Any reason why ILM is so quiet these days?

"talking"

yeah, sorry again for taking this thread off-topic a couple of weeks ago and steering the conversation away from....hey, wait a minute!

250. Got em all right on the first guess except for one which i changed to the correct one right away.

i got 420!

God damn you bastards getting 250+

freakin hip kid millennials cheating the system

250 and I only own one album featured (TPAB). Have never knowingly heard Artic Monkeys, Rilo Kiley, Mitski and a few others. Why do I know this stuff?

God damn you

Here is a Rilo Kiley track to knowingly listen to you

yo tresh go on messenger

I've now knowingly heard Rilo Kiley. They're great! I can pick them blind from a similar lineup based on ambient exposure to indie music. Not my thing at all though. Speedy Ortiz was another I correctly ID'd having never heard. I do, though, read interviews with almost anyone and they're very interviewed.

seems we did get a handful of new posters after all, wonder where they came from

ex lurkers maybe

rymers who defected to ilx because their off-topic and politics boards got shut down and their music board stagnated as their community sought for the thousandth time to determine which album had the best opening track. they think ilm is really highbrow because here you can have *deep thoughts* about the critical reception of late career Zeppelin albums rather than just quibbling over why "California" has such a low track rating. in the next year or so, rym will shut down all of its message boards and there'll be a link to ilm on the rym/sonemic frontpage like there used to be on freakytrigger.

clearly no longer frightened off by all the playlists

I've always thought the forum on RYM was one of the least appealing aspects of the site.

Had no idea there even was one

Seriously!?

lol oh dear, maybe that's where the person who i poked fun at for sounding like an 'acclaimed music' community member came from

let's hope their forums don't shut down too

I only look at the rym charts

mass exodus of rym shut-ins to ilm and ensuing internecine war is PRECISELY what this sleepy plain text message boards needs!!!

Does sound pretty good.

historians will judge us for our lack of foresight in introducing polls

its all good let em in

Brexit from ILM (to Livejournal) already happened in 2005.

i had no idea there was anybody left on the rym boards to flee.

who are these new posters? what are their names, their habits, their fears?

are they the ones who think the entire music-critical establishment is being forced at gunpoint to enjoy beyoncé

tbh i am not comfortable with the number of times ilxors have pulled a gun on me

i'm probably a "new poster," even though i lurk mostly still—almost def came thru because some people i know from online write for singles jukebox and/or have nostagia for stylus and the trail led back here.

also an editor of mine kept sending me weird old frank kogan threads

welcome!

flopson otm of course, maybe we'll get some new posters who want to talk about musical content, or a guy who writes songs about trains.

dude ilm rules lately its all yessed and zepped out lol

I just started posting recently, too, after lurking for a while. I think I heard about this site from MetaFilter, although I don't remember for sure. I'm mainly looking for something to distract me from grad school.

be forewarned, there are ilx threads i now remember more clearly than entire classes i took while getting my masters

ilx is more educational than most grad school classes, and your supervisor can't grope you and threaten to withhold your recommendation letters here

"dude ilm rules lately its all yessed and zepped out lol"

yes

been enjoying getting the zep out here lately

"getting the led out" as they say on my local classic rock station after a back-to-back double shot of lz

digging having some new posters lately, it's cool

where?

idk just around, maybe they've been here a while and i hadn't noticed? just seems like some new names around

maybe so. maybe just no one new on the rap/r&b threads i mostly live in.

some new names itt no?

si!

im a new poster. i once vaguely tried rym, but hated how everyone seemed to have the same opinion

As someone who first read about ilx on 4chan's music board in late 2013, I am now certain I've assimilated here over the course of past years, to the point where I have generic ilx music taste and generic ilx opinions.

Lurking because my poor English and starstruck. Too young for this place, too (24).

We were mostly twentysomethings, once
