What’s playing on your turntable…. Does anyone care?


When l was in a previous discussion l questioned the value myself if l would want to tell anyone what l was listening to. I have always wondered why do some posters feel compelled on a regular basis to tell others what’s playing on their turntable?

What makes someone want to do that? Personally l fail to see the point. So l have posted this question to others to test if there’s any curiosity value in it. What would an analyst make if it all. Is it a form of attention seeking?

l don’t mind socialising and thank you for the first reply (within 5 minutes of posting)

l don’t actually object to users posting what’s on their spinners. Just asking a question.  The answers do not have to be negative either to justify my question. I’m open minded and just curious.

If the replies prove to be too controversial l will of course take it down. If on the other hand the replies are respectful, balanced and humorous, the discussion will have served to answer many socialising questions. They may well indeed support your own specific evaluation of the subject matter.

As one who does this regularly because I love sharing the music I’m playing with like-minded people. That can turn into sharing of music previously unknown and general conversation.

@slaw 

Thats a +1 from me.

Sharing tastes is mutually beneficial particularly if the artists are not just bullet points.  Some reasons and observations add value and open up a discussion.

However if just an artist(s) name is posted on it’s own, (l have not read yours, so I’m not implying you), it is just lazy correspondence.

Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.

Getting to know you,
Putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely
My cup of tea!

Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy.
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say.

Haven’t you noticed?
Suddenly I’m bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I’m learning about you
Day by day.angel
