Not as hard as one may think because I try to keep up with it during the act or shortly thereafter. I usually type song title (artist) in my comments so I can copy/paste from the post. At least I’m not linking all the songs! (Now that would be crazy).

That’s the way to do it. And yes, linking all those songs would probably end up leading you to a spam black hole. 🙂
