ALBUM CLUB #3

This week we hand over the reins to our worthy constituent, Paul Robertson. Paul's choices are undeniably meritworthy, and a poster celebrating them has been prepared by hand at almost no expense (see below). So what are they? They are Roy Harper's quietly celebrated 1971 record 'Stormcock' and Joanna Newsom's rather more loudly celebrated 2006 record 'Ys'; coincidentally fulfilling both Album Club Official Criteria #10 and #11!

Album Clubbers should, as ever, do their best to listen to the albums prior to the meeting. As neither album is available on Spotify, YouTube playlists have been prepared. See here: Joanna Newsom - Ys and here: Roy Harper - Stormcock.

Album Club Update

Following extensive committee discussion, this weekend's meeting will be held at Paul Robertson's house (Schleven A, Golgotha House, Woodsman Street, Newcastle, NEP R0B). It will be held on Saturday afternoon at 6pm; musical details to follow, of course.

ALBUM CLUB #2

Album Club #2 is ready and rearing to go, as demonstrated by the poster below (see below). Adhering to the stipulations of Album Club Bylaw #122, this week's records are Wilco's 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' and Neil Young's 'After the Gold Rush'. Album Clubbers should do their utmost to give both records a spin before this Sunday afternoon. That's when we'll be meeting.

Giving both records a spin isn't going to be unduly difficult, as both are available in their entirety on Spotify; here: Wilco – Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and here: Neil Young – After The Gold Rush.

ALBUM CLUB #1

See below the poster for Album Club #1. It's a cracker of an opening meeting, with two albums that tick all the music fan's boxes: critically acclaimed, popularly accessible, slightly loopy. In accordance with Album Club Bylaw #114, Brian Eno makes his first of what will undoubtedly be many appearances, with 'Here Come The Warm Jets'. Noah Lennox (here fulfilling Album Club Quota #1) appears with his 'Person Pitch', rounding off this week's listening.

Album Clubbers should do their best to give both records a spin before next Sunday afternoon. That's when we'll be meeting. Links to online listening sources to follow.
