For Theme Thusdays
 

Mossy suggested I should have a thread posted for MOONies to lookup the curently running themes on Thursday. So here it is, hope this is a convenience for you all.
This is all new to me (my first thread):xfinger:

so it looks like today 8/3/06 we shall do songs that are 2m30s or shorter
we need as many moonies to place reqs as possible so we don't get fillers from SAM:vaxman:

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

Virgin no more! :neener:

Is this also where we could/should suggest themes? Us left coasters appreciate a chance along with all the peeplz to the right. :xfinger:

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

When you in the US still sleep, we in Europe will define the Theme...

:rockband:

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

Or while the Europeans are sleeping, the US people could decide the theme for the next day :knowing:

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

How about a 3 for Thursdays, where we play a request and then two more of the same artist?

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

That would be good so long as we don't end up with 90 minutes of GY!BE............:jawdrop: :surrender :aua:

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

Foolowed by 100 min of Tarentel and some Mogwai..

:mad:

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

theme should be jetlag shouldn't be ?:boxing:

I agree with Mr. G
 

....................arrrrrrrrggggggggg !!!!!!, What lotus fears, I must agree.

Here would be a great Place to post the Theme and Date. With the Shoutbox now only going Back from time of sign on, We can no longer see the early Morning Shouts. I love the interaction from Moonies that this brings.

..so whats next Thursday??????????

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

must be your first thread i see 8 post in your info....great idea to have a thread! thank you mossy/Gort. and splendid suggestion avian at first thought but then again maybe not. it could get ugly :drdot: =8^O :hooboy:

keep the thread, save the 3 idea for maybe an anniversary or holiday day.

carry on:flutter:

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

I was going to suggest a way to collect theme ideas. I would then put up the theme as a frontpage news item. Anyone visiting the site could them see it. This would also give a fair shake to those all around the globe wanting to offer up a suggestion for a theme.

Start them rolling in....

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

And how do we select a theme?

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

Perhaps a poll of theme ideas each week... the winner being the theme for the subsequent Thursday.

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

Good idea, Vax..Here my suggestion: "Fruit" (When I read you I always think of Apple....:hrm: )

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

That's weird when I think of VAX I think "Fruit" ;)

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

...and you always make me think "nuts"! :-o~

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

I like the font page idea

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

Someone suggested on Thursday that we have a "no song over 2:30" theme for a day. I thought that was a great idea since there are several short songs I have never heard on the Moon that fall in that category.

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

vax/kw.... I feel like I've stepped into an ad campaign for cadbury's.

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

Theme suggestion for this Thu 8/3: mythical locations - Avalon, The Shire, Valhalla, etc - and Ditch 9 of Dante's 8th Circle for the fruit & nut crew.

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

Sweetheart,
That's because VAX and I are both Fruit and Nut Cases......tee hee.

Where's Frank Muir when you need him. ;)

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

Yay! Someone remembered one of my theme idea!

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

Well this worked fine, The theme for 8/3 appears to be:

Mythical Nuts and Fruits that Last less then 2:30.....Wheres Paul Lynn when you need him

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

Today is 8/3 -- how about nuts and fruits, mythical or not, for today's theme?

Next Thursday, no song over 2:30.

That sounds like a couple of interesting weeks to me. :hrm:

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

ok the theme for 8/3/06 is songs under 2m30s:knowing:

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

10 random theme ideas off the top of my head:

1) songs over 2:30 ;-)
2) interesting percussion
3) good vocals
4) instrumentals
5) songs with AT LEAST one non-standard rock instrument (guitar, bass, drums, keyboard)
6) math/science
7) colors
8) animals
9) transportation (car, boat, running, flying, etc)
10) earth, air, fire, and/or water

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

Goot themes lamur, except we've done transportation really recently, i think, and "good vocals" or "interesting percussion" are a bit subjective IMO. but I like the rest.

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

How is subjective is bad? I'd like to hear what other people like to listen to. That's part of the coolness of doing those themes. I don't just want to hear random songs, I'd like to find new music to listen to in the process.

Either way, I was just trying to open up the discussion by throwing out a lot of different ideas. It's not like everyone follows the theme anyway. I figured if we gave people more flexibility to still choose songs they like, they might be more inclined to play along.

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

Tanarul-T Thread gave me an idea,

my suggestion is Sym Rock! So many great CD in that thread, and many of them on the Moon...

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

So here it is another Thursday 8/10, let's get a theme going for today.
Any suggestions?:hrm:

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

um, yeah. I have about 10 in my post above, and there are at least 2-3 others in this thread which haven't been used yet. pick one, and let's get this trainwreck moving. ;-)

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

Instrumentals is the theme for todayhttp://www.freesmileys.org/emo/music030.gif

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

I hardly request and rarely listen to Moon for long periods of time so I've been out of the loop regarding this thread.

Themes are Thursdays? That's a pretty good day.

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

Ok :hrm:

1. Songs over 30:00 :haha:
2. Starts with Q, X, or Z
3. Guest stars (when one famous musician guests, such as Jon on "Lizard," Fripp on "Bird of Heaven," or Hodgeson on "Walls")
4. Titles ten words or longer
5. Title tracks only
6. Album openers only
7. Album closers only
8. Songs of specific length (such as 9:00 songs - songs between 9:00 and 9:59)
9. Songs with dramatic time shifts, or with two or more time signatures (such as "Sound Chaser," "Magnum Opus," "Money," or [gag]"Supper's Ready")
10. Song with "people" names (such as "Harold Land," "Mr. Wilson," "Matthew - The Man," or "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast")

Re: For Theme Thusdays
 

It's so good to see themes being resurrected. While I'll rarely be able to participate, here's some suggestions:

One word titles
Numbers
Sexual Euphemisms :hrm:
Cover tracks
Colours
Professions
Astronomy
Songs / Artists with a literary reference
___ and ___ ("Us and Them", "And You and I", "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo" - Wait, is that on the playlist?) :rolleyes2
Geographical features

You'd better stop me now....

Re: For Theme Thusdays

Re: For Theme Thusdays
