Thanks to MrScagdenSir for comming up with this concept
Basically every week we shall listen to a new album reccomended by someone involved with the album a week exchange. If you wish to nominate an album please leave your name below and PM me an album I will then publish a list with each week and what album will be listend to, after being narrowed down if need be.
The cut off will be at 50albums
Actually hell the cut off will be a year
lets do a whole years worth!
Soooo thats 52 yup yup
i like this idea a lot.
i have to consider what album i'm going to inflict on people now!
im in again
Ooooh this sounds good
I'll have a think...
In
you should discount mega famous albums, no point in them in this context really
If someone reccomends something like Ok Computer or Daydream Nation then i will discount it
but if someone posts something like Washing Machine from Sonic Youth for example I may allow it as it's not one EVERYONE has heard + it will give people opputunity to re-visit it.
Good idea
I'm still in, now to find something suitable.
...
im in on this, sounds like a good idea.
I'm in, BUT...
I'm a bit confused as to what we're all going to achieve from this though...
What does anyone achieve doing anything?
it'll be fun
Discover new music
thats pretty much the thing of it, dont cha think?
Sounds fine to me
Do we have to buy a new album every week then?
Buy it, download it... i dont care :P
as long as you buy it if you love it
It will also homogenise DiS
even further until we become a single entity and swarm accross the world in a cardigan coated wave of destruction. Which is always a good thing
Cardigans?!?
I'm not wearing cardigans for anyone.
when you are part of the swarm
you have no choice, one mind, one million k records badges
I'm in
this has the potential to be great fun.
I like the sound of this.
What if people don't have the album?
^I was wondering this^
there's this thing called google
and these things called torrents.
but
what if people suggest stuff on DiS ;)
you may object then.
before them there was shops y'know
I'd definitely be interested in this.
I think it might be better to not publish a list though, keep up the suspense. I probably couldn't disipline myself to only listen to one a week. Why not wait for 51 other people to sign up and then just take it in turns week-by-week in order of when people signed up?
^
yuppp
I'm in...
good idea
please do Interpol Antics as I wana see alot vast majoirty of opinions onit!!!
Yeah Im in
save me a space.
I'll gets a thinkin
i like the idea, but it's too costly and i'm too picky
Plus, you are fucking off in 8 weeks.
yeah, but i could sign in to receive a message informing me
of which album to get if i so desired.
However i don't. I already made a list of 31 albums i desire to purchase and i need to be more frugal
Ha!
i'm someone will circulate a megaupload link
every week...
Can I join in?
Please?
can i be in this one?
I'm in!
hope I made it in time
Remember guys, if your in suggest your albums I only have 4 so far
i'm aiming for 52 :)
ive sent you a PM :)
Can i join too?
Pretty please :)
Here you go here's 5 essentials!!!
The Velvet Underground & Nico
Unknown Pleasures
The Stone Roses
London Calling
The La's
Your banned from this game
if i catch you listening to any of the 52albums ur dead
hahahahaha
Do we need to work it out..
..so that we get a decent mix of different genres?
Dude just submit whatever album you love
thats the point, if its already been choosen i will inform you. You shouldnt force you decision out, just go with what you feel is right.
Hang on
How does this work? Every week we all have to listen to a new album, right? Like a book club? So is somebody going to upload their choice of album each week for everyone to download?
I'm not endorcing such actions!
but if someone circulates a file that's completely out of my hands, though I do maintain that if you LOVE the album you should buy it.
:D
Muxtape?
I'm in.
I'll PM my album.
Pssshhhh
lol
i'm in, great idea
will someone send round a link to the album so we can listen?
not sure what to nominate - how well-known / obscure does it have to be?
It doesn't have to be super obscure
but albums that everyone have heard such as Daydream Nation or Blue will be ignored enitrely.
Just nominate one of your fav albums ever, all will go well tat way.
okay
here are some of my favourite albums:
elliott smith: either/or
low: secret name / things we lost in the fire
belle and sebastian: tigermilk
the decemberists: picaresque
the flaming lips: the soft bulletin
incidentally i have never heard daydream nation!
oh - one! ha ha
secret name, then.
Please PM me ONE album
dont list any on the topic
ok i messed up
will pm you now. can i still join?
FAIL
Anyone who gets me to listen to Belle and Sebastian
is asking for trouble!
fear not
i have nominated one album but it wasn't B&S
can i play??
11 Slots down so far
41 remain!
Please PM your album of choice NOW!
I'd like to take part in this please.
PM Yesiamaduck.
Count me in
:-D
THIS IS A GREAT IDEA
I am soooooooo game.
I want in
consider yourself PM'd.
This could be such a mistake for my bank balance. I shouldn't have looked at DIS today.
if people are worried about getting hold of albums
don't last.fm stream like hundreds of thousands of them now?
I'm in!
im in
I'm in!
I nominate:
Whiskycats - Whiskycats
agh
meant to send that as a PM. Do we have to send these albums to anyone? Probably won't be able to do that. Might choose something a bit less than a month old..
Once all the slots have filled up
a list of the users involved should be posted somewhere. How many spaces are left?
Can i play?
Aces!
I'm in.
Consider yourself well and truly PM'd.
I would also like to get in on this...
thanks!
Where do I PM you?
What is a PM, a private message? I guess you want us to send you a private note thingy.
^ This.
Yesiamaduck.
Click "Send note". It appears underneath each and every post.
I knwo how it works..
..I was just wondering if that's what we're supposed to do. I'm guessing it is.
maybe Life Without Buildings - Any other City
although lots of people on here might have heard it.
shit
i need to learn to read.
Sounds good>
Count me in.
IN LIKE FLYNN.
Sweet.
this sounds good
as long as no-one recommends Neutral Milk Hotel
I am new
to DiS but I am totally UP FOR THIS

(i'll PM you my choice once i've thought about it for a minute)
sounds fun
i'm in if there is space still.
PM sent.
ME TOO
YEAH IM SENDING A PM AS WELL
how is this going now?
and how is this project going to be put into action?
where is the list going to be?
if i want to see it do i need to nominate an album?
This sounds like a good,idea
count me in on it. Will send a pm in the next few minutes.

YAY
The list is almost full
I think I'm like 10 slots away! WooO! got some good ones on here so far & a bunch I haven't heard yet! Keep em comming

Album a week
Lust for Life- Iggy Pop
I'm in
if u'll have me
Just to check...
... what happens if we don't have the albums in question?
i think the point is that you won't have them.
^ Bingo
last.fm
stream loads of artists back catalogue's. I'd suggest heading there and having a browse
not sure
why i felt catalogues needed an apostrophe
it should have gone after the s on artists
maybe it slipped.
Sorry.

I'm in
i definitely think it'd be better to not announce the albums in one go.
Yeah, I agree.
I'd like to not know what the next album is- it'd keep the excitement up.
This is the idea I think.
Yep Im in
good idea
I'm in.
When I saw the Mountain Goats a year or two ago
John Darnielle kept talking about how he was 'stoked'. He was stoked to be here, he was stoked to be playing this song etc.
I am well and truly stoked about this whole idea.

Do you know which one I actually chose?

Let's have a list of usernames who involved.

That was one cryptic clue there.
;)
METAL
ARGHHH
six o clock is so far away....
i dont finish til 6:(
I sit down for my dinner with my doting family at 6...
My wife is going to kill me if I get the laptop out at the dinner table. Hmmmm... how quickly can I wolf down some pasta and put the kids to bed I wonder?
Read up on how to make urself sick
Could be a little extreme but still
MrsScagden will be all 'what does waiting an hour or so matter? It's only the annoucement of some album' She gets like this when I INSIST on buying things on the day of release.
My wife doesn't understand me... Actually that's a euphemism isn't it? Scratch that last bit.
i have to go to work at 6
can we make it 5:55?
thankyouuuuuuu
How long does it take you to get to work?!
To people who want a list of users
I
cant
be
arsed
to
compile
another
list
which
is
52
strong
and
I
do
mean
that
sincerly
k :)
Stop askin x
EVERYONE that applied got in
So can only people that got in
comment on the album, and anyone else will be paddled out of the thread?
Anyone can comment and give their opinions on it
that would impossible to moderate otherwise
I think this is going to his head, tbh.
;)
At the end of the week are we going to start a thread and discuss out thoughts?
The first thread will be posted at 6pm
discussion may begin whenever then I will start a final thoughts thread alongside the next album one.
is anyone else really really excited about this?
im excited to add 52 albums to my collection that ive hopefully not heard before and are really good!
*51
what a tard i am sometimes
Best case situation it will be 51 new albums
because chances are you will have a couple, thats the case with me anyways but not nearly as many as I expected :D
you smug git you know the list!!!
:P
As a result the level of excitment is greatly reduced :(
i suppose :(
i cant wait til 6 tell us now!

:( I really hope u dont have this album now
u seem so excited that it will break my heart if you do
i didnt have it
but forgot to order it lastnight :(
