They will just listen to that one song, but they won't listen to the whole album anyway. If a few songs are dripped in a few people might commit

I don't know if this is the best tourney idea, but I could certainly go for some tourney action.

I can understand the editing - I threw all sorts of shit into those mixes!
I discovered lots of stuff through them also. Most rewarding.

Sorry trag, wasn't trying to rain on your idea. I like the idea very much, I just wonder about the execution in practice. It's genuinely very difficult to get most of the crew here to actually listen to anything they aren't already familiar with, at least by association.

I've got an idea that may work, Trag. I'll post it soon.

I'd be interested in this, or some sort of tourney of new mixes
How would it work?

I like the original idea. It's not like there's a time constraint here.

I like both ideas, in honesty, though I'm also quite supportive of resurrecting Lament's mixtape review. By the way, Trag, what did you find so confounding about that intro post anyway?

Another way is similar to Laments song thread. Just upload an album and do a write up and all that can be bothered or have the time to listen can chime in. And then when that's exhausted someone else can start a new discussion.

Ah, yeah, I can definitely see that. I don't use iTunes for anything other than ripping CDs, and that's only because I can't be bothered to find something that's better at that.
