heya all,
I feel as though I should respond since I'm one of the people who posts
playlists to this list fairly regularly. I've been on the aj list for
three plus years, posting more regularly during some periods than others
(we all know how time stuff goes). In that time, like Leslie and I'm
sure many of you, I've sought out and picked up many brilliant records
that I may have otherwise overlooked. We've all also seen some great,
and some not so great, threads of discussion take place here. What blows
me away about this list in particular though, very much as opposed to
many other lists out there, is the passion as well as the knowledge
found here. For me, part of this is found in and reflected by the
playlists and charts that people post. If I notice that a track or album
has popped up on a few people's playlists, I'll hunt it down the same as
I would had there been a thread related to it. How 'bout all of you?
It's funny, I was writing to Mark Turner the other day that I appreciate
his private responses to my playlists posted here 'cause I was feeling a
trifle guilty that I don't have the time of late to post on many other
topics, even when I'd like to. I'm aware that some of you might not be
as interested in playlists as others, but there do seem to be an awful
lot of people who are interested, myself included.
I very much agree that 'Earn 50K' and other obvious spam has no place
here (hit delete). I also strongly agree that we should post cities in
our subject headings when writing about our respective events/gigs. But
I do think playlists are an important part of this (for the most part)
underground culture. It's a way to spread the word about music, straight
up. What do other people think? Is it time to do a list poll on posting
playlists?
'nuff for now. I'm curious to hear responses. In the meantime, thanks
again Erik for the work you put in to maintaining such a rockin' list.
