       Peter, I deleted your link proving this idea "Baked" because it bore no relevance to the idea.   

       Please try to understand that I no longer derive any amusement from this practice of yours.   

       I usually let posts sit on my ideas irrespective of their relevance. I am now prepared to make an exception for you.

       UB - are you envisaging some kind of personalisation mood engine which picks a tune to fit the topic you're looking at (e.g. Battle of the Banjos for 'Lazy River Office') or is it random, or is it a user choice thang?
goff, Mar 08 2002
  

       I hadn't thought so far ahead. It could be a personalised thing, or simply an option to add to the idea when you post it.   

       That way everyone with a sound card and speakers would get the music you chose to go with your idea at the time.   

       Begs the question... what would Rods Tiger choose for something like Cheese Taps?

       I enjoy Dr Hook's The Freakers Ball - no matter what I am doing!!! and it seems perfectly apt here!

       "I hadn't thought so far ahead." (in reference to how the 'idea' works)
Then why post?

       I like the thought of being able to attach a specific piece to my ideas. I know that it's easy to misinterpret a writer's intended tone, and I think being able to add a little music could go a long way in helping to have your idea read in the spirit it was intended.

       Because, phoenix, I thought of it first as a random selection played from the 'bakery server. It hadn't occurred to me there could be several other ways to decide what was played.

       How about colour schemes as well? Classic black and white for Charlie Chaplin some psychedelic or Dr. Hook.

       "Chaos At The Greasy Spoon" by Hatfield And The North on THE ROTTERS CLUB Album seems suitable for the site.
thumbwax, Mar 09 2002
  

       [bluerowan], no colour scheme even comes close to the classic B&W we currently enjoy.   

       TW, Helter Skelter? It was good enough for the Manson family.

       I lived in Los Feliz for 5 years - I once unwittingly wore a Charles Manson T-Shirt to a yard sale next to the address on Waverly Drive where the Manson 'Family' murders of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca took place - didn't go over well.

       That must be the golden standard for "unwittingly."
