Here I have to agree to disagree with you, Mark.

This is an extremely creative community that is a very multi-talented
and multi-dimensional one..............one that is fairly intimate too, as 
online communities go.

It is fascinating to me to see how different kinds of art cross pollinate 
with the people who
make looping music on this list.

I do think that we should discipline ourselves to always including an 
offtopic  OT  indicator
in our posts and , frankly,   to have a subthread on Harry Potter feels 
like 
it begs the issue*
but I my feeling is that the answers to this question about what we are 
reading informs
the looping community as much as what we are listening to or what we are 
performing
or recording.

You can always subscribe to the daily digest and just fail to read 
anything 
that is on this
thread or take 30 seconds to put a filter on your email program to make 
anything
with an OT: READING header disappear with the rest of your spam messages.

I, for one,  have enjoyed this thread and to me it's very relevant to live 
looping
because we are multi-faceted artists who are informed by many different 
kinds of things.

yours,  Rick Walker

*I'm not opposed to saying you've read the new Harry Potter (or watched 
the 
latest movie or
listened to the latest movies sound score)  I just think that since this 
is 
an off topic topic, that
we should minimize it's presence on the list by retaining the same thread 
name.
