N/A is Nick. He is in a band and lives in Chicago and just got engaged to his girlfriend.

Hope that helps!

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Monday, 1 May 2006 23:28 (twenty years ago)

NOT REALLY. CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT HIS ILX PERSONA. THANKS!

― city of gyros (chaki), Monday, 1 May 2006 23:30 (twenty years ago)

well...that is the best I can do, he doesn't even post here anymore so his ILX persona is "no more"

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Monday, 1 May 2006 23:32 (twenty years ago)

1.asking people to stop referencing john cage's 4'33.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 1 May 2006 23:33 (twenty years ago)

i think gypsy mothra used to live in rochester, ny. that's about all i know.

― tehresa (tehresa), Monday, 1 May 2006 23:35 (twenty years ago)

gypsy mothra is a smart dude and a great writer and his opinions are strikingly well-reasoned. < /save-a-ho>

i dunno if he has a persona really, which may be why you don't know who he is.

(gypsy lives in nyc now, and has lived in knoxville.)

― jbr with a z (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 1 May 2006 23:36 (twenty years ago)

i met gypsy mothra once, seemed nice.
i have met o. nate a handful of times, and he is a cool if somewhat reserved dude.

JBR, i have a question for you. you're not the same person as Jody Rosen who posts to ILM and writes for Slate? isnt that annoying?

― jinx hijinks (sanskrit), Monday, 1 May 2006 23:50 (twenty years ago)

yeah, it is. not annoying enough for me to change my name, esp. since i don't write about music anymore.

daria g seems like a bro. she likes touch & go shit, and usually has insightful things to say about the ARTS.

― electro-acoustic lycanthrope (orion), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 00:04 (twenty years ago)

daria is noise tho!

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 00:06 (twenty years ago)

true.

― electro-acoustic lycanthrope (orion), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 00:09 (twenty years ago)

Is the Jody Rosen I just saw in my local bookshop/music paper/Private Eye the same as ILX's Jody Beth Rosen?

No. Jody Rosen is a guy with a belly button piercing. Jody Beth Rosen also has a belly button piercing but is not a guy.

AIMLESS: older dude, prob in 40s, has a beard, writes poems on that write-a-poem thread along with Beth Parker, also posts a lot on political threads but I think people don't take his views all that seriously

N/A: my friend Nick, just got engaged to his gf Sarah McLusky, hey play together in the band The Fak3 Ficti0ns, was a religion major in college (Wm & Mary), lived all over the world growing up (Yugoslavia, France, India) since his dad was a diplomat, his 27th bday is two weeks from today, has a hot sister named Adrienne, etc etc etc

TREMENDOID: African American (that's all I know)

O.NATE: lives in New York, I'm guessing early 30s, likes Outkast and Missy Elliott and Stephen Malkmus, seems well-cultured and thoughtful, skinny and wears nice sweaters

GYPSY MOTHRA: dude in his mid-30s, used to post under his real name (J3ss3 F0x Maysh@rk), is a journalist who used to edit an alt-weekly in Tennessee and now lives in New York and I think freelances, have seen his stuff in the NYT even, is married and has a fairly young kid, pretty smart and reasonable, e-mailed me some Dylan songs once

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 01:26 (twenty years ago)

also i guess i didn't say anything about n/a's persona, but he's known for snarky humor that ally approves of cuz she uh said something once about him being funny, also other stuff

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 01:32 (twenty years ago)

jaymc, you're not a W&M grad yourself, are you?

― jinx hijinks (sanskrit), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 01:33 (twenty years ago)

OKAY.

(he's less creepy in person. but it still freaks me out a bit. at least he likes beer, right? RIGHT.)

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 01:34 (twenty years ago)

(that OKAY was an xpost to jaymc. i also said it in real life. obv.)

lol well first of all, it has been at least 15 years since I pretended to know stuff about ilxors (which tbf was always just a decent memory + facility with the search function rather than an actual .xls). i wasn't on here much for a good chunk of the 2010s, so there's a bunch of ppl I really don't know anything about. and especially British ppl who post a lot in British threads.

anyway, i feel like I didn't really take notice the screen name xyzzzz until like 2020? and yeah the twitter embeds and the ... spirited attitude def did not lead me to believe he was the same person whose ILM posts I read 21 years ago. the more you know!

― jaymc, Friday, 23 August 2024 01:16 (two years ago)

You just paid enough attention to know that that brilliant poster characterized me as only psoting YouTube videos as opposed to his magnum opera of posting

Hmm, wonder what form of magnum is needed to agree with opera?

Magna opera!

As opposed to manga opera

I didn't have to pay attention to him to know that you frequently post YouTube videos.

― jaymc, Friday, 23 August 2024 01:24 (two years ago)

I confused xyz with the infinity douche who used to talk about his dick all of the time and wondered when that dudebro suddenly got so serious and intelligent out of nowhere

_You just paid enough attention to know that that brilliant poster characterized me as only psoting YouTube videos_

I didn't have to pay attention to him to know that you frequently post YouTube videos.

Can you use what’s left of your spreadsheet capabilities to do a statistical analysis of how many YT posts I have made versus other non-YT content I might have provided?

― The Zing from Another URL (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 23 August 2024 01:31 (two years ago)

Jay, as another person who has an insanely good memory for this kind of shit on here, I had no idea xyzzzz posted under any other name and still cant figure out what the og username was. Can't get them all.

― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Friday, 23 August 2024 08:43 (two years ago)

OG was actual govt name

holy shit, xyzzzz__ is J***o D*****a of early ILX fame? I thought xyzzzz__ was like in his 20s.

Of course, v cool.

I am not the only person to come back out with that observation, BTW. A couple of ilxors have said this to me offline. I just pulled you up on this, which made you mad.

I made the connection pretty quickly because there are only a handful of us who regularly post about certain music, and the specific aesthetic positions between xyzzz and his original name are consistent. … also at least one brit ilxor has addressed him by his real first name

― sarahell, Saturday, 24 August 2024 15:46 (two years ago)

Listening to trolly music at 20 has kept my posting fresh and young, 20 years on

You might be one of the youngest ilxors on those threads tbh … hardly a fossil

sorry I wasnt sure I should say outright, so I posted a hint. I figured it out by searching his posts and following some clues. then confirmed by seeing that his new handle started posting on the same day that his old one stopped.

― Venus of Willendorf on Golf (jaymc), Wednesday, 18 February 2026 15:35 (seven months ago)

Not everyone has time/energy for that, so I thank you.
