Any reason why ILM is so quiet these days?

if that is bacon then what is bread in this theory

bread = artists it has become fashionable to claim being allergic to in the past few years? idk

lol

not every food product has an equivalent artist

Belle & Sebastian. Except Bread were much better.

palm oil is the lost prophets of vegan fat

still trying to wrap my mind about how *disliking* yacht rock makes one an out-of-touch dad

(bacon might be a good comparison: an oily, smarmy kind of thing elevated to meme status by legions of dudes)

Didn't realise Fleetwood Mac were one of the defining yacht rock bands.

But I don't think it's hard to imagine kids liking this stuff instead of what your average punk dad likes. Maybe after Ariel Pink, Kanye West and Justin Timberlake sampling or namedropping that stuff.

to a lot of people they are! (I can tolerate them more than most other artists in the category, but)

ground zero for baconing culture might have been the Big Lebowski. subsequent baconings include bill murray, werner herzog, and sriracha.

lebowski gets a pass for hating the fuckin' eagles

i dont think herzog has been baconed yet

i mean how many people are really going to sit down w/ aguirre the wrath of god

low-level baconing to be sure but baconing nonetheless

living it up at the joke-tel California

"subsequent baconings include bill murray, werner herzog, and sriracha."

friggin' IPA. everyone likes beer and then people ruin it.

IPA, good christ. i live on the west coast and it's like "we brew both kinds of beer: IPA and double IPA"

that article in the new york times about people standing in line all night to buy IPA. ugh. get one real beer. at a store. and then go home.

Oh god, articles in the new york times

you keep up with current events we get it

Hey, I like IPAs! I wouldn't stand in line for one, but I enjoy the drink.

it was just like two days ago. big article. about standing in line.

i think everyone in line was a fan of The National.

hate it when national fans bring kids to the beer line

oh shit sorry you are a beer line person. sorry.

just not an IPA fan. its symptomatic of something about america that i don't like. oooh, four kinds of nutmeg....

a too muchness thing. 14% goblincock beer kinda thing. you can't actually taste 8 kinds of hops in a beer. it's scientifically impossible.

I liked IPAs. Then IPAs ruined it for me. Actually had a really good one not long ago. Long Tail Limbo, but ymmv. But I keep buying them because they're usually the only beer at my liquor store that's not a lager or a stout.

you should try crushing some sessionable IPAs with some National fans sometime

when my kid is grown up enough to ask what beer tastes like I'm gonna give him an IPA

i bought a 6-pack of IPA last night! they make it at a trappist monastery up the road. i get my jam from them too. it's simple. i just like beer with like 4 things in it. that goes for jam too. there is a store here that has about 1000 beers and i just get the same boring german/belgian stuff.

fucking america can't brew a beer that doesn't have 3,000 calories in it, jesus. if it's not the ipas it's the fucking bourbon barrel everything. i mean i guess the plus side is i can drink one and then not eat for a week, but jesus.

i had a zombie dust yesterday. it was okay. not the best beer i've ever had.

i think it's just a cultural thing. americans really love beer that is either water or heavy as fuck. red state/blue state.

i think microbrewers are worried that fucking idiot The National fans won't be able to tell the difference between a light refreshing beer and budweiser. and they're probably right.

yeah and they do need to stand out because of all the competition and all the garish goblincock beer labels out there. i get it.

have you ever tried an american microbrew "pilsner". they're cute. get back to me in 500 years, beerbro.

The National indie band or The Nationals baseball team?

i knew something like this must exist:

The Dan Abides
Danger Brewing Company
Homebrew, Porter - American

no t-shirts though. someone should get on that. $$$!

all those dudes look like ilxors

I don't know how I got here, or when.

I'm the same way. I believe I joined around 2007, but I have no idea how I found this place. I want to say it was from a blog post from an established music critic, but I can't remember. It wasn't google, though.

I joined in 2007. I was at one of the lowest points in my life and was googling things like "I am sad" and "I am lonely" etc. One day I made a conscious decision to turn that around and google things that I actually liked instead, and I googled "I love music". It was a move that exponentially enriched my life.

I posted 15 years ago with a thread that reflected my age and naivete. I got made fun of for liking Tori Amos and some ilxors were pretty mean. Didn't post for 15 years but lurked the whole time and honestly love this place.

please provide a list of which beers are acceptable to drink

like, seriously, I'm not saying this is an example of "toxicity" or whatever before anyone jumps down my throat, but I am saying that I am going to be even more self-conscious when ordering a drink than I already am

Katherine, as you may know, that's why I stick to gin. It's the Geneva of alcohol.

that's the new recruitment poster! we need to print those out. and we need a snappy ILX logo. can someone do that?

and a new slogan. "FEEL THE....ILX!"
