No recs, except my own. But I was sure it was a compelling song, sigh.

(I normally don't beg for recs or anything, just answering your question with a possible reason why people might post more obviously popular music than posting something special but more obscure and feel ignored when no one else seems to like it.)

I'd really appreciate it if people in Music Appreciation would limit themselves to a maximum of 10 OPs a day. [View all] highplainsdem Feb 27 OP

Seems reasonable. Nt BootinUp Feb 27 #1

Thanks! I was hoping it would. highplainsdem Feb 27 #4

The fewer you post, the more serious your posts seem. rubbersole Feb 27 #2

Understandable response. highplainsdem Feb 27 #5

I put people on ignore if they post too much pwb Feb 27 #3

I hope you make an exception for LBN, for the people posting the news stories there. highplainsdem Feb 27 #6

Anyone on ignore still shows up on the Front page pwb Feb 27 #7

OK, can we make this monthly thing? Some nights I get on a roll and post like, 14 music threads. Then disappear for OAITW r.2.0 Feb 28 #11

No, we can't make it monthly, because people often look at only the first page of the board, highplainsdem Feb 28 #12

Whatever. I'm disappointed that you think posting in MA is a problem,. Don't like. Don't click. OAITW r.2.0 Feb 28 #13

Posting in MA isn't a problem. Posting so many OPs in one day that your OPs take up a large chunk of highplainsdem Feb 28 #14

Re your saying you had 15 more lined up - you usually post no more than 10 OPs a day, max, not 25. I just went highplainsdem Feb 28 #15

I looked back to your older MA threads, from last fall, and saw that you did post 15-25 threads on highplainsdem Feb 28 #16

Took a few days off to recalibrate. OAITW r.2.0 Mar 4 #39

Sure. It's good to see you back. highplainsdem Mar 4 #40

I love your choices. Bookmark many of them. jls4561 Mar 1 #26

Thanks! I'm trying not to be too restrictive. highplainsdem Feb 28 #18

I can do that. Swede Feb 28 #19

Thank you! highplainsdem Feb 28 #20

Seriously. And why so many old pop songs that everyone here has heard a thousand times already ?? nt eppur_se_muova Feb 28 #21

Thanks! Re the old songs - there are a lot of them here because they bring back good memories, and highplainsdem Mar 1 #22

Well ..... I posted one that I'm pretty sure is NOT in that bucket. RandomNumbers Mar 4 #55

Please. How about all those cross posted OPs? How about all those OPs that contain nothing more than ... marble falls Mar 1 #27

??????????? As far as cross-posts, highplainsdem Mar 1 #28

I've never had that many question marks before. If I were wearing my glasses I'd have counted them ... marble falls Mar 1 #29

I suggest opening a MA window, than a DU Discussion window. Play my selections and read the news. OAITW r.2.0 Mar 4 #41

I try to do that with two windows but then I have to break back and forth to cue up. If it just played a feed of ... marble falls Mar 4 #46

Why are we singling out Massachusetts? lastlib Mar 2 #33

I know you meant that as a joke, and I enjoyed it, but I just edited the thread title so there's no chance highplainsdem Mar 2 #35

Seems a little weird to restrict posts IrishBubbaLiberal Mar 4 #42

No one's stopping you from sharing music, as long as you keep in mind that we're sharing a highplainsdem Mar 4 #43

I have other things to do anyway. Figarosmom Mar 4 #44

Wouldn't putting multiple songs in a thread do the same thing? I agree it's nice to have the ads cut highplainsdem Mar 4 #45

Why couldn't we put all the news in one big post? marble falls Mar 4 #48

You know that isn't comparable. highplainsdem Mar 4 #49

You know I am exagerating to make my point: there isn't a poster here that doesn't wish at least ... marble falls Mar 4 #54

good point! marble falls Mar 4 #47

How about posting the songs in one big OP?... MiHale Mar 4 #51

Yes. I mentioned in a few of the replies above, and in the addition to the guidelines pinned to highplainsdem Mar 4 #52
