How about music? What have you been listening to recently?
This is a piano forum, so I don't know if it belongs on an "anything but piano" board.

Things I've been listening to that aren't piano: Reich Different Trains, marching band music, Fong Naam, some Fleetwood Mac.

Well, this is a piano forum, so the rest of the forum will sometimes leak in to the LPW threads.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed that fairly long win.

Also, this thread is about to become the 4th-most-replied to thread on the forum when it hits 1713 posts.

Since this thread seems to have quieted down a little in recent days, here's a bit of a friendly challenge for us all: can we get 2,000 replies on this thread before LPW hits 20,000? Both of these threads are pretty close to those milestones...

We will eventually, simply because threads like this can never end. The question is if we can get 300 more posts before LPW gets 500 more.

Eh, this thread doesn't really have to stick to a specific topic; it can wander around if it wants to, even if that means encroaching on the topics of other threads.

Transitional is active a lot more than that, and also I don't really see what activity on a random internet forum has to do with how "wise" someone is.

I mean, the whole point is that most of us are going to double post on this thread, but there's also less of us on here than there are on LPW. It'll probably come down to how active orgarnic, yqx, and gasplamey are, though.

I know that that would attract no people. If someone replied to the original, than the person would win practically forever, because their not stupid enough the reply again and lose the win.
