If I was an FW of the Music conf, I'd...

A place for suggestions about the direction of this conf. Doesn't seem to
be an unfrozen item at the start, so this is so I can enter such a suggestion.
|
| 50 responses total. |

Bonus point to whoever "gets" the title of this (in a music quote sense, that
is).

One thing that I suggested in another conf. which turned out to be a Very Cool
Thing was putting some useful item numbers in the conference header. So if
recent/important items were listed, by item number, I could just waltz in,
do a "r xxx nor" using the "xxx" item number from the header list to enter
my response. I'd put in the current "Music to Conference By" item, plus some
other recent movers or other items where somebody might come up with a new
CD/concert review. Otherwise I have to either depend on somebody else having
entered a response or doing a browse to find the item number.

Let's make Scott a fairwitness. Only one of the current four is
terribly active.

The "useful items" thing is a good suggestion, provided someone is updating
it. Mentions of upcoming shows in the header could be interesting too (along
the lines of the MOOTD), but that could be a bit excessive for some people's
taste.

Nor does the Cowardly Lion song, quite, which was going to be my guess.

Sounds like that Zappa song... "If I was her father, I'd..." Something
like that.

re: the title of #0, my guesses were If I had a hammer, or whatever the
name of the Peter Paul and Mary song is, or El Condor Pasa (Id rather
be a hammer than a nail, yada yada yada).

I think the problem is that there're are just too many "If I was" songs..

I take it the "useful and active items" list is intended less to
serve as a guide for new users and more to guilt us regulars into
using more than one item?

resp:2 resp:20 Good God. *frown* I don't think I quite like this.
Labeling an item 'useful and active' seems so.. clinical and
detatched. I will concede the "Music To Conference By" item is quite
active, but it's not necessarily useful to us poor non-local folks who
don't have home desktop PCs so we can Grex while listening to music, or
are at school and don't have access to something going via RealAudio.
I also feel like the hard work I put in with various items is just
faded and gone now. Perhaps it's true what was said earlier: more
Grexers are interested in computers than they are music as a hobby and
a profession. =(
