poptimistsThings!
THING THE FIRST: I has a tumblr: http://meserach.tumblr.com/ I am given to understand that many of you also have tumblrs! We should totally follow each other and such. So, post your tumblr in the comments and I'll follow you. (I also has a twitter, and the same applies there: http://twitter.com/meserach)
THING THE SECOND: I will shortly,(hopefully later today depending on my level of amazingness) be starting a new Organised Fun thing for Poptimists which I am electing to call Theme Songs. The idea is, like when I asked you all for the best songs about telephones, we assembled, communally, a playlist of the best songs on a particular theme, e.g.
Best Songs About Creative Revenge On An Ex
Best Songs About Persuading A Person That Their Current Sexual Partner Is Inferior To Yourself
and so on and so forth.
What I am unsure about is what would be most fun to do with the playist once assembled. We can share the playlist itself around, put it on Spotify and such, but I am unsure whether it would be better to also:
a) stick all the songs in the playlist into one ticky megapoll a la all our other polls so we can vote for the "best" - this is fun obviously but also a bit vanilla and people may be ticked-out?
b) have a set up more like the League of Pop thing you guys did a while back where an individual listens to the whole list and rates the songs - this perhaps should be combined with a structure whereby the person who nominated the song which is chosen as best then gets to pick next week's theme.
So um; opinions?

I like the idea of a 'winner' that gets to pick next week's theme.

I've definitely neglected the community here on LiveJournal, so more discussion on Tumblr would be great!

Both tumblr and twitter periodically screw up the feeds, however, so don't stop checking lj.
