Music club
Mrs V and I have an occassional music club. It's a bit like a book club, and is fun. The rules is this:

1. 5 tracks each, none over 7 mins.
2. Each track must be - in your estimation - a good track worthy of note - not just something that reminds you of your holiday, or when you got together with your boy/girlfriend.

And that's it. Take it in turns to play a track - and then discuss - great stuff.

Whoever's hosting provides food/nibbles, bring your own booze.

I've discovered all sorts of interesting stuff through it, from genres I'd never even considered before (my tolerance for free-form jazz, for example, is very low).

I masturbate, alone, in a darkened room,
listening to Lauren Laverne, and I'm still having more fun than you.

Only because
however dark it gets in your room, you're still under the misguided impression that perhaps, somewhere, there might be a reason to keep living.

I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no idea what you're on about.

Probably because he spelled the name wrong
It is Seymour Skinner, adopted son of Agnes, born Armin Tamzarian, you remember now? Silhouette night from The Principal and the Pauper? I do hope your musical evenings are not at the expense of essential popular culture televisual viewing?

I like the sound of this
Much more than I like the sound of a book club. Might be worth a try if I can find like-minded compatriots. The time limit is probably wise but would restrict me inflicting any Godspeed You! on people.

Christ. Really?
Are you and your peers not capable of simply having a conversation without some regimented Butlins novelty night?

Christ.

Also ... you should listen to this.

Even from you Vag
this actually sounds like a good idea. Now if only I can rope enough friends in so that we play more than 2 track all-night.
