Just an idea: random album of the whatever - day, week, month?
 

Meh, just had the idea, see what people think before I waste my time making an actual thread. Select a random album from say RYM or maybe Bandcamp, however frequently we want to (probably every week) and get people's thoughts on it. Basically, the Album Club but with very much a random element added. Anyone interested at all? Should I just show myself out?

Sure, I'd be up for that. It'll probably take a few tries per album to find a release that's easily available online since the unavailable ones probably far outnumber the ones that are on Spotify, YouTube, etc.

Guess we'll be using this link to randomize?: http://rateyourmusic.com/misc/random

Sounds good, though at the moment it appears you and I are the only ones interested....

Give it some time then. Maybe some of the people in the regular Album Club will be interested?

I get your saying more random but how...

I'll in anyway. Maybe more flexible on the scheduling that the album club would be good

Okay, what I'm saying is that, rather than choose an album we know and love and try to convince others to like it, we literally take one at random - could be one we know anyway (though unlikely if we use the Bandcamp thing) or could be totally new to us all - and then we listen to it, whatever it may be, and talk about it. Pretty much the same as the Album Club except we're choosing a random album every week, or whatever time period we decide to go with. Might be more interesting. As I said, just an idea, and an attempt to get people talking about music none of us may know. Who knows? We may end up unearthing some gems. Or some abortions. Either way, it could be fun.

ok

I think it's silly that people want others to like their picks

You ... you .. you monster!!!! :laughing: :yikes:

Luckily, we haven't started yet, so move away from the James Last album, slowly now, slowly, we don't want to do anything we might regret....

So in all seriousness, we have GiganticDebaser, Occult and Mord so far, and me, yes? Four. Not bad. Anyone else interested? We can probably make this work with four, but more would be better.
