ME! ME! ME! ME!
This thread is about ME!!!!!

:)

Ok seriously, here's a suggestion...every week, or every 2 weeks, or every
month, one of you DJs (club or radio) or anyone really who's up for it,
make a 45-60 minute podcast of
any tunes they think would float our boat, then they'd put the podcast
online, announce it on this list, and we'll be free to comment...How bout
it?

I love that chart...

Once again the problem is that most folks (me included) are only making
posts about themselves as opposed to having actual conversations.
If there were more conversations then the volume of postings would increase
and the trend would be reversed.

I think that this list would be a very enjoyable and powerful thing because
of the sheer amount of musical knowlege here.

In my opinion, we should figure out a way to make that happen collectively

  It's time for the chart again, what appears to be an exponential decline
in posts:

  In the month of July 2001 there were over 900 posts, and in December
2005 there were 43, a decrease of 95% - and that's in a traditionally busy
month when everyone puts up their 'best of the year' compilations.

  I don't know what the solution is. It's a viscious circle because if
there is no discussion, the list won't come up in any searches on the net,
and no-one new people will join the list. Also, the playlists, as good as
they are, will be a turnoff if they make up 99% of the traffic on the
mailing list. In December 2005 there were no discussion posts at all.

  Here's my playlist for the mo:

  Madvillain- Madvillainy
  Bit late on this one but it's a top LP!

  Alex Smoke- Never want to see you again
  Good stuff, has anyone heard the whole album?

  Earl Sixteen- Black on Black
  Top reggae tune

  Eek a Mouse- Wild like a Tiger
  Would appreciate any other Eek a Mouse tips!

  That's four anyway. Also, I've got a track I need IDing, wonder if anyone
can help? It's a vocal version of 'Red Clay' by Freddie Hubbard, but the
singing is done entirely as a chorus and it may be an all-female one.
Production sounds kind of late 70s or early 80s, the most similar sounding
version I've heard is by Mark Murphy, however it isn't him and it's not
Phil Bailey- there's no male solo singing at all. Has all the trumpet parts
of other versions, and a good deal of the track is given over to piano too.
Any ideas?

  Cheers

  Carl

  In looking at the responses to my "Last 5" question I noted the diversity
in the musical selections. Given my knowlege of the people here on this
mailing list that is no surprise to me. I remember back to previous times
when someone has complained about the lack of conversation on this mailing
list, one of the reasons stated was that...

  "people are too busy promoting themselves to engage in conversation
here..."

  So I decided to take a visit over to the Acid Jazz Server website which
our man Erik B maintains over at the following url:
  http://www.cmd.uu.se/AcidJazz/Radio/

  It seems to me that we should be able to figure out a way to do something
with it together, that would benifit everyone here.
  10 years ago when I first joined this mailing list, there was lots of
conversation. One of the reasons for that was because this was one of the
few places that existed where those types of discussions could occur.

  Today the internet is vastly different than it was 10 years ago. There
are almost too many places to talk about music.
  As a result musical discussion has become splintered and somewhat
irrelevant, as now most musical discussion is really just thinly disguised
"advertising" for a product.

  Any other thoughts, ideas or potential action items?
