Welcome to Album Club

One of the best things about Twitter is experiencing a live event with your friends. Album Club brings that experience to a classic CD. We choose an album, start it at the same time, and tweet along. You'll hear it with fresh ears, and with the opinions and memories of the Twitterverse.

Pixies - Doolittle - Wednesday, April 20 - 9p Central

"It's deliberately both attractive and repellent, a pleasure that makes you squirm." 
Ben Sisario on Doolittle


On a spring day in 2005, New York Times music critic Ben Sisario climbed into a big, yellow, 1986 Cadillac*  with Charles Thompson/Black Francis/Frank Black.  They spent three days cruising around Oregon and talking about Doolittle.  Sisario (@sisario on Twitter) wrote a book about the record, and Wednesday night at 9p Central,  he'll join Album Club as we listen to and tweet about The Pixies' masterpiece.  We'll also have Steve Seel and Jill Riley from The Current's morning show. It's all in preparation for The Pixies Doolitle tour at Roy Wilkins Sunday, April 24.

Should be an epic Album Club. Start Doolittle at 9p Central Wednesday, April 20, and tweet along with the hash tag #albumclub.  Check our FAQ for more information about how it all works.

*Black Francis bought that Cadillac in cash with most of his royalty check for Doolittle!
