well, almost all the playlists currently listed are in long vertical
lists. maybe people should create more horizontal lists :)
or like, a nice pretty table. maybe all the radioshow people should get
together and just send out some HUGE mail at the end of every week
compiling every single song played, in a multi-subject email, with a
spreadsheet attached and a nice graph showing the frequency of autechre
during any given internet hour :)
it'd definitely make playlists a lot more interesting.
i personally wonder how many of the "radioshows" are actually radio shows,
and how many are people on fast connections who feel like setting up
shoutcast servers and playing some mp3's.
i also switched from digest to normal simply from the huge volume of emails
i didn't like. i was on a 33.6 modem over the summer, and i never had a
problem with the email from this list, even when i was gone for 2 weeks and
had about 500 emails to download and delete (hehe). i just looked at the
subject and hit delete. it's the same bandwidth either way (well, ok,
there's a tiny bit more with the header information), and you have a lot
more selection. and this isn't just in relation to the playlist factor - i
would recommend the non-digest version hands down, for numerous
reasons. like, actually being able to respond :)
besides, at least playlists are on-topic, unlike this post.
buy the new tadd mullinix cd. richard devine-esque programming with real
melody! wow!

Alice could not help her lips curing up into a smile as she began:
"Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too! I
never saw one alive before!"
"Well, now that we HAVE seen each other," said the Unicorn, "if you'll
believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain?"
