I was reading through 'How do you overcome (insert medium) creative block' and found this (link) from Jet that is just absolute gold:

This site is f'n cool. After a minute or so I've got more neurons firing in off my head than I know what to do with. Totally worth checking out- thanks Jet!!
We've got a 'Best Of The Boards' but not really a 'Best Of The Posts'...
Anyone else found any posts from the boards in need of the spotlight?

NZMusic Forum Awarda III is on B.O.T.B. but where are editions I and II?
as far as throwing spotlights, posts are what they are, and if people dont respond or appear interested thats immaterial. Inflammatory comments gather far more traffic, this as much an indication of Modern Society as why people frequent here.
I guess I have favourites, but that would only be a selection from various writers and would certainly not be an indication on weather or not I actually agree with them.
As far as dislike, theres is probably only 2 or 3 regulars I find flippant/pointless/imbecile so thats a pretty good plus for the site vs society comparision.
Who deserves wider recognition for there thoughts?
Anyone who actions their beliefs into the wider community I'd say.

Thanks, foetusboy. The Oblique Strategies thrilled me to bits when I first found them. I remember running around quoting "Repetition is a form of change" ad nauseum to anyone who would listen.
Some irony in quoting that particular card over and over, no doubt. ;)

(smiling) Plenty of memorable ones in there though dude. 'Deliberately do something boring', 'make the instruments swap roles', etc etc etc... like matrix-esque 'there is no spoon' moments. Plus, like you said originally most of them aren't really muso-specific either. Wicked!

heh, this dude released Oblique Strategies as a VST plugin:
