HELLO iLM !!!!....MY FIRST POST & LIST OF FAVOURITE ALBUMS !!!!

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Hello fellow music obsessives, compulsive obsessives and kleptomaniacs (not me personally, but i'm sure we've all had our moments.....anyways). My name is Tim and i'm a 21 yr old singer-songwriter (at least i'd like to think so) from Sydney. Music has always been a huge part of my life and i was lucky enough to recently stumble upon this site, which appears to be a haven for the record collector and geek (ie. me).

For the last week or so i've poured through alot of older posts and come to one irrefutable conclusion: Ned likes 'Loveless' quite a bit. (stating the obvious i know....it is a great album though). On the topic of albums, i thought i'd just give you guys (and gurls....i hope. This place better be a sea of cute indie chicks or else!!!) a rundown of my favourie albums....OF ALL TIME !!!! (Capital letters = dramatic). I'll just list them for now, but later on i'll probaly attempt somes reviews of a smaller selection and giver them a ranking as well. I'm very interested to hear what everyone thinks of my choices, love them or hate them. Also, feel free to make recommendations based on my taste.

And now for your viewing pleasure (i've even alphabetised......yay !!).

The Blue Nile record is an interesting inclusion amongst the post-Pitchfork fare. Maybe they are experiencing a new cachet in the hip young world?

When I saw this thread at the top of "New Questions", a wave of certainty swept over me that it would be at the top of "New Answers" as well...

― Saxby D. Elder (Saxby D. Elder), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 02:04 (eighteen years ago)

hey tim in all seriousness our search function isn't really working very well at the moment, so take a little extra time to search for threads about, say, Sparklehorse before you start one. otherwise it will probably get locked and you will be teased and mocked.

and be sure to read the FAQ if you haven't already.

and heed deej's words about real names.

― sleeve (sleeve), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 02:04 (eighteen years ago)

also, don't threaten to kidnap us

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 02:05 (eighteen years ago)

yeah.

― sleeve (sleeve), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 02:06 (eighteen years ago)

Wow....a whole five minutes and the predatory music buffs already come out to play. Do you guys just sit there and wait for a new question to arrive ? Sorry about the small i....i know that such a grammar based faux paus is probaly unforgivable *openly weeps*....if only you guys could give me another chance....please, god please !!

On a less sarcastic note, at least try and make your contributions worthwhile with some recommendations or constructive criticisms.For the less pretensious of you here's a side question : how many of these titles do you have in your own collection or sold/avoided and for what reason.

Cutty, thanks for your comment. Ihaven't heard any of those and will be sure to check them out. Brainwasher and sleeve....i know you're trying to multitask, but while your posting these, many of your cyber "friends" are feeling neglected in their marathon sessions of World of warcraft. So i think your needed elsewhere !

― Tim Lucas (Piano Fire (Tim Lucas)), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 02:06 (eighteen years ago)

dude I just gave you some totally serious sincere advice. and that includes the first post.

― sleeve (sleeve), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 02:07 (eighteen years ago)

'never use your real name' is good advice. never *openly weep* either!

― roger goodell (gear), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 02:09 (eighteen years ago)

Sachiko Kanenobu - Misora

this is a really lovely album

― jimbo (electricsound), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 02:12 (eighteen years ago)

Cutty, thanks for your comment. Ihaven't heard any of those and will be sure to check them out.

you won't find them on pitchfork

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 02:13 (eighteen years ago)

If you like Sparklehorse, you'll love Adam Beales

― deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 02:15 (eighteen years ago)

I would say that you are about 98% twee. I am only about 5% twee, so I only share six of those records. Kate Bush, NMH, Bowie, Leonard Cohen and Love. I don't really like the Love that much.

― Candy: tastes like chicken, if chicken was a candy. (Austin, Still), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 02:15 (eighteen years ago)

Dude, listen to what you like, don't let a lot of jerks get you down. Your music and mine do not have a lot of intersections, but it's all good.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 02:17 (eighteen years ago)

Serious about the name change, tho

― deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 02:28 (eighteen years ago)

I realise that some of the albums may not be particularly new or exciting favourites, but i'm not going to lie and say i like faust or whatever the token indie geek holy grail is this week, just for the sake of it. These albums all mean alot to me and whether i found out about them on pitchfork or through a friend is irrelevant....maybe for once these threads could be about the music and not a knowledge pissing contest. I may be young, but i've read enough music mags & listened to enough records to come to realise that knowing about music doesn't necessarily mean you can fully appreciate music.

― Tim Lucas (Piano Fire (Tim Lucas)), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 02:30 (eighteen years ago)

Dear Sir: pls never, EVER come over to ILG. kthx.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 03:00 (eighteen years ago)

This place is a battlefield and for the moment i'm quite happy to have Haikunym and sleeve as allies. Also, a delayed reaction to Candy taste like chicken's comment- how are any of these albums besides Vashti, Joanna, Zobies and maybe of montreal, twee exactly ?

― Tim Lucas (Piano Fire (Tim Lucas)), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 03:00 (eighteen years ago)

Uh, that should be Zombies. But these 60's sci-fi referencing Japanese group are worth a look too.

― Tim Lucas (Piano Fire (Tim Lucas)), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 03:02 (eighteen years ago)

Serious comment here Tim: if you took time to read ILM for a while (and hey, good on you if you did!), then surely by now you'dve noticed how much certain ... um... personality types get shat on here?

Also, implying people are Wow loser nerds as an insult=lame and overdone.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 03:05 (eighteen years ago)

I will only be your ally if you promise to listen to Erykah Badu, Cheap Trick, Parliament, and El Gran Silencio in the next 96 hours and then report back to us. If not -- I'm off the Lucas Train.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 03:06 (eighteen years ago)

what Haikunym said, except my recommendations are one Nurse With Wound track, one Merzbow track, and the entire Young Marble Giants LP.

― sleeve (sleeve), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 03:08 (eighteen years ago)

Ahem. I still don't know if you've figured out what kind of people dominate this site. This site is populated with lots of so-called "popists" - that is, people who use the same pretty words and references that "alternative" fans often do, except these people use them to defend whatever most 12-year-old kids are currently into. :)

― reliving the memories (Haberdager), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 14:40 (eighteen years ago)

when you get such an easy ride to the top of ILE notoriety, why not stick around

there should be a minimum of 100 posts before you can post here

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 14:40 (eighteen years ago)

ILX that is

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 14:40 (eighteen years ago)

post a new thread that is

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 14:41 (eighteen years ago)

but then someone will just post crap 100 times just in order to start thread.

ok this happens anyway but still.

Jesus fuckin' Christ, what happened here

Thanks to those of you who keep offering some really interesting recommendations and a friendly welcome. I appreciate all of the people sticking up for me as a 'newbie'. To be honest though, i'm not really upset by these posters getting nasty. At the end of the day, this is simply a forum in which to freely express your opinions on music. If some of you want to take this to a level of personal criticism, then fine....but just don't expect me to give a shit :)

― Tim Lucas (Piano Fire (Tim Lucas)), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 15:51 (eighteen years ago)

ha, you'll definitely do fine here. and I forgot to say welcome when I was recommending the Young Marble Giants.

― sleeve (sleeve), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 15:56 (eighteen years ago)

How is mocking this dude (or being nice to him) controversial at all? ILM is a fucking preschool compared to most internet nastiness. Anyone here ever encounter thefuckyoucrew on livejournal? Seriously.

Anyway, hi Tim. Stop using smileys and writing cheerfully and you might stand a chance.

― call all destroyer (Sean Braudis), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 16:00 (eighteen years ago)

that is v similar to the sort of thing i was told about ILM in 2002 (i didn't use smileys THAT much tho)

Incidentally, Tim, if you like Kate Bush, you might like Shiina Ringo. Try Shouso Strip or Karuki Zaamen Kuri-no-Hana. (And I say this not to be friendly, but because I am pushing Shiina Ringo.)
