ilx hasn't changed my mind for a long time but that's my fault.

ILM taught me to broaden my horizons....and that Hip Hop is not the enemy. http://www.planet-records.com/tight_shoes3.gif

I used to be nice to girls, then I started acting like Calum and now I get all the chicks.

Mike is the SuaveMan.

i got a brain transplant. that changed my mind.

― di smith (lucylurex), Saturday, 19 April 2003 02:36 (twenty-two years ago)

and now you think like calum and get all the chicks...

― michael wells (michael w.), Saturday, 19 April 2003 02:37 (twenty-two years ago)

all the chicks? i hope not. i don't want no fat ugly unshaggable birds.

― di smith (lucylurex), Saturday, 19 April 2003 02:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I still say Calum would be happier if he'd admit that he's all about the man pie.

What has ILx done for me? Well... it's made me understand that in a world where opinions vary so wildly, my opinion is more, not less, valid than I suspected. I don't mean I'm right about everything. Just that there's very little shame in standing up for what you love to listen to.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Saturday, 19 April 2003 02:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I used to think everyone who did not agree with me was stupid, now I think that they are merely wrong. Thanks ILM!

― Mike Taylor (mjt), Saturday, 19 April 2003 03:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, fark you. That's not what I meant at all. I meant, I used to think I was somehow missing something when I didn't agree with someone, and now I know it doesn't matter.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Saturday, 19 April 2003 03:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I used to think the internet was only good for looking at naked ladies and free music. Now I know that free music is wrong.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Saturday, 19 April 2003 03:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Naked ladies? Really, Horace. What would your mother say?

my serious answer -- i recently listened to new order's substance and discovered that i liked it. this after a decade of generally slagging them. i still can't say that i love them (i.e., the lyrics still strike me as pointlessly dumb; and i figured out that the reason i didn't really like them so much was because they weren't as "robotic" as the electronic music i usually like best) and i still think they're a bit overrated. but i concede now that i was wrong and better than i originally thought (so Ned and Dan can smile!)

― Tad (llamasfur), Saturday, 19 April 2003 06:33 (twenty-two years ago)

that's pretty much it for me too.

re-evaluating countless things i'd previously dismissed out of hand and realizing that people who like * might not be total morons.

a lot of you've also made it a lot easier to like 'pop' music.

there's no way i could've reached this level of maturity on my own.

wait, what was the question again?

― brian badword (badwords), Saturday, 19 April 2003 06:51 (twenty-two years ago)

someone convinced me to listen to codeine again. i still hate it, but thanks for trying.

This thread is pretty worrying. I'm always changing my mind. I can't stop it.

"What's beautiful is to change, tirelessly. Because every change is an advance, every permanence a grave. Contentment and resignation are a single despair, and anyone who stops and gives up becoming something else has already opted for death."

eeeh... i'd venture that partly thanx to ILX i was led to believe i got two pairs of sex organs (it 'appened over on the ILE side)

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Saturday, 19 April 2003 09:33 (twenty-two years ago)

hmmmm, not changed my mind about anything, sorry. Introduced me to some cool stuff though.

Not to hijack this thread, but I've been following that kinda ideology for a long time now, and it's grebt for music (less so with politics.)

throwing Devo's Greatest Hits and realizing what a shmuck I'd been about them for years.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 19 April 2003 16:09 (twenty-two years ago)

that should be "throwing Devo's Greatest Hits in my walkman." And I meant to imply that I realized how good they were. Didn't really capture that thought in my post though.

reading the white stripes review on The Church Of Me and realizing how utterly irritating they are. music's pretty good, tho ...

― Jay K (Jay K), Saturday, 19 April 2003 17:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha! Marcello doesn't like them? Shockah! Yet another reason why they must be great.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Saturday, 19 April 2003 20:33 (twenty-two years ago)

the 313 thing went way over his head. one wonder's if he walked out of 8 mile for the same reason.

― James Blount (James Blount), Saturday, 19 April 2003 20:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't need convincing (white stripes are awful) but when he gets to track descriptions, why its all lame, etc. its all damn fine.

so Ned and Dan can smile!

:-)

Arsan strikes me as the kind of guy who wants a different bed every day -- or at least different bedsheets. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 19 April 2003 21:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I changed my mind about people in general. I used to like them. But you people, you're all bastards.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 20 April 2003 01:12 (twenty-two years ago)

My argument w/ Mr. Diamond over Public Enemy convinced me I was probably counting their bars in doubletime but now I'm obsessively counting every track on the radio and I can't stop and it's taking all the fun out of it. However it has helped me figure out that right now "Snake" and "Move Your Body" at least are counted in triplets instead of eighth notes. Any other current radio tracks in triplets?

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 20 April 2003 01:28 (twenty-two years ago)

he cares, marcello. that's nice.
