'm okay with that.

I will always think of you, while (quite) fondly, myself (Evan), Monday, 20 December 2010 17:37 (thirteen years ago) link

markers you used to come off like a nice guy, now you're some weird over-defensive image-posting bot who'd rather be weird and 'funny' than ever post anything interesting or even straightfoward

some dude, Monday, 20 December 2010 17:40 (thirteen years ago) link

killfile bro, now youre derailing this thread with shit people dont wanna read

pretentious: based on the album 'what happened?' by emeralds (diamonddave85), Monday, 20 December 2010 17:40 (thirteen years ago) link

this isn't exactly an urgent thread about a new album or something, it's just a dormant thread among many in which said band can be discussed, and easily ignored

i guess markers would be best to ration the loltweedies but they were kinda funny upthread

he's def a chill person....live and let live

I just really hate that people are applauding him for such lazy, unfunny posting. ILX is usually above that sort of shit and I don't know why we would appluad that.
