ALBUM CLUB! It’s like a book club, but with MUSIC!
Which albums from a certain artist's oeuvre are their definitive works? Which ones are your FAVORITES?
MAY's selected group/artist is: THE TALKING HEADS - RSVP here!
Calling all Talking Heads fans! Join us at the WAB on Thursday, MAY 22, at 6:30 pm, to discuss, defend, and agree-to-disagree with other music fans about what makes your favorite album or song by a selected artist their definitive ‘best!’
We'll meet at the WAB's outdoor Port Bar, weather permitting; moving indoors in case of inclement weather.
Album club is a way to approach and discuss music in a way similar to our book clubs & film clubs. At each meeting, we will highlight one artist from our extensive music library who has released five or more albums and discuss/debate which album of theirs reigns supreme (and why!)
But wait, there's more:
Before the meeting, we invite attendees to submit their favorite track(s) from their favorite album by each month’s selected artist. From there, we’ll compile and create a playlist to listen to at the W.A.B. on the night of our event, listening to each of our pre-selected songs to hopefully arrive at a renewed appreciation of the artists we love while keeping our spirited debates respectful…
See you at the WAB!
