@hawaiiboy hoping that when @manton finishes book shelf - images will be part of the post shares - so that when he extends to music and film - these posts become soooooo great … and just like this one.
Good album BTW
@JohnPhilpin @manton if there’s somewhere to share music, I’m all over it. I read very few books these days, but listen to music every day
@hawaiiboy I think @manton is still thinking about extending to music and movies - but to me is a no brainer 😀
@hawaiiboy @johnphilpin It might be that music needs a slightly different interface… Less about organization and more about quickly blogging a song you’re listening to.
@manton again it’s all about use cases - here are some others ….
Best ALBUMS IN ‘my’ opinion ‘you’ all should take a listen to.
Same for singers, bands, decades, countries of origins etc.
If you like ‘this performer’ - take a listen to these.
Great movie soundtracks. (Movie overlaps)
Movies you shouldn’t watch if you read the book. (Book / Movie overlap)
Etc
Personally generally not interested in random posts about what that person is listening to unless I have context as to what else they listen to …. A book - album makes more sense because it’s a larger piece of work
Again - not saying people shouldn’t post ‘songs I’m listening to’ … but to me the point of this process is to allow wider understanding - find more relevant things I might enjoy …. Build stronger relationships with other micro bloggers …
@Pilchuck I also think in terms of albums usually, but my dad, (that’s much older than you), thinks in terms of singles. Personally I usually post a song from an album that I really like, and then the song that I like the most from that album, or that reflects how I feel, or is a commentary on current affairs.
@odd same with my dad .. albums as an entity that we focussed on prolly started 67 … through to 80 - if those were formative years .. probably what you think of as a ‘music unit’
@JohnPhilpin I grew up listening to my mum and dad’s many singles, and a few LP’s and then many spool tapes, (are they called that?), and it was first when i was about 12 in 1981 that i began buying cassette tapes, (mostly blanks, to record from the radio), and about the same time I started listening a lot to Radio Luxembourgh, (MW, 1440 MHz), and when I was 14, I started buying LP’s. The first album I bought was High Voltage by AC/DC.
@hawaiiboy I used to have several CDs with Arthur Lyman, and also a CD called Music from the South Pacific with a beautiful version of “Kaimana Hila” on it. 🏝 Now it’s mostly streaming for me. @johnphilpin
@odd spool = reel to reel?
Similar path to mine - sans listening to the ‘rental unit’s collection … eventually digested some of them - but not the majority
@hawaiiboy … friend of mine - Tom Conway - often plays with him on Maui / not sure if he goes to Big Island
