Kay Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I read about this on Chorus, and it's a nifty idea - so I'm stealing it. It's like a book club - the idea is the introduce each other to new music. Essentially, if you wanna listen to new stuff and share music you love, tell me in this thread and I'll make a list of members. Each week, I will put two members together and they'll PM each other about records, (to work out which ones the other hasn't heard before) and they'll share said record (youtube or Spotify link or something). Each person has one week to listen to the record, and during that week/at the end of it, they post in this thread their review of the record given to them. doesn't have to be huge, just a post explaining what you liked or didn't like, if it'll become regular listening for you, if it's made you look into that artists discography, etc. I think this could be really fun and as someone who super struggles to get into new music I think it could be cool. I think 10 people is a good place to start but if we get more than that, awesome. So post here if you're interested, I'll start a list going and when we have a sizeable amount of interest I'll get this rolling. Let me know what ya'll think UPDATE - Here's a running list of the weeks so far! Week 1 - Charly Bliss "Guppy" @boxelder Week 2 - Culture Abuse "Bay Dream" @Elisa Week 3 - Luisa Sobral "The Cherry On My Cake" @Ghost Week 4 - Arkells - "Michigan Left" @Patient #48273 Week 5 - Ty Segall - "Manipulator" @Nasa Week 6 - Frank Turner - "Love Ire & Song" @Kay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Good idea, but I'm not sure about my time to do it, hahaha. My usual path to find other music, instead of folowing recommendations, was (still is) to devour booklets of the albums I was getting, in order to read influences mentioned by the artists themselves, or in interviews. Then I'd follow the rope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasa Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I'm totally in!!! You know me so well Kay. Great idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 That sounds like a really cool idea! I'd love to participate, but as ghost said i hope i can make up enough time for it to really give it a go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry-Bread Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Great idea but unfortunately I just can't fully commit due to time, but thanks for including me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkarrow Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Maybe have a random member pick an album for the thread in general each week as well for people who don't want to commit 100% but can pop in occasionally? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I think I could find the time. Sounds fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Value Boy Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I'd be interested as long as it's not too full on. 1 album a week would work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an interesting idea, could be good for those not so capable of listening to a record a week. Would everyone prefer that overall to the original idea? because if so I could make a fresh topic each week for each record, with who chooses next being decided in that weeks topic. They'd PM me their choice, I'd set it up each week. I'm up for either but if the dedication aspect is difficult I can see how this would be better.

Patient #48273 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I'm terrible about listening to new music, so I'm probably not a good one for this club, but thank you for thinking of me. I'll definitely be following this thread, though, and will likely check out some of the picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I like the idea that somebody nominates a record and we all listen to it and give feedback. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I probably have way too many albums to list haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaller bands, older bands, local bands - as long as it's a record you personally love and think others should hear, then it's up for it you know? also needs to be a record you can link to on Spotify / youtube / Apple Music etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Count me in! I like this idea. I think if we picked a record and everyone is allowed to give their feedback, it would be easier for more people to partecipate, without the rush/panic about a writing deadline. But I have no problem with the original idea either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
