why are most of the threads completely NON music related? most are just shite, complete crap about TV, dreams or who does this or that.
I like to look at this board for musical views and to see whats coming up musically artist and label wise. Also reading people's views on certain types of music is good.. but i've noticed that you have to cut through so many pointless threads that it ruins the flow of things..
most of what you read here is just an extension of yahoo chat.
As i say dont get me wrong i do enjoy the musical links and when i hear so and so give a good pointer to maybe some music i havent experianced. but it thought the idea of a music forem was about music??

yah that's the downside of having just one messageboard. that's how xltronic wants it though, so you'll just have to keep on sifting through pages of crap (some of which is funny, admit it :P)

you can't found a community only on music talk. there has to be babbling, otherwise i would not know anything of anybody here except their tastes, which is a bit little

sdrocer_eta browse browse the thread archive, an i'm sure you will find a BUNCH of music related things, so if you have something you would like to now and didn't found something in the archive, start one. the peoples here already know everything they want to know yet.

The "misc" thread in every community is often the largest. I don't like to talk about music all the time, but this site is great since you can shoot the breeze with like-minded people.

the mu boards seems to keep at least 80% music though. why not here??
plus a few have said search but my point is its nice to discover new music, so how do you do a search for that if you dont know what your looking for..

you can only say so much about this musician or that untill it's all been said hundreds of times.
chill out. if you don't like the non music threads, don't look at them, pretend they don't exist, what ever.

because there is less talk on mu.
music talking is interesting as long as you have something to talk about but people tend to hang around all day here and the hundreth aphex topic simply doesn't do it. i just had a great time reading through the vagina thread;)

just make a thread asking for recommendations.
Planet Mu is different - its a lot smaller, and the people who come there seem to be of the older type, which makes a difference, me thinks.

its just a case of wading through the threads, not much else you can do.
i know what you mean though, its a bitch finding a thread you want to read just by looking at the titleof the thread.
everyone seems to give each thread a mad title. but most of the threads of music just usuall y have the name of the track and band anyway, so its a case of being able to blank all the mad titled threads and looking at the well titled threads.

i would post music related info/opinions on all music threads if i could, but i havent heard all the music mentioned (id be surprised if anyone here has heard every song be every artist that gets mentioned here)....and many music threads are about peoples own music, their new songs and equpiment..and i never get involved there coz i dont make music and it leaves me confused, and i dont really want to hear other peoples music, no offence to anyone here....

Without wanting to be rude (and I genuinely don't), I'd say that if you want a "purer" music forum, look elsewhere -- because messageboards just settle into "grooves" and it's difficult to change that.

but i think the search function locates words IN the threads, so i think you could find things you are looking for, when it comes to NEW tunes its a totally different thing. If you can visit the site regular its not too much of a task to wade though a couple of pages of threads, but if you're new or only can visit rarely (like me:() it can be a bitch to just see 1000s of threads in front of you not knowing whats what.
i think its just life, you know, not much we can do about it, we're all a bunch of fuckin loons anyway.

my point is we have all discussed autechre to death and aphex and BoC and most of the biggerr name's, but if people make thrreads people will rreply they just aint compelled to starrt one themselves.
they exist, just few and farr between.

True, this is a music-board... you keep repeating that, as if you're trying to say: "if you want to talk about other things, do so in other mb's."
But the reason i feel at home here is because everyone (more or less) has the same taste in music. Liking idm is what binds us all, but then it's just fun to talk about other things too. Actually most of my favourite discussions i've had here were non-music related :-) Idm also seems to attract a certain type of people (like myself), which is probably also a reason i like so many of this mb's members. On other messageboards i always feel like an alien... different from everybody else.
I also like how threads can change sometimes... it starts with a post about a specific artist, and 40 posts later the thread has turned into something completely different. I just love the fact that it doesn't have to be exclusively about music in here. If idm was all we ever talked about, i'm sure i wouldn't have stuck around here for as long as i have.
And i agree monoid didn't make his point very subtle ;-), but still i do agree with him. If you're searching for a serious music-mb, where everyone exclusively talks about music... than this is probably not the right place to look for it.

excellent point, by the way! :-)
Really, it pleases me to see someone say that. There is usually a sort of more-more-more-atmosphere in here (for instance, if you mention you just bought a new record, you'll quickly get 100's of suggestions for albums you'll also like and must buy).
There's alot to be said for taking the time to enjoy a piece of music. Perhaps listening to less records more often, is better than listen to more records less often. Ehr... sounded a bit confusing, but you know what i mean ;-)
