My only contention is that there are other lists for discussing other music.
To be honest, I switched off the digest version of this list, and onto
individual messages, and it seemed like the signal-to-noise ratio grew
exponentially. So I'll be switching back, because the volume (in all senses
of the word) is lower. There's a lot of noise on this list, and I'm still
adding to it.
So, then, anyone want to discuss the relative merits of Plaid's remix of
Bjork's "All is Full of Love" ?
