facebook

I eventually gave up on girls I dated having good taste in music.

I eventually gave up on being a sanctimonious prig.

you spoke too soon

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
DON'T GIVE UP MAN
YR NOT A SNOB YR A PIONEER

the eternal psychological battle in the heads of college student music geeks

damn right!

You know, some Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson songs are kind of good.

(ducks out)

Coldplay and The Beatles are at least good and Green Day and Led Zep are OK.

"The Beatles are at least good"

---you are not Geir!

Nah, Geir's good. Ish.

lol I just held a facebook chat with Paul Draper (mostly about football), this is how all rock icons should be :D

How come the ILX Facebook groups have such unoriginal names? "I Love Music"? "I Love Everything"? Come on, we can do better than that.

people you may know = siblings you don't know of people you sort of know

Also, friends of couples you know.

Also, people you know but don't want to know.

friends of older/younger friends from high school

ex girlfriends who specifically de-friended you

mine usually add me to ignore & then take me off to stalk me and forget to readd me

me and you and people you may know

Favorite Music:depends on my mood...
rock, rap, country, pop.
i listen to rock when im angry.
rap when im cool.
country when im romantic.
and pop when im silly.

posts very much in character

ILM's current favourite bands don't make the list because typical mainstream singles list acts of 2009 are mainly popular with kids who have yet to join Facebook because they are too young. :)

Easier to find them that way.

I still don't get Facebook. I can't find anyone I know. Why is it so inconvenient? How did all these people on Facebook find everyone they know and even people they don't know? I'm eating chewy candy shaped as wedges of fruit.

do you know your friends' names?

lol this is an ilm thread

mostly you just let it search for people in your email contacts list & see who it coughs up no?

facebook is mostly good for scrabble imo.

There's several dozen groups called I Love Music now, so not so easy. Is there any way to identify the real one? What's the graphic used, type and number of members right now?

I clicked on this thread hoping that facebook was the name of a band

The secret is you are in college, and have been on since it was .edu only, and pretty much get what it does.

I mean, is it really relevant to other people? I'm more or less dependent on it nowadays but for those that aren't already really into it, what's the point?

I hate trying to get my friends to join my Rock Legends app as a groupie; but how else am I going to become a rock legend?

there seems to a trend of people linking ilx threads from their facebook status updates. is it just me who is kinda not into that? perfectly prepared for the answer to be "yeah dude it's just you," there are plenty of questions I have about stuff which can accurately be answered "yeah that sounds like more your deal than anybody's problem"

im not into that

That's totally weird.

try to avoid participating in discussions that might be construed as interesting is the best strategy I guess

woah so not into that

xp mind you idk if i ever even joined an ilx facebook group. i am not sure i am cool with mark zuckerberg knowing i am on ilx, i feel like that is not information i would trust him with.

i don't like the idea, either.

I keep ilx and facebook as entirely separate worlds. Like, there are so many facebook.friends who are like, obligatorily involved in my life. If I posted an ilx facebook status update, or commented on someone's ilxor fb status update, I'd be opening the ilxor door to people who I'd much.rather just know as IRL people.

hmmm yeah i don't like it...didn't know that was happening.

obvs cant assume that everybody's fb friend demographics or privacy settings are same as mine, but cant assume they're not either.

i also would prefer these worlds not collide

I'd add ilxors as friends, especially ones I've met, but that isn't exactly a running concern so far. I'd feel weird linking to here unless it's some sort of commentary thread that could stand on its own, without really acknowledging that this is a site I post on and do not just browse.

this is long overdue but i just finally changed my login ID

not at all saying that
a) i'm anything but a semi-lurker
b) anything i post is of interest to anybody

but i wouldn't feel that good if people were (without my knowledge) discussing on facebook something i said on ilx

i guess others would agree?

how do i promote a party on facebook? do i already have to have a personal facebook page? i've setup an artist page but can't see any way of actually inviting people or adding friends

this thing is bullshit. myspace was so much better for this type of thing

Not to victim-blame; but images of loved ones’ graves are perhaps better suited for Tumblr.

Pretty wild flex from Zuckerberg here in Australia

Absolutely no idea how this will play out
