Being firmly rooted in the 'playlists are a good thing' camp, I really don't get why some people are so against them.
While I can understand the point of view that people should get off their arses and go and see for themselves what's being played at different venues - for some people that is just not an option.
Personal, family and financial restraints do play a part on what venues people can and do attend these days.
And anyway, I am not convinced that refusing to post up a playlist is going entice anyone to travel to a venue.
Surely letting people know in advance what they are going to hear at your venue is far better than having people going round telling all their mates that your venue is rubbish because they found it wasn't their cup of tea when they got there.
oops.. left an 'f' off my 'of'
