interesting stat Geir........what does it all mean.

Oh, yeah on the songs vs recordings idea, when I come on here I like to listen to recordings of songs, but conversely, if I went out in my city to listen to music I would much rather listen to songs that are not recorded.  In this way I think that recordings are good in one sense and songs good in another.  Then there are recordings made of people performing songs, like the latest JK basement tapes, so that gives us another category, performance.  Why not create threads for songs, recordings and performances, this gives a lot of variation.  Then the member performed songs, or the member recorded performance....wait, what about songs about recording, I have done one of two of those, and I even recorded them, so that is recordings about songs about recordings.....I like the ring of that.  This is really cool when you look at all the ways we can break this all down......my pathological need for categories is starting to rear its ugly head here.....

and in the performance category could go all the live type recordings, bands, plug and play stuff, one-take backing track jams, those are really more about the performance than structuring or composing music, that is really the nature of the backer challenges, plug in and capture a performance.  I think I am on to something..........why not have a category for performances.

Thats it exactly Geir, and like you say also band practices, live shows, the latest JK recordings, all that kind of thing. ....backing track jams, solo singing, one take sing and acoustic songs, etc....... I believe that that stuff should have its own board.........we have come up with a good idea here tonight Geir.  great minds like ours should work together more often, for good man, lets use our powers only for good.

....but would that stuff in the Performance board be songs or recordings, or neither, or both?  and like we said earlier, you could certainly have a performance of a song about recording.
