I never bother with those OP etc type threads but I'd go crazy if we can't discuss all those magazine albums of year polls. (apart from pazz & jop as we don't really need a dozen threads discussing the previous thread before it on that like last year).

but I'd go crazy if we can't discuss all those magazine albums of year polls.

these are an even bigger waste of time - never anything new about the lists so nothing new to say about them

― ;_; (blueski), Thursday, 26 October 2006 14:39 (eighteen years ago)

the trouble is you can't really complain if you haven't started any decent threads yourself in the last couple of years (ulp...)

― ;_; (blueski), Thursday, 26 October 2006 14:41 (eighteen years ago)

to be fair, last year's list threads did come up with perhaps ilx's BIGGEST EVER MEME.

Posting pictures of baseball players. ILM's funniest meme, hands down.

all the more reason to cram in all the list ideas i'd been storing in my mind before october's end!

what are your favourite second to last tracks on your least favourite records?

which records would you take on a comet with you (pox)?

if god said that your third favourite song on ok computer had to be merged with your second least favourite song on the velvet underground and nico, on a mixtape comprising of two songs, what would the two songs be?

― You've Got Scourage On Your Breath (Haberdager), Thursday, 26 October 2006 15:22 (eighteen years ago)

i will admit that those 'favourite song' based list threads do tend to follow a very similar trajectory each time, with the same bands/records mentioned over and over again. i think i've read the same thing about 'sister ray' in about 30 different threads. it does seem that the lists provoke more of a repetitive, streamlined style of discussion (not such a great thing) :/

haha, i've read that you quite enjoy a pint of beer, louis. we definitely have that in common as well

― Charlie Howard (the sphinx), Thursday, 26 October 2006 15:25 (eighteen years ago)

two guys that like beer and sports?....uncanny!

― J. Grizzle (trainsmoke), Thursday, 26 October 2006 15:26 (eighteen years ago)

sister ray is too short, features too much organ, and not enough zither.

'a' pint ;-)

beer, sports...and Wilco though???

― You've Got Scourage On Your Breath (Haberdager), Thursday, 26 October 2006 15:29 (eighteen years ago)

― J. Grizzle (trainsmoke), Thursday, 26 October 2006 15:31 (eighteen years ago)

also, i suspect you'd find a relatively high percentage of sport-haters on ILM. and in general i sense a surprising lack of love for wilco :(

egg and...anchovy? do those exist?

esteban, what is your opinion, on anything? don't make a big fucking deal out of it like a 13 year old, just tell us. not too hard.

i've had chili/anchovy/egg tapas before.

― Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Thursday, 2 November 2006 16:26 (eighteen years ago)

it's a heartbreaker, but i can't remember any of your opinions, geoff. i do know that esteban is a trenchant critic of british girl bands and their fans.

― benrique (Enrique), Thursday, 2 November 2006 16:27 (eighteen years ago)

Chilli, anchovy and egg all together? How does that taste?

i like cameo a lot, check the noiz bored.

disgusting, i expect! but i hate chillis and anchovies so i would say that.

eggs are AMAZING though

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 2 November 2006 16:29 (eighteen years ago)

esteban, what is your opinion, on anything?

I still think there is still a massive shortfall of synths in modern music.

I loathe anchovy.

This was an OK question. Not bad but not great either.

Also, I don't hate all British girl bands!

― wordy rappaport (EstieButtez1), Thursday, 2 November 2006 16:29 (eighteen years ago)

it was more of a 'pincho' than a tapas.

― Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Thursday, 2 November 2006 16:30 (eighteen years ago)

+ i write occasionally for the free weekly in minneapolis, and IN MY OPINION it is gauche to link yr own writing on ilx or even refer to it.

― geoff (gcannon), Thursday, 2 November 2006 16:31 (eighteen years ago)

I have half a mind to try that chilli and anchovy combo though. It sounds like the kind of hugely unpleasant mix of flavours that would appeal to me. Especially with added lemon juice. Washed down with tequila.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 2 November 2006 16:32 (eighteen years ago)

I still think there is still a massive shortfall of synths in modern music.

I loathe anchovy.

i agree on both counts!

what actually was it though alan? anchovies garnished with some unholy egg (boiled?) and chilli mixture?

polls would save ILM!

― banrique (blueski), Thursday, 2 November 2006 16:36 (eighteen years ago)

also, in my opinion, this sandwich would kick ass: heavy rye bread, provologne, a little horseradish, sprouts, cucumber, sliced avocado, anchovy, salt and pepper.

it was a lovely fresh green chili skewered onto a bit of boiled egg and... wait maybe it was a prawn. OH NOES. forget everything. i just love anchovies so they fall into the gaps of all my memories. which makes for some great reminiscing i can tell you. did i ever tell you about the time i fell into the park pond while driving around on my anchovy.

28 years old i was

plugging yr own band is fine! having a band is at least an act of hope. writing is just sad.

Prawns make me violently ill which is annoying as I love all other seafood but most restaurants appear to chuck prawns into any seafood dish as a matter of course. It's like trying to go to a Chinese restaurant with a nut allergy.
