The Rough Guide to having too much time on your hands

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

Spent a little time the other day tidying up the gargantuan Rough Guide index I compiled from three ILM threads in which people submit compilations of whatever nature they felt like doing or were necessary.

It's a (potentially) great portal and I only wish it could take you straight to the tunes themselves - but then again part of the fun is 'catching them all'. Truth be told I still haven't sat down and assembled any of these myself, not even the ones I contributed (about 30 or so), but like I say, the potential remains.

The guide continues to be updated and modified. Some sort of wikipedia style open-contribution system for it would be cool (but then all too easily abused perhaps).

I remember finding this really hard to do - either I became uncomfortably aware of HOLES where there should not be HOLES in my memory/awareness/collection, or I just had such a surfeit of goodness to choose from (eg Golden Age of R&B) that I simply couldn't narrow it down.

A Rough Guide to Grime would probably a) be totally ace and b) not have that much left over to be honest, though.
