there's a sort of wild psychedelic freedom hidden in this music that i'm absolutely barmy for. like at their best they could be among the foremost exponents of the american wpf, just like the boredoms are for japanese, julian cope for english, faust for german etc idk what even is freedom
the wpf/corny bar-band line is narrow, though

the louche, leering dandypants posters of ilx
if a band now emulated the sound of those early ozric tentacles tapes of shaggy krautrock/hawkwind stuff they would totally be beloved by the hep brooklyn weed crowd.

in imago.xls, Evan is and will always be 'the Swirlies guy', which actually puts you in very good stead with me tbh

Ship of Fools reminds me of some of my favourite tracks by The Band, though much longer and terrible.

I don't mind being the Swirlies guy at all! Discovering them was an awakening for me.

i think a key turning point for me is the moment an old thread comes up on something you have an opinion on, you log in to post your opinion, and then you discover you posted the exact same opinion in that exact same thread three years ago. that's offputting.
another phenomena that's probably related is the way people talk hagiographically now about certain albums or movies that you can remember discussing live on here when they first came out. i dunno, it felt really weird to see the chromatics poll the other day. sorry!

I have some food in my bag for you, not that edible food, the food you eat? No. I have some food for thought. It's called ILX.

The landlord of a local pub apparently roadied for the Upstarts amongst others (I assume Big Audio Dynamite since he's got loads of posters of them on the walls). He's got Peter & The Test Tube Babies, Charlie Harper of the UK Subs and John Otway to play gigs there in the last year or so. I don't actually go out drinking locally because I don't know anyone here but I could ask him to join ILX next time they have some ancient creaking punks play at his pub.

As my opinions can often change or almost certainly refine on certain issues ilx has proved to be almost a diary that keeps a log on my thinking - mostly on certain films, music or books.

surely the correct approach is to quote your entire earlier post and add "otm"
