np has been nothing but a positive thing for me. I've seen it on 10-20 music lists I've subbed and unsubbed from over the years. I don't see it as either a bragging or a bullshitting thing. I np what I'm actually np'ing and *not* what is the trend of the day. If someone np's "Twoism" either they really are listening to it or they're insecure and are trying to impress any given list. I really don't try to read into it. I don't care for much on this list ( or any other music list ) much other than music anyways. In many instances I've learned a lot by following up on what a lister is playing or perhaps seeing a trend in what people are now playing. Also on occasion someone nps a recording from long ago that may remind me to relisten to it. Perhaps the reponses to this thread will confirm that *many* people value it. Also, to say "I'm sure no-one gives a toss" in:re np'ing reads as well with *any* opinion on this list...a la : " no-one gives a toss about Autechre, Aphex, SKAM, MASK, vvm, blah blah blah".
