There used to be people here who would get excited about such a thread, but most of them disappeared.
I'd be interested in a Canterbury thread, Tore! In fact, I just learned of "Canterbury" music last week, I think, in the shoutbox while talking music with Anteater and Unchained Ballad. This is unfortunately a pretty one-sided music exchange and consists of me asking them for music suggestions, since I don't know a lot of music and thus have little to offer back, but I enjoy listening to and commenting on the songs for which they provide links, and they don't seem to mind offering them to me. It's a great way for me to listen to music I might never have considered...and is a nice way to get to know people a little better. So, start your "Canterbury" thread and I'll listen!

Well said, duga.
