@Yer Ol' Uncle D!!! I think I speak for us all when I say that I’m excited to see what you dig out for us from the depths of your large collection! Aim for a thread start date of around 1st August please.

@Thackeraye i hope you’re ready to get yours going in 10 days or so!

If I was a wise man I would've saved Paul Pena for this.

And @Lee Newman is correct - Paul Pena is fire. Here's a link if you missed him...

The N&G Listening Club V1 - Archive only

I have been behind on this thread for so long and I apologize to those who have picked albums in the meantime while I've not been active here. But I'm working my way through the albums now! First one, Hiatus Kiayote - Choose Your Weapon (chosen by @Splunders ) My opinion is very similar to...

may i ask what happened to the old tradition of the person doing the ROTM this month saves a few spaces for the reveal, an archive or the original post, and probably some explainations. and the person who did the LAST ROTM does the clue collecting and managing the guesses so there is no bias in the system.. i remember that being a thing until a couple months

I think it sorta stopped in month 10 and never really came back. Either way it’s all gravy, its not the most fun job to do when you don’t know the pick so if the pickers are happy to do it I think it works much better.

I have a feeling you may have some residual loathing from when you had to organize the clues and guesses for my month... 😂

Yours was a pleasure compared to the residual trauma of having done 2 for VMP, including the last one the month the forum imploded and they picked the terrible Phoenix record...

...a comparative pleasure though, it definitely added to the trauma 🤪

I really enjoyed helming the guesses for @Goatfish following my own month. It gives you another month of vested interest and it exposed me to artists like Death.
 
am i blind? where is the post with the obi strips @Alexander created for these? i checked the first post of the old thread but it doesn't have all of them updated/linked, and i can't seem to find another one with them linked even though i'm pretty sure there is one. thx.

for me, i was fine running my own thread. if @Crabbers had reached out to me i'd probably have just said they didn't have to unless they reeeally wanted to. and with how my may-june ended up going in real life, it definitely was best i wasn't relied on to run the following month's thread. if, in the future, someone wants/needs a thread runner, i can volunteer to do it to fulfill that obligation.

I think they are done up to volume 8 or 9. There aren’t any for ones past that. Towards the end of the year christob seemed to be pressed for time and wasn’t as interested in the whole thing anymore and didn’t really update Post 1 so there are some in the body of the thread that haven’t been linked to.
