The Music Banter Members' Journals Monthly Update Thread

Screen13 · 07-26-2013, 07:58 AM

I plan to return to this soon. Researching on Exploitation Movies that played in Detroit took up a lot of my leisure time the last few weeks - always was a fan of those films and found a place that had a crapload of Microfilm.

In a way, I started my blog as something as a tribute to Cut Outs, but when I started seeing a lot of big albums with that mark (Blondes Have More Fun, for example...saw a used copy with a big saw mark and it certainly was no Promo), it was time to seriously do a re-think myself about what to to with Ghost Mall Music. Right now, I'm thinking straight New Pop 80's, various promotional fiascoes of the past and more about the very shady world of those lesser known albums from the tax shelters will be the way to go for the focus, with posts on the musicians themselves instead of just slabs of vinyl. Sometimes big ideas have to be edited, but it's always great to throw some ideas on the wall to see if even a few parts stick.

I got a point as well and also didn't post. I don't know. Is it for views?

I don't know. Perhaps it may have been for something I didn't factor in last week. Or it could have been a small single post as a reply.

Yup! Promote gambling to the kiddies!

Thanks to the strong support, this is gonna keep on going!

wow awesome job trollheart and pokerstars!!!!

Powerstars · 08-03-2013, 04:42 PM

Sorry guys, this week's league table might be a day late. It's harder than I expected to be honest, but I'mma keep going.

Powerstars · 08-04-2013, 11:41 AM

Never mind, I got the table done.

Wolverine once again, with Trollheart right behind her, but who ended up at number 3? The guy who updated again...Batlord. PRAISE ME BATLORD. KNEEL. Ahem, anyways, rounding out the top 5 are Urban and Unknown, who ties with YorkeDaddy. At number 10 we have Trollheart again, with me, Engine, and Bulldog in the top 15. Tied for 16 are Phonographic Memory, and a Tree that enjoys to romp through Neo-Folk. Good luck to everyone next week and congrats to our top 3~
