I quite like this idea. Get a bunch of mates around to listen to an album in its entirety, with no chat or interruption, and have a chat about it afterwards.
I've done film nights at home with friends, but never a "listening party" so to speak.
What think ye?

Can you penalise people for speaking out of turn?

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

They'll get detention and have to listen to a disc of outtakes.

Absolutely - Even better if it's of the "NEVER DARKEN MY DOOR AGAIN YOU INSENSITIVE TWUNT" variety.
I don't see why not.

Can we smoke scaldy hash and just grunt approval after the album finishes? That's pretty much how I spent all my free time aged 15-22

What? £10 to listen to an album I've heard hundreds of times before and I'm not allowed speak during it's entirety? Is this a joke?

I thought a lot about doing an album club, like a book club - give everyone a copy of the album for a month then met up and discuss and listen to it...like a lot of things I think of, I didn't do it...

I tried this with a group of friends once.

The first album chosen was "the latest Bon Jovi one" and would you believe there was never a second meetup.

horrendous - can you imagine all these cunts let loose on the world with the same spoon-fed poncy views they learned at sunday music class about every classic album

This crowd are now doing Classic Album Sunday's Dublin, which kicked off yesterday in the Teacher's Club with The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. Special guest was Ken Scott, the album's producer.
Was anyone at it? It was an absolute clusterfuck. A total debacle.

No, but you have me intrigued now - what happened?!

No, but you have me intrigued now - what happened?!

Basically the management of the event (or complete lack of) was a total shitstorm. Start time was delayed, no reason given. Huge queue of people left standing around waiting for about an hour. The ticket checking took an age as there was just one guy working from a print out with the smallest script imaginable. On finally getting into the room, it appeared that the "high end" Hi Fi system had only just been set up. We were advised we wouldn't be getting the full on audio experience however, despite the super expensive gear brought in to listen to the album on. Mikes didn't work for the Q+A; the whole thing was incredibly scrappy.
Having said all that when Coleen Murphy did get going (she was very apologetic but still) with the Q+A with Ken Scott, it was enjoyable.
The album playback was largely superfluous though as we weren't getting the super high end audio treatment, so people were free to chat, go to the bar, leave, whatever. A very disappointing turn of events.

Ouch! Doesn't sound the best...

Not great. They'd need to get their act together if they're to continue!

A while back I had an idea of doing a podcast where each week 4 people go for a drive and listen to a classic Album for the trip and chat about it.

But then I couldn't be arsed.

Thumped Album Club

It's kinda where I got the idea. I would go for a drive and listen to the album of that week. But didn't always post my review due to being busy with work or family. And though If I could talk about it while driving with people job done.
