A great article and I think, Norman is the hidden treasure of ILX. That is all. Goodnight and enjoy Norman's writing.

Best Use Other Fact fact ever - when they found Lester Bangs' body, 'Dare' was on the turntable!

It seems like we've heard this all before on his ILM rants, though!

ilm is the writers best friend!

i've been able to write entire pieces (almost) editing together stuff i said about a record or artist on ilm.

(also, this is really good.)

(plus you can say stuff like "urgent and key" or "u r all gay" and no one will have any idea what you are talking about. it's great!)

my favorite bit from norman's article:

read the lyrics to "being boiled" or "the black hit of space". the former is clearly written by someone who has no idea what he is on about, the latter is so geeky and fucked-up that it's almost heroic. neither has any connection which what is cool either then or now, but they are both great.

amen!
