more yessing out in years previous to balance out uptight critics might have helped but alas that ship sailed long ago

one of my first memories of ilxor lingo was the term fap, meaning fancy a pint
OH MY GOD I'd been wondering about this forever, I never asked though because I knew you fuckers wouldn't give me a sensible answer

Me too.
When people are talking about the regular in depth critical analysis of this board it doesn't really sound like the ILX I know but I don't really go on the Rolling music threads. I think those posters are in the minority and that's fine. I know I can't go as far as them.

I recant. What I meant was: I haven't spent two decades filtering my own critical vocabulary through a warren of obscurant friends. There seems to actually be really simple steps for inclusion here: loudly, ignorantly proclaim your presence; mocked; try again; mocked; injoke +/- vocabulary subsumption.
It's pretty OK as a hazing process, but I feel like the subtext is really giving a fuck about Jute Gyte.
― lion in winter, Monday, 13 February 2017 06:17 (seven years ago) link
I think the subtext could stand to give more of one tbf
mockery can be quite character-forming, especially for bullish prigs, I would recommend it in doses varying by levels of childhood privilege

I got a 242, helped by some lucky guessing.
248. When stuck, picking the group you've heard of usually seems to work.
― Choco Blavatsky (seandalai), Saturday, 25 February 2017 03:02 (seven years ago) link
249. Yeah, quite a lot of these were three records I didn't know + Blondie.

― mookieproof, Saturday, 25 February 2017 03:05 (seven years ago) link
230. A lot of this stuff is not remotely what I care about.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 25 February 2017 03:28 (seven years ago) link
235--numerous, numerous guesses. As tribute to one of my new favourite movies, I made sure to get "Heroes" wrong.
― clemenza, Saturday, 25 February 2017 03:31 (seven years ago) link
239
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 25 February 2017 03:34 (seven years ago) link
247 with a LOT of guessing, helped by things like "There's rapping and the only rap group there is The Roots, so..."
― albvivertine, Saturday, 25 February 2017 03:34 (seven years ago) link
I went through three guesses before picking Arcade Fire on one question. Apparently what I've heard by them didn't make an impression beyond inspiring me to not listen to any more.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 25 February 2017 03:36 (seven years ago) link
240sigh can't believe i whiffed on lol vampire weekendwould have been a way better quiz if they removed the artist names from the coversalso if they didn't use ugly greatest hits artalso if they had a time bonusThere was a fair amount of stuff that I had never heard but I could guess based on the cover / offhanded remarks on ILM. like level 10 was just WGW punchlines

I got 246, mainly missing on the rap questions.

245, but one mistake was an accidental click.

of all the indie stuff from the past 20 years, I had an amazing success rate guessing based on the aesthetics of the album cover.
― sarahell, Saturday, 25 February 2017 05:03 (seven years ago) link
247--could've been better but it took me 4 tries for a couple

250, only mistake was an impulse decision that Fela Kuti was the Fugees.

249. There were a few lucky guesses in there for sure.
― kitchen person, Saturday, 25 February 2017 22:24 (seven years ago) link
248, struggled with some of the indie shit
― Treesh-Hurt (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 25 February 2017 22:48 (seven years ago) link
234, struggled with most of the rap shit
― heaven parker (anagram), Saturday, 25 February 2017 22:52 (seven years ago) link
243. The more recent rap/R&B stuff gave me a hard time.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 25 February 2017 23:22 (seven years ago) link
246. I got the rap stuff (which shocked me) and missed a few of the indie things. A lot of them were ridiculously easy to guess, though, like there would be only one female option out of four.

the average score was 158
which means they totally made that up
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 25 February 2017 23:57 (seven years ago) link
the average score on this online IQ test is 115, bet you can't beat it! (everyone gets 140+)
Maybe. I think our scores are just high because we are ILM posters.

187
