Hello AlbumClubers!
It's been awhile, I know. What can I say? Things got busy with things too boring to mention here, but we're finally going to do another one. With help from @JimHart3000, our pal @fetik777 is guest curating #albumclub on Monday, March 12. We're going to listen to The Wedding Present's "Seamonsters." Here's what @fetik777 wrote about it.
"The boy Gedge has written some of the best love songs of the 'Rock ‘n’ Roll' era. You may dispute this, but I’m right and you’re wrong!" -John Peel.
On Monday, March 12th, 7:00 PM CST, Album Club (Takeover Edition) will be featuring The Wedding Present's "Seamonsters." This album was chosen not only because it is a FANTASTIC record and was recorded in Minnesota (Pachyderm w/ Steve Albini)... but because the Wedding Present are celebrating it's 21st Anniversary by touring & performing it in its entirety! The MN date is March 28th @ the 400 Bar. We hope that this event will motivate you to check out this brilliant band in their best setting: a live stage. If you don't already own this album (and you SHOULD), we will be streaming it legally through Spotify. A URL will be posted on Twitter with the #albumclub hashtag, 30 mins before the event starts. Once 7 PM hits, start the album (or join the stream), and talk about it track by track with others on Twitter (#albumclub)!
Here at Album Club World Headquarters, we're not sure if this will be a one-off, an occasional event, or a weekly thing. We just know it will be fun. Hope to see you Monday night on the Twitters and the Spotifys!
