the top of the board - https://www.democraticunderground.com/1034140274 - that people can always post more than one song in an OP or add more in their own replies to their OP. That happens a lot here anyway, especially when posting about one artist. I've sometimes done it when posting different versions/covers of the same song.

I'm not suggesting, either, that people who want to post a number of songs have to limit themselves to one mega-OP. But it's an option.

For instance, I posted an OP last night about Xander and the Peace Pirates, a very good young British band whose frontman, also a brilliant guitarisr, was born without a lower right arm. I had an article on them from a guitar magazine, a video of a BBC feature story on their frontman, and three music videos. Could have posted those in multiple OPs, and maybe gotten more attention by taking all those spaces on the board, but it made more sense to post them in one OP - https://www.democraticunderground.com/1034140374 - and left more room for others.

OK, can we make this monthly thing? Some nights I get on a roll and post like, 14 music threads. Then disappear for OAITW r.2.0 Feb 2025 #11
No, we can't make it monthly, because people often look at only the first page of the board, highplainsdem Feb 2025 #12
