I am so bored in my London office job, I wish I was a writer/musician/artist/beautiful princess/actor/etcetera delete as appropriate. I know, I shall wither away yet more of my life on ilxor! Now I am happy. For 'happy' read 'temporarily distracted from the all-encompassing hell of my educated and under-achieving urban existence'.

Finally and most interestingly, entire groups of people who used existing networks would occasionally migrate en masse to ILX. The cult pop artist Momus, for example, started spending time on the site and instructed his voluble fanbase to do likewise.

Lou Reed, founder of the Velvet Underground, has made solo records for almost 40 years. His best known album is Transformer, which contains his only hit song, “Walk On The Wild Side”. He’s made a raft of other critically acclaimed albums, though, like Street Hassle or Berlin. Music connoisseurs – like ILX members – might pick one of those instead. They did not. Instead they chose Metal Machine Music, a 1975 record Reed reputedly made in an attempt to break his EMI contract. MMM is four sides of raw electronic feedback and noise. It’s been called the worst record of all time, but it comfortably won the ILM poll.

‘Noize Board’ threads were more anarchic and often a lot funnier and more vibrant than other ILX threads, with shorter responses and a much higher proportion of pictures and cutting one-liners.

Hate to nitpick, but it was his contract with RCA.
