ambient Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Not our personal music, but music that we come across ? We are all musicians after all, and probably listen to an awful lot of it between us over the course of a week. There's so much music out there, probably more than there has ever been before at any point in history. The problem is finding it. I've come across a couple of guys on here due to my particular tastes in music, they've just been chance things, and we exchange PM's etc. So it maybe be a way to make new friendships ? I personally discovered 2 great new ambient music composers yesterday, the guy who's my dissertation supervisor introduced them to me. Edited November 21, 2014 by ambient Quote
KevB Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Isn't there a long running 'what are you listening to now?' thread? Quote

JamesTun Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Been listening to a lot from the band "Cameo", renowned for the song Word Up. But they also did the beat for the Beastie Boys song which I forget the name. Nonetheless I never knew that Cameo did this song "Shake your pants". Quote

Any future posts to the topic will thus be brought to your attention. Hope this helps. Quote

Tap on notifications and it won't load, it just hangs. I've never been able to access the list on the mobile site...and i don't want email notifications they just clog up my in box. Even on the desktop site the notification list can take ages to load. (and that's on a mac, pc using various browsers, the experience is the same). Quote
