TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 In light of the success of the "Rate the Album" thread, I have come up with an idea. How about we set up a weekly event where users are chosen to pick three albums and participants are given to the next week to listen to and review the albums? No major essays, like 100-200 words and that all important rating/ Caveats would be that they have to be streaming online (Spotify, Bandcamp etc...) and released within the last 6 months. I thought of the 6 month rule as an opportunity for folk (me!) to discover new music. We could use our top 10 albums from last year as the initial one. I would just need to collect names and then select three users randomly to choose their albums. What do people think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Spicy timez. I'll give folk to respond by tomorrow, then I'll message 3 people asking for an album recommendation. I will post the albums on Sunday, then we will have a week to muse on the musical wonders.

ca_gere Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 At the risk of just repeating exactly what your original post said, but just so i'm clear... you pick 3 folk to recommend an album to everyone else, everyone has a listen to the 3 albums and writes a wee review? repeat weekly bonzer idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stipulation for this first round is that it has to have been released in the past 6 months. Other themes can come later if this is a success.
