Petty Music Board GRIPE

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

When someone starts a thread "Which one track..." or "Which is your favourite..." asking for just a single thing -

and loads of people go, oh oh, I can't just pick one, it's so hard.

Like their supreme enthusiasm and eclecticism is so boundless, the idea of favourite is an insufferable stricture.

hey hold on, NOBODY WILL CARE TWO SECONDS AFTER THEY READ IT LEAST OF ALL YOU.

(Sorry)

"Guys! Girls! Which ONE THING about music boards do you dislike THE MOST! I've been thinking about it myself and I just can't seem to pick one! It's SO HARD" (Sorry--most unfunny gag EVER!!)

I've been guilty of doing that. IRL tho, where it is a bit more acceptable i.e. no time to properly come up with a response before the askers gets bored and wanders off. People who post about their indecision have less of an excuse, but it's possible that they really can't think of just one? :)

I think it's the researcher in me that gets annoyed to be honest.

isn't it a kind of performer vanity?

viz actually i don't much care hence if i contribute i want it to make the most provocative comedy waves possible but OH OH WHAT WOULD THAT BE?

(in which case, performer vanity combined with lack of performer professionalism)
