Or have they just been relegated to whatever rolling thread they might fit in?

I don't really care that much about new releases. These days I am more interested in live music and old records.

I know what he means. But then I think, ''what I'm really saying is that there's no new theads or vibrant threads for the new releases I care most about,'' which isanother thing altogether.

My biggest beef is that it's getting near list time and I'm disorganized, so I usually get lazy and skim the new releases threads to jog my memory.
But really, that's a very small beef.
