Album Of The Week
« Thread Started on Jun 25, 2011, 1:05am »

Rules:
1. You should intend to listen to each album twice to participate. It's okay if you get behind, we all get busy.
2. The album you choose can't be your band, or your friend's band. It has to be somewhat accessible, so we can all track it down. As a rule of thumb, if it's not on Grooveshark (http://grooveshark.com/), it's probably too rare.
3. The album doesn't have to be your favorite, it should be an album that will generate discussion. There is no problem listing your favorite underrated album, but picking a classic album we've all heard is also encouraged.
4. Post your album as close to the Sunday you are signed up for. Don't post it before the previous work week is over (so Friday night is okay). If you are running behind, and can't write a review until later in the week, post your album early in the week, then write the review later. Part of the reason we want the album posted Sunday is so we all have a chance to find it.
5. Once we cycle through everyone who wants to play along, I'll start round two, and make the schedule in roughly the same order as listed below.

New To The Board/Late To The Game:
You can still sign up. Again, you should intend on listening to the albums submitted. The more, the merrier. Many have to wait months to post their selection, so that gives ample time to catch up. Reviews are welcome, even if they are weeks/months later. It is never too late to sign up, or write a review, even if we are 100 albums deep. If we get that far deep, and you are new, you can always sign up, as long as you intend to keep up moving forward, and maybe check out a couple of the older albums if you have time.

Schedule:
1. N.A.S.A. - Spirit of Apollo (know ID yuh)
2. Slint - Spiderland (cbats)
3. Circulatory System - Circulatory System (drew)
4. The Lowest of the Low - Shakespeare My Butt...(bradberad)
5. Self - Breakfast With Girls (stormypinkness)
6. Brian Eno/David Byrne - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts (J-Dawg)
7. Frank Black - Teenager Of The Year (lumpy)
8. The Joel Plaskett Emergency - Down at the Khyber (wompwomp)
9. Man or Astroman? - Destroy All Astromen! (Comeswithasword)
10. Tom Waits - Mule Variations (FriendlyD)
11. Joe Jackson - Look Sharp! (HornedGramma)
12. Sloan - Twice Removed (Rustneversleeps)
13. Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream (Geno)
14. At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command (EMptY)
15. We Are The City - In A Quiet World (Souly)

N.A.S.A - Spirit Of Apollo

I will try to refrain from making the joke, but I can't, "fucking N.A.S.A., how does it work?" Really though, I've never googled how they made it work. It's an album where everyone who is anyone in music recorded a soundbite, then someone named N.A.S.A. mixed them all together to make an album. The question remains, who the fuck is behind this? The album features David Byrne, Chali 2Na, Gift Of Gab, Chuck D, Karen O, Kanye West, George Clinton, Tom Waits, etc, etc, etc,. How does it work?
