Default Interest Check: The MB Members Music Week Showcase

Here's yet another idea from the mind that brought you ... well, it's not important what I brought you, what threads sunk or were laughed off the site. The point is, this might actually be good. Maybe.

The proposal is that for one week, one particular member is allowed and encouraged to post his or her favourite music exclusively, talk about it, show us what they listen to and what they like. During that one week, nobody else should be able to post music in the thread, unless it complements the music posted by the active member. For example: elphenor is the active member and posts, say, The Tubes, and Frownland says "that's dope, check out these" and posts a similar band. Well kind of. We'll work it out.

The point is that the active member should have the lion's share of the music posting, and everyone else should be commenting on it, and maybe even listening to it. For that week, that member has control, so you have basically a "What Are You Listening To Now?" thread, but concentrating on only one member.

Why? Well, I find that some people here may not get to post or show us what kind of music they're interested in, often from a fear of it being ignored, or lost among the slew of postings in the usual threads. This would be a chance for those who don't usually post their music to do so, and hopefully get some feedback, be it positive or negative. Of course, nothing is stopping those who bombard the forum with music joining up either.

No real rules, you'll be glad to hear, Batty. First signup goes first and so on, and I'm prepared to exempt myself, so that this doesn't just come across as an excuse to post my own music.

So, is anyone interested?

A week long homework assignment where I'm basically just talking to myself? No thanks.

We barely talk about each others albums in the forum member showcase thread. This probaby won't help. Good idea. But I don't see many people posting about their albums.

He meant music you listen to not music you make.

One of these days I'd like to do a Beatles thread or even a Garage Rock one. I'm holding off on the Beatles in case Pet Sounds would come back (we were going to do a joint Beatles project). Yeah, I'd be interested.

I wouldn't look forward to doing a week long exercise of being ignored and/or mocked for whatever music I'd choose to talk about. Sounds like a miserable time. Nice try though.

Oh. Don't we have specific artist threads for that. Why talk about them in this thread as well? Seems more work than its worth.

Today, I woke up and did some exercises while listening to Private Idaho and Strobe Light by The B-52s. I'm about to listen to Baka Guy by Shonen Knife. Maybe I'll go nuts and spin Flying Jelly Attack, too.
