Change your personal settings to show more than a day, then. It'll help for these hot-off-the-press, cold-on-the-table stories. Or use the search function ;)

I can think of a couple dozen talented musicians off the top of my head who aren't dead, but I bet they'll never get their own MeFi thread. It's criminal.

If Fridays are more or less reserved for flash thingies, then why not have Music Mondays?
