In fact you can't draw a line between the chat threads and the music threads, really - dig around a bit and you will see that one sort turns into each other.

You get someone saying about how something makes them feel bad or good, and someone else comes back with a song that seems to tie in with that, and someone else asks a question about the song, or talks about some variant they came across.

I'd hate to see an attempt to break it down anyway - what keeps this site sane as well as interesting is that the two sides of it balance out each other. Yin and Yang or something

It's like the chat you get between songs or tunes in a session - they might be about the music itself, they might be about the ideas suggested by the words of a song, they might be about some personal criusis, or politics, or religion, or weather... And then someone sets off another tune or song.

In any case, how would you define this thread?
