Strategies Against Architecture - The Avant Garde/Experimental Album Club

dankrsta · 01-13-2011, 05:45 PM

This is great! So many interesting suggestions. I would like all of these albums to have a chance to be heard and discussed. So after we pick one for next week, all of the other albums will again be in the next poll. If it turns out that we have a lot of albums, we can stop with suggestions for a while (not now I mean), so that every album has its turn for discussing. What does everybody think?

Dankrsta, I've always wondered this, so I'll go ahead and ask. What does your avatar picture depict?

Sounds good to me. I can see this thread being one of my favorites. Plus, this will allow me to become exposed to more avant garde music.

....still could be fun to listen to and dissect for everyone....and hear your thoughts on it

Sounds good to me. I'm interested in everything that's been posted so far!

Also, we can always talk here about all these rules, about suggestions, whether to stop them for a while or not. And I mean it only if we really have a lot of albums.

For now, everybody who wants to join can suggest an album, but it's not mandatory. You can be involved by just voting or discussing.

It's a scene from Jean Cocteau's early surrealist film The Blood of a Poet. I think it's from around 1930. Very good film, not very long, but beautiful to look at and full of symbolism about art and a struggling artist.

So how does this whole thing work anyway? I've never participated in any of the other clubs. Do we basically just pick an album, all listen to it within a certain span of time and then just come here to discuss it? Or is there more to it than that?

bob. · 01-13-2011, 06:43 PM

i think thats the basic idea....spend a day or two getting nominations, make a poll, vote, top album gets listened to and talked about....repeat

by the way dankrsta....nice name for the club

dankrsta · 01-13-2011, 06:46 PM

Yeah that's basically it. We're now suggesting albums. In Saturday I will add a poll and we'll have two days (weekend) for voting. I hope that's enough time, but if not I can prolong it. My idea is that we start listening to the selected album at the start of the week, so that after 7 days I can open a discussion thread for it. In the meantime there will be more suggestions (maybe) and more time for voting.
