Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

some of mine were probably pretty bad, but I only remember the ones I still take some pride in

can't keep track of all my socks tbh

the best sock is someone you're not sure is a sock, this is basic

i feel like that's kinda a rockist approach to socks ...

its like having a fuddled granddad in the corner of the kitchen muttering at the snatches of news that penetrate

yeah not rly

can't keep track of all my socks tbh

oh god this is going to turn into a jerry seinfeld routine

I started this longterm sock, I kept changing my mind on the details and found myself getting engrossed in it and now it's my only account

deems otm but I am surrounded by fuddled grandads today

the sock is an ilx tradition that, when used effectively, engages, divides, and conquers

veni freaky deeky

I think I'll wait until release day to hear this in full as the band intended it like I assume the proper fans will. I haven't heard any of the already released songs from it so I'll be coming to the whole thing fresh. Looking forward to it, although setting my expectations as low as possible - I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

jesus christ

a bot should repost that to every extant ilm thread

jfc

ROUSes plz

a bot should start a thread for every album that is the subject of an ilm thread entitled "I've had it up to here waiting for [album] to be remastered"

I can't believe ILM's DNA is woven from the lamest strands of indie-rock rope. Shocked!

i agree with you and lex about comedy

this Sic Burn(TM) has been brought to you by MoviePass

that's a good post

But it’s quite obvious it’s about me, because there’s been a real reluctance for me to talk about it.

This is absolutely priceless. I take it that the guitarist used to be in Evil Gazebo too?

just post in the 1975 thread about how much you hate heroin addicts you dumbass

certainly you're not using this thread as intended if you're directly quoting a fucking article

When the lead singer of a band makes a point of talking about something, and that becomes the angle (a boring one, might I add) used for promoting their forthcoming record, it is most certainly amusing when they suddenly say they're reluctant to talk about it. And yes, it does bring to mind the character in the Half Man Half Biscuit song 'Used to Be in Evil Gazebo' - read the lyrics and I'm sure you'll see it for yourself.

Now, there's a reason I'm posting these things in the "second thoughts" thread instead of The 1975 thread, which you seem unable to grasp, but primarily because I do not want the thread to be derailed because I know you can't help yourself. Given your above response, I daresay I have a point.

did Morrissey write The Headmaster Ritual about you?

How many more threads do we need treating an ex-Vagrant band like they’re James Joyce

woah they were on vagrant??? crazy

Over The Top

Meet me halfway

Synchronicity is actually a good song?

boyslayer would have won

eesh

Because they are made out of mealworms?

No you haven't!

Hey grandma, get out of our Young Folks thread

grampa bush doo doo doo doo doo doo, grampa bush doo doo doo doo doo doo, grampa bush doo doo doo doo doo doo, grampa bush!

you and the entire world have all lost your goddamned minds

Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one more traveled by,
And laid the groundwork for boring the fuck out of anybody who's remotely interested in difference.

who cares about philbin i want techno

when you just don't have the heart to click the "Skipping 34030430 messages" button because you're pretty sure you can see all the context already

the London with 3m immigrants from around the world? the London with predominately Labour control, enthusiastic support for JC and McD and some of the most leftwing voters in the country? that London? Because assuming you're not an idiot you must mean "Westminster". But that doesn't apply to the rest of us.

what we hate most abt these so-called 'londoners' is their characteristic blend of bellicose hubris, myopic narcissism, strained humourlessness and chippy provincial bad manners

some of us are actual londoners, and not 'so-called londoners', whoever the fuck that is. we live and work here, and exist in the most multi-culturally diverse environment the world has ever seen, a massive population of such. your problems with -so-called londoners' seems rather provincial in that light

oh, and good luck on relying on having a Labour government without London

ok H Enfield is a good example of what ogmor was referring to, i agree

Isn't this all a misunderstanding? I live in London and I still say fuck London tbh.

Fuck civic pride.
