    Default Call for contributors for the next round of the Album Club

    Good Evening everyone,

    With the posting of the May Album Club choice, the Album Club rota has come to an end. We are thus putting out a call for contributors for the next round. Ideally we are looking for at least seven volunteers to take us up to the end of the year.

    Those of you who have already contributed are welcome to put your names forward, and those of you who have taken part in the Album Club and have posted comments might like to contribute as well.

    For those of you who are unaware of the Album Club, it is a bit like the thread ‘Spinning Today’, whereby contributors choose an album they like, write a few words about it and why they like it and provide a YouTube, Spotify or Grooveshark link so that other members can listen to it, comment and vote on it. There is a new Album Club choice posted each month.

    What we like to see are unusual, different and challenging suggestions. Any genre of music is welcome: classical, folk; rhythm and blues; jazz; pop; rock; soul; indie, electronica; world music…, – in fact anything at all!

    So if you are interested and would like to contribute then send me your name by PM. You don’t need to make a choice straight away: you will be given a month’s notice, so will have plenty of time to prepare.

    Also, don’t worry that your choice might be ridiculed and receive criticism, it might not be as popular as some, but we are always interested in discovering something new.

    So how about it – any volunteers? Send me a PM if you are interested and would like to contribute.

    Thank you

    Regards
    The Album Club

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Seriously though

    How about some classical music for a change. Nothing too heavy, Georges Enesco's - Romanian Rhapsody No. 1 conducted by Leopold Stokowski
