Also, someone mentioned Radcliffe and The Redwalls, and I'm sure he found it independently, but i know i was a big proponent of them too. I just gave up trying to turn anyone onto anything. After 8 years of having any band thread I start sink like a stone, it's like, why bother?

Actually, my discovery of the Redwalls was all thanks to you, PoD.

Huh, go figure.

Now you're gonna get my hopes up again, I'm gonna recommend more stuff, and it'll sink to page 27.

What a vicious cycle.

Oh and thanks for turning me onto Ike Reilly, who ironically is from my hometown.

i guess that's more concidental than ironic, but it feels ironic having a canadian on the west coast turn me onto a musician in my parent's suburban hell.

All music threads sink fast, unless they get tangled up in the great/sucks dynamic.

Generally, it has been the extremes that generate a reactionary feedback mechanism propelling a thread forward into multi-page discussion.

gotcha.

hmmm... so the one extreme is to toss out anything you sort of kind of like but most of that will sink to the bottom. The other option is to try and exercise some quality control and post less, but that will also sink to the bottom. Combine the first of those with consistent inflammatory remarks and you will maybe turn some people onto some good music.

I think i get it.

Or intro every album as THE BEST ALBUM EVER. That'll start the ball rolling.

Sprinkle in some personal attacks on anyone who disagrees if things don't take off fast enough.

man, there's a lot, though I'm having trouble thinking of more than a few at the moment.

ayah for the Pernice Brothers.

twilightkid for Grizzly Bear.

When I said I was seeing a show opened by Elvis Perkins, Aural said I would like him and now I love him.

puma for the Knife.

That's not to say he has the worst taste on the board (which could be another thread)

I bet I'd have regular nominations in that thread.
