Reviving old threads is taxing, thankless work. Gershy, how do you do it? What are your methods? What makes a good revive and what makes a shitty revive? Which revival are you most proud of?

jergïns, Monday, 27 August 2007 21:51 (eighteen years ago)

lol, i missed this.
um, the key is to sometimes forgo the obvious (i.e. twat, douche, retard) when using the search function and just pick the first mundane word that pops into your head. the results can really yield some forgotten gems ; )

gershy, Thursday, 30 August 2007 05:48 (eighteen years ago)

oh, i certainly wouldn't be proud of this

do u guys know what she's referring to?

chaki, Friday, 9 November 2007 18:15 (eighteen years ago)

Yes. I was very drunk, and I think I was trying to prove a point. It was a GREAT DEAL of money. He turned me down flat and got very angry about it. It was possibly one of the most unpleasant shut-downs I've ever experienced.

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 04:27 (eighteen years ago)

ok, i just read about Liz - didn't know about it as it happened over a year before i got here. sad :(
who are the other 2?

gershy, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 04:44 (eighteen years ago)

and now i've read about nick k - didn't know about him, too many nicks on this board. anyway, rip. and actually i realise these 2 deaths happened the same year i started to lurk, but earlier as i think i started to come here in november 05.... i guess i feel a little guilty about the dead internet friends thing, but how was i to know?

gershy, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 05:32 (eighteen years ago)

who is nick k? was he that guy with a really interesting mp3 site and did a ton of drugs and overdosed?

sanskrit, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 14:53 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, nick k was rad. did he contribute much to ilm or just sort of a friend of peoples? i found the thread shortly after asking here, his photography was amazing.

sanskrit, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 17:51 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, I remember that. Someone from here wrote a pitchfork tribute to him, or am I wrong.

roxymuzak, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 19:24 (eighteen years ago)

I don't remember Nick K.

Curt1s Stephens, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 19:58 (eighteen years ago)

i know a couple nicks who have od'd...this guy wasn't in ny was he? or a video artist?

bell_labs, Tuesday, 20 November 2007 20:07 (eighteen years ago)

nah he was britishes. he worked for Warp and ran gabba.cc, which wasn't so much an mp3 blog as it was a clearinghouse for amazing one trackers.

gershy, Monday, 4 February 2008 06:33 (eighteen years ago)

I live in what is apparently the only place on earth where my wife doesn't want to kill herself. That place is in a dry county, so there is no local bar where friends and I can get together and shoot the breeze. It's in one of the reddest of red states, so I'm surrounded by people who want my liberal commie pinko ass dead anyway. I'm agnostic and extremely allergic to organized religion, so finding a church community is out. It's in one of the least educated places in the country, so a conversation about art and culture is hard to come by.

What else do I have but internet message boards?

ILX's decline is incredibly upsetting to me, because I hate it here, I want to leave, but I'm a social creature and I have no idea what I'd replace it with.

-- Rock Hardy, Monday, 5 November 2007

But I do think ILE is in decline because zing-oll-contempt is spreading. I don't think I'll ever be convinced that Luna's demolition last month wasn't carried out more for entertainment than as a public service.

Goodbye Norma Jeane
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

CHORUS:
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind.
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in.
I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid.
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did.

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
All the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
was that Marilyn was found in the nude

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind.
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in.
I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid.
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did.

Goodbye Norma Jeane
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled

Goodbye Norma Jeane
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind.
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in.
I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid.
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did.

Your candle burned out long before
your legend ever did.

stfu dom tho your blount catch had perfect timing
this nigga gershy was cool
he rec'd me some great rita lee albums
and had tons of thoughtful posts
unfortunately in the x4000 posts a day HOOS era its hard for new dudes to get remembered
so they fall back on memorable shticks like hilarious revivals to get noticed
still he was framed

it dont matter when i jack the kernel i'll make gershy sitewide mod.
there will be an I Love Phil Paterson board. and to make it more interesting/odd couple Dom will be the only mod allowed there.
