I feel like I've already gone through this cycle where my favorite artists were hated, then achieved consensus, and are now meeting a 2nd wave backlash.

as far as a communal experience, I realize I don't necessarily contribute to it but the artists I want to talk about have very little overlap with steely dan the artists that get talked about en masse

meeee toooooooo
and i really don't want to shit on anybody else's parade, i mean it's fine if people want to discuss the music they want to discuss, it's just that particular music is mostly not for me.
and if i'm being bitchy about it's not you it's me! i hate change and it's just not really the board i once was on?
even though apparently most of the old guard is still lurking or whatever? and i think maybe we're all lurking because ... we all said our piece? i can put on a new album and pretty much run through my head what jess or ethan or tim or pipecock or deej or m*****c b**m or matt dc or dog latin or rev etc etc (lists a casts of thousands) would have said about it back in the day.

I'm curious about the music or artists that get routinely overlooked or ignored on ILM. What comes to mind for you all with regards to ILM blind spots?

its interesting to me when ppl list what they dislike abt ilx and it’s all things that were maybe true for a while like 10 or more years ago. do we even know *why* we dislike something, or just dislike it and lazily grope around for a reason. it’s like if someone said ‘i hate apples, they’re so uh... salty’. not saying ilx is good (it’s bad)

about the loss of communal experience I really wonder why that is, what has changed about ilx / the outer world

if u want a communal experience on ilx, i invite everyone to come to i love hoops during Important Basketball Games and things of that nature

yeah speaking of communal experience, twin peaks thread s3 thread was really great ... and i guess this explains why the book and movie threads are pretty busy
maybe it's that we're all just online all the time and being online and looking at facebook / twitter / cable news is our communal experience which is a miserable communal experience honestly
maybe we all need to go on a hike next weekend and then compare notes on our hikes on ilx (this thread already exists, i know!)
again sorry for ruminating (i have to work crazy late and i'm procrastinating rn)
