Hey. Wanna Come Over and Listen to Music aka The Bay Area Record Club Thread

[guedita]

I'M HUNGRY.

[greghead]

Is anyone but Robin & Heidi intending to bring a side item?

[Robin]

I got the buffalo chicken dip and the beer cheese dip prepped and ready to be eaten!

AHEM...

I can do saturday. if we do, I'll bring a birthday cake. :-)

I'll be on my way shortly.

[Robin]

I feel so bloated right now, but it was worth it!

[greghead]

I don't know how the fuck you girls went out dancing after. I had a hard power-nap/food-coma the instant everyone left. So greasy and grape-y. Thanks Courtney and Robin for joining us tonight, I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves. And I'm glad I could exploit some free, highly-efficient Asian labor.

I didn't take notes, so I need help

I think Edward played Wax Tailor before your James Brown covers. The Lush album was Split, the The The album was Infected.

[bballarl]

I hate missing these meetings. Glad you guys had fun. Heidi, how was Bukem?

[guedita]

That was a great record club. Loved The Softies and Wax Taylor and Lush a LOT. Thanks for sharing, friends.

[shakermaker113]

the softies were great. will definitely be listening to them again.

[bballarl]

Which Softies record did you guys listen to?

[guedita]

It's Love

[bballarl]

That's the best one. "I Love You More" is one of my favorite songs ever.

[greghead]

My highlight from this meeting was discovering the origins of a beloved hip hop track:







Tight.

[chiapet]

Yea, The Softies album is fantastic. Winter Pageant is good too.

I invariably end up playing this song all summer each year:




Also: the crushing moment when I find out that the Softies just played SF in September.

[chiapet]

Heidi, how was Bukem?

Bukem was fun, but his set got a little same-ish for me pretty quickly and I didn't even stick it out through the end.

Of course, it could just be that record club derails my plans for the remainder of the night, every time...

[flea73]

Who the hell brought Double Dutch Bus??? That song NEVER fails to instantly improve my mood.

[Courtney]

I freaking love you people. And your food. And your records. And your hugs.

Also, after stressing out about making my flight, the departure was delayed by two hours. OF COURSE.

Greg! That song is definitively the theme song of my recent months.

[flea73]

That seems like it should be your lifetime theme song Cara.

Aw shucks, thanks. I'm happy you made it over, I promise next time I'll be a better host and not spend the duration of,your visit frying chicken.

[Robin]

I want more chicken. It's like crack!

[greghead]

The leftovers have been splendid.

[greghead]

Our one-year anniversary is nearly upon us and, as I've mentioned to many of you, I'd like to celebrate with a special dance party edition of BARC. Yes, dance party. Jennie and I want to clear the furniture out of the living room and make room for us all to get our groove on. Jennie wants costumes of some sort, and Heidi has mentioned a pre-1980s record club; perhaps we combine all this for a pre-80s costumed anniversary dance party?

Thoughts? Concerns?

[Robin]

Roller skating disco dancing?

What War albums do you have on vinyl?

[chiapet]

Oh man. Please don't have a dance party without the 80's. (I feel like Jennie will be with me on that!) Maybe a 'vintage' vinyl night (20 years old + ) ?

I love this idea, btw.

[chiapet]

I feel like Salah needs to resurrect his Plurple Rain costume.

[flea73]

I'm with Heidi that the 80's must be included (even though I won't be there)!
