Like a book club, but with albums! **This month’s albums:** * Bob Marley: ‘Catch a Fire’ * Galen & Paul: ‘Can we do tomorrow another day?’ We’ll be meeting at Royal Oak (on Goodramgate) upstairs in the Parlour Room. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* How does it work? We vote on two albums per month - a 'main' album, plus a personal recommendation from a member. We usually meet once a month. We announce the albums in advance, so you have the option to listen in your own time, but we also play them as background music at the social. At each meeting, everyone has the opportunity to nominate albums for the next month's meeting, which we then vote on. Similarly to most book clubs, discussion of the albums generally takes up a pretty small proportion of the evening! We have even been known to forget to bring them up entirely... So please feel free to join us regardless of how interested you are in this month’s albums. It's really just a fun way to get together and share recommendations at the same time, and we always love having new people. Having said all that, if you'd like a more interesting and profound description of Album Club, along with quotes and general nostalgia, please read the below from our most loyal member... \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* And now, the optional deep bit: technology has revolutionised our lives. But it also means we have almost unlimited choices - and "*the paradox of choice suggests that an abundance of options actually requires more effort to choose and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice*" (thanks, Google). For example... music! If a song doesn't grab you on the first listen, why would you listen to it again, when Spotify has 100 million songs available for no extra cost or energy? "*Next...*" Albums - particularly those widely considered to be classics - are created
