This is not a music thread is it? A good rule, which is unfortunately not kept to often enough, is that non-music threads ought to have a prefix such as BS indicating that they are non-music. Such as this thread does not have.

As has been pointed out repeatedly when this kind of point gets made, most of the threads on the Mudcat are music threads, as is always the case. It just so happens that the non music threads tend to rise to the top of the page, because they tend to involve more disputativeness.

So if it's music you want, use the scroll bar and head to the bottom of the page. There are always threads about music which are vanishing away when they still have the potential to develop into the kind of discussions and explorations that are the best thing about the Mudcat. You know thebones in which one song leads to another, and people come up with explanations and arguments aboiut explanations, and stories about songs and the people who made them emerge and get put on the record.

The problem, insofar as there is a problem, is not that there are too many non-music threads, it's that not enough people use the music threads imaginatively.
