BeBop Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 "Name Three" seems pretty intimidating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connoisseur series500 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 How about the endless "What you listening to now?" or "Which Mosaic boxset are you listening to now?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 How about the endless "What you listening to now?" or "Which Mosaic boxset are you listening to now?" I've actually spent a lot of money on music I was unaware of because of those threads, so I'd have to say I'm a fan, conn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Much as I love "goofy stuff", "name three" is the one that sucks up my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 You forgot "What are you drinking, now" - which gets my vote. Or, do you mean what wastes most time in the most enjoyable way? If so, it's gotta be "Sexiest album sleeves". MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 The Dinner one but the one with the covers is pretty much of a time waster. However, some of these are akin to Twitter, which is probably pretty much of a time waster in and of itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I'd thought about including those "what are you listening to" threads. But they are music-related and sometimes of value...if people post more than just the name of the album/performer and label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I'd thought about including those "what are you listening to" threads. But they are music-related and sometimes of value...if people post more than just the name of the album/performer and label. I agree - love the thread for either getting ideas for new things or getting your mind jogged about things buried in your collection. I too prefer it when people say why they are enjoying the music. Doesn't have to be erudite or an extended essay. Just a one liner communicating enthusiasm or an interesting observation can get you curious. The "Parochial US Politics" threads seem the most time-wasting (if you are not living in America)! 'How's the weather' is time-wasting but an essential expression of British character.

jeffcrom Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I'd thought about including those "what are you listening to" threads. But they are music-related and sometimes of value...if people post more than just the name of the album/performer and label. I love those threads - when someone whose taste I respect is listening to something I don't know, or know but don't like, I know I should give that music more attention. I still might not like it, but it makes me thing that maybe there's something there I wasn't hearing. I sometimes write something about why I like the music, but at other times I just think, "Nobody wants to read my opinion." You've given me all the encouragement I need to really bore some people from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christiern Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 The ones that have Albertson stomping off, endlessly, on his political treadmill and making only left turns. Sometimes I just wanna scream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
