  attitude counts. we are well advised to be aware of our own attitudes and strive for the best and ignore other people's ignorance.

  Diversity in music is one of the things that makes music special. There is something for everyone. I believe that if a person likes the sound of a chair squeeking, then to that person, that sound is music. Somewhere, someone probably has recorded chairs squeeking, and tried to sell it as music. It's not for me, but I don't have to like it or buy it. I do think that it'd be interesting to talk to the "artist" and the "fan" of it. Still, I do get irritated at hordes of fans that buy some types of commercial music and they think "it's the best and everything else sucks." I don't know if it's their music or their attitude that irritates me more, but I'm trying to be tolerant.

  maybe knowbody knows it, but this is the most "elitist" group on last.fm. as a rule, things which really and truly are <xxx> often are not declared so.

  thanks for your comment. well, if we study the charts carefully and my statements, too, we might come to the conclusion : 1. radiohead is not top 10 - and this is my declared goal, nothing else, and it's achieved. no need to ban members. 2. last.fm shows a whole sequence of 1 times played artists as #11. radiohead appears in line 500 or so. what's the point ? seems that my friend listened a track of them last week. i don't care. once again : i won't tolerate that mainstream artists stay in the top 10 of the charts of those groups i lead that set high standards in their purpose including this group. this doesn’t hold for each and every group because i don’t reject members because of radiohead in their library that wouldn’t be fair. i just want to make sure that my avant-garde and excellence groups sustain quality. sorry if i couldn't make this clear enough before.

  Only two of you so far and Radiohead in at no 11 !!! Got to be more careful here I think. If not then time to call in the Karma Police? So, what was that about banning members Alec ?
