I Love Music
I Love Music (ILM) is an Internet popular music forum started by pop critic Tom Ewing in August 2000 as an adjunct to his music website, Freaky Trigger.[1]
Notable posters have included Momus,[2] Simon Reynolds, Philip Sherburne, Drew Daniel of Matmos and The Soft Pink Truth,[3] John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats,[4] Frank Kogan, Ned Raggett,[5] former The Wire editor Mark Sinker, former Village Voice music editor Chuck Eddy, Peter Chung (creator of Æon Flux) and Fluxblog author Matthew Perpetua.[citation needed]
I Love Music shares server space with its sister board, I Love Everything, which was introduced in June 2001.[1] Several other boards contained on the site have sprung up in the years since including All Noise Dude Summertime Fun Board and Pickle Bar, Cape of Good Hope, I Love Books, I Love Games, I Love NFL and De Subjectivisten.[6]
As of February 2007, ILX is hosted on a server (paid for by board users) in Canada. Running costs are paid by yearly funding drives.
[edit] Press coverage
Guardian Unlimited described ILM as "a hugely popular discussion board where music bloggers swap ideas and insults."[7] ILM has been mentioned in The New York Times as a "critic-infested" site.[8] Entertainment Weekly ranked ILM 14th on its list of the 25 best music websites.[9] A thread from I Love Music was published in the music writing annual Da Capo Best Music Writing 2002.[10] An ILM thread on M.I.A. was mentioned in articles about her that appeared in Slate and The Guardian.[11][12]
