You kids might not be exited by links to music downloads, but this is obviously a legal site.

Sanchez, you should have posted that in a separate thread so we could have voted separatly for the two WS shows. Everything must be binary and votable as Jane says.

Well, I’m not much into that binary world. I prefer discussions. Everything is not that like or diss simple. Not even 7-out-of-10-stars simple.

... and I guess that the most vivid threads here will end up in the Hot Stuff tab, so that the threads with a lively discussion will reach people, not only those with many votes, right?

Sanchez, you should have posted that in a separate thread about voting and discussing on like/diss. You are not on topic anymore.

Sorry, I can never stay on the subject. But anyway, its much easier to examplify this within the context of a “real” thread, not just on a like/diss meta thread that no one bothers to read about. You’ll always get the best flame wars when you leave the original subject :-/

Radioheads 1997 Glastonbury performance is also available on the same site:

Radionhead did a real groundbreaking thing with the release of their Rainbows album last year. It was out as a DRM-free download long before you could buy it physically and you were allowed to set the price yourself from zero and up.

There is an interesting interview with Tom York and David Byrne in Wired about it:

That articel is not an interview _with_ David Byrne. It is David Byrne that is interviewing Tom. Thats the interesting thing about it.

Hold on kids, now we are really of the topic and no one can vote for anything. One thread about each topic. This one contains stuff about the Stripes, about like/diss voting, about online discussions, about digital downloads, about Radiohead and an article in Wired.

Common Jane, now we’re getting somewhere, and we have a real interesting discussion here for the first time with a lot of nice recommendations and links in one place. And guess what, we are at the top of the Hot Stuff list:

I “like” this thread, not because I like white stripes and that kind of primitive music but because I like Sanchez.

@Brody, you should start a Sanchez thread :-)

Whats the deal with the Hot Stuff toplist? Some threads there have many comments like this on, but some have just a few. And the ones with many comments are not always ranked higher than those with fewer ones.

The Hot Stuff list is currently an aggregation of the activity in threads on the last seven days. We hope to add other date ranges for the top lists soon.

OK, why don’t get back to the White Stripes topic and watch this astonishing video with a cover on the Dolly Parton hit Jolene.

It is just incredible how this two person combo can squeeze that kind of power out of almost any song.

Even better take here.

I prefer Dolly:

... and I’ll give up.

Jack White should really produce Dollys next record. That would be cred for Dolly and I bet it will be a hell of an album.

Jack did a good job producing Loretta Lynn’s album Van Lear Rose in 2004.

Apart from being a musician and producer, he did a quite good work acting and writing the soundtrack to Cold Mountain. Be hind the scenes and clips from the movie with Jack White:

I’m not really sure what I vote for, but this thread was damned entertaining to (try to) follow.

And when it’s as long as this, it could do with a good old fashioned link to TOP here down by where you write your new comment.

You have it already Bejbeje, it’s Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End if you are on Win or Ubuntu. Don’t know about the Mac though.

Jane, what’s the big deal about Sanchez staying on the subject, really? We can’t force members to create binary topics only, not the way we’ve set up like/diss anyway.

Fuzzy topics like this may make it to the Hot Stuff which is mainly about forum activity and not that much about preferences (as this thread did). And if someone wants to compare this concert to another, there’s nothing stopping anybody from creating a new Thing for that concert and even refer to it from a comment on the first one, similar to what Bjebeje did on Lou Reed: http://www.likediss.com/things/view/522

I think that people votes primarily relate to the Thing name and the first comment.

So, binary things will end up on the Most Liked/Dissed lists while fuzzy things like this will be found among the Hot Topics.

At least that is what I believe. And until proven wrong, I won’t waste time on trying to enforce any other behavior.
