i'm not even sure if there's a thread here dedicated to my idols like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson or even Aretha Franklin.

and i'm pretty sure that if i make a thread for them, those punk/metal/rock fans are going to post and shout hate at it. that's why i always opt to just post on the more social topics because i can't get any decent music discussion that I LIKE that anyone wants to even talk about.

Pretty sure there would be an Aretha Frnaklin thread as shes one of the greats of soul singing. I'm not big on pop music in general, but i kinda like Kelly Clarkson, shes kinda bubbly and cute and certainly does sing well enough.

Personally, I think it's a brilliant idea. Especially introducing rules. I'd be happy to partake when I can.

Should we give people longer to listen and review the album selected as well? Two weeks to one month? Perhaps people would be more comfortable with a longer deadline.

FETCHER. · 06-23-2011, 07:23 PM

Yeah. I think the one week rule is too short which is often why I dOnt participate. The fact it's in general music is much more encouraging because anyone could submit an entry. Rather than genre weeks, which I personally don't take part in because it's never my kind of music.

Paedantic Basterd · 06-23-2011, 07:27 PM

We could take theme suggestions too, ranging from genre to title to concept. I'm thinking that every 2 weeks is good; a nice balance between not giving enough time, and giving far too much.

FETCHER. · 06-23-2011, 07:29 PM

What are you waiting for? I personally won't take part if it's made now because I'm committed to two weeks in Mexico! But I'd definitely take part after that.

I'm asking around to see if anybody else has a great idea or two to contribute. I've already started work on the content.

Maybe you could make the rules slightly looser and introduce a banter element to it, this is a very rough idea but; any member can private any member of their choosing with an album title and a two line prediction of the persons reaction to the album, can be serious or faux serious and satirical, the person then either listens to the album and posts their own review (in a created thread) OR if they dont want to partake they simply post the persons predicted reaction and under write a quick jokey apology to the forum for being lazy.

this way I think people might get to know other people a little through the forced personal interaction, it could be fun, it is not so terribly extra time consuming. getting to know members on this forum can be tough, i guess I have been posting here for about 3 months and dont really have any personal relationships with people here to note. Don't get me wrong this is not a criticism of anybody here and admittedly I am not the reach out type much. I guess I could be woefully boring but I generally try to explain my opinions in a balanced manner and try to be non confrontational. This might give people a chance to get to know something. Great barometer of the intentions of new people joining if a mod immediatly suggests they review an album so as to start the process, when you have been given somethng to review you have to send something to another member. if you get too many albums piling up we can think of a way to deal with that.

Longwinded boring post..............over!

Oh and on the virgin debacle, no offense but you do seem like the sort of guy who wouldnt be too excited about browsing a record store for a few hours with no intention of buying and I think a lot of people here are of the opposite type

We actually have an alternative thread which runs much along the lines you described, and it was very successful for a couple of months. I would like to see that one come back to popularity as well. If you're interested, it's the Recommend Something to Someone They Don't Listen to but May Like (paraphrased) thread in General.

Don't feel bad about not having relationships, I've been posting for (what, 9?) months, without building much for friendships.
