One rule. First post by an artist needs to have artist and title in it, to help avoid multiple postings of the same song by the same artist. Posts by the same artist, after, should be appended to the first by that artist, and include song title.

Oooh! Voting!
(Now I can boo! and vote - ]:) )

How is it I gave you a plus vote, and it shows zero, and I can't vote again since the vote didn't stick?

by ansugisalas

Do you think your vote could've gotten displaced to the next level down, ending up on that response of yours?
That's approximately the pattern I noticed... not that it makes any sense of course...

by michael jay

but if it takes off like some FNM Threads it could make for a lot of activity, my point being is the new site ready for rapid fire posts? It should be.

BTW, I thought that Stjepan Hauser and Luka Sulic was not so good, gave it the - vote. Gave the Righteous Bros, + vote seems someone voted that down again.

by michael jay

The total is just fine by me.

When this change over first happened you could even vote your own posts, seems that has been fixed, or broken depending on your point of view.

by ansugisalas

whoa.
And making that kind of stuff work is difficult... it's not like opera where just belting out the right notes and getting the lyrics sorta-kinda right can suffice.
Less is more, and certainly more difficult!

I see the potential for voting to lessen commentary in some instances. This kind of thread would be one of those instances.

by michael jay

you vote up or down, would people be afraid they would be voted down and not post? I play what I like and if you don't like it well whatever, someone else will vote up.

Right now it seems no one is here or are they just lurking?

by boxfiddler

that 'Thank you' posts, and other posts of that ilk, might die back. Might, mind you. Just that the potential is there.

Kinda like the 'Like' at FB. Lotta folks 'Like', but don't leave a comment.

cutting out on communication, or socialization, no talking required, just push a button.

It is the talking that made TR great, taking that down, even a notch could be a bad thing, not just here but throughout the site.

by michael jay

and to follow up on the comments above, guess I will talk and push the buttons.

So far all + but one.

by boxfiddler

Of course I had to CTRL/F. Found it. I wonder. It seems there's a lag somewhere - brief speculation between me and Ansu in the OFT. Maybe that?

Just for eclecticism.

Edit: Which reminds me. There's something 'classical' that you've posted a couple of times Nick, that I love, and can never remember what it is. You know what I'm talking about, right? :^0
[i]Either the song, or the composer, or the orchestra starts with an 'O'?

[i]replace link[i]

:^0 I'll bump into it again somewhen, and this time I'll have freaking sense enough to bookmark it, and hop over to Amazon to buy it (if it's available).

Have I told you lately, "You're the best!"?

by michael jay

Leon wrote it I think, but just for the record, Karen Carpenter did it with the sweetest voice.

Thanks.

by boxfiddler

Gods, that takes me back. Thanks for digging that up, I haven't thought of it in awhile. :D

[i]That 'O' song is gonna make me nuts. Maybe I'll wake in the middle of the morning with a Eureka moment. :^0 Hell, it probably isn't even an 'O' song, knowing how my mind works... )[/i]

by ansugisalas

... maybe on demand, like mouseovering the the total.
A post with +100 and -104 is a lot different than a post with +0 and -4...
At least the "total # votes" should be there, that'd let us do the math.

by boxfiddler

'Classical'. Maybe not technically, but that's the genre I'd assign it. And I think it may have been used for a commercial.

by nicknielsen

Five Miles Out wouldn't strike me as classical genre. Tubular Bells should be instantly recognizable.

Or did you mean Carl Orff and the Carmina Burana excerpt that everybody thinks is the whole thing?

As for classical music in commercials, I can't think of much that [u]hasn't[/u] been used at one time or another...

by nicknielsen

I'd suggest this, but while the beat is there, Chappo is definitely not chanting.

What era classical does it remind you of? Baroque? Romantic? Older? Newer?
