December’s Virtual Record Club: BEST OF 2020

I know, I know. This isn’t a year we particularly want to remember or celebrate. But for some of us, it has been a time where we’ve had the opportunity to take in more music, both new and old.

So to recognise that, this is a chance to share the music that you’ve been listening to most this year, whether that be a new release, an old favourite you’ve rediscovered or maybe just something old that’s new to you. These are strange times, so what the heck!

Some of you have already suggested tracks to play, but if you haven’t, there’s plenty of time to do that. Our Twitter and Facebook pages are the best places to get in touch, or you can drop us a line here if social media isn’t your thing.

And if you’re a Spotify user, you can add your tracks to our collaborative playlist too. Find it here.

Then join us online on Thursday 10th December at 8pm on Mixcloud to listen from the comfort of your own home. Just click this link and press play! https://www.mixcloud.com/live/GlossopRecordClub/

Yes – phones ARE allowed at this record club!

So remember, stay at home and listen online.

Also, don’t forget to sign up for our new ‘Album Of The Month’ virtual sessions starting in January 2021. Read the update here and sign up.

September’s virtual Record Club: 7th Birthday special

This September marks seven years since we started our monthly record club sessions, and while we haven’t been able to meet up like we usually do these last few months, we’ll be marking the occasion with another virtual online record club.

And as it’s our 7th birthday, the theme is SEVEN. Here’s what we’re looking for:

  • Seven in a song or album title or lyric.
  • An artist’s seventh album or single.
  • The seventh track on an album.
  • Bands with seven members.
  • A year that ends in 7 (1957, 1967 etc, but only 1977 from the 70s will be valid)

Whatever the seven connection, make a suggestion. Over to you!

Some of you have already suggested tracks to play, but if you haven’t, there’s plenty of time to do that. Our Twitter and Facebook pages are the best places to get in touch, or you can drop us a line here if social media isn’t your thing.

Then all you have to do is open our live audio stream on Thursday night at 8pm. Just click this link and press play! https://www.mixcloud.com/live/GlossopRecordClub/

Yes – phones ARE allowed at this record club!

So remember, stay at home and listen online.

NB: we’ll be using Mixcloud for our live stream, which seems to work best on a computer or mobile browser, but there is an app too if you want to give that a try. We’ll see how it goes!

We’re also busy with radio stuff this month too! Alongside our regular show on Radio Free Matlock (Tuesday 17th December, 8pm), which this month is a round up of some of our fave tracks of the 2010s plus a few listener suggestions, we’ll be broadcasting LIVE on election night (when it SHOULD be record club, but the labour club will be otherwise occupied). To listen, just click this link at 8pm on Thursday 12th December, and if you have any shout outs or songs or artists you’d like to hear, let us know on Twitter or Facebook and we’ll see what we can do. They don’t have to be political songs! Just so you know.

STACK-A-RECORDS – the new monthly Glossop Record Club radio show

rfm01_albums.png

Just a quick post to let you know that ‘Stack-A-Records‘ – our new monthly radio show – starts tonight at 8pm on Radio Free Matlock.

We’ll be on the airwaves on the third Tuesday of every month with two hours of top tunes, mixing tracks from records played at record club over the years alongside new releases, reissues, box sets and old favourites. There’ll also be themed specials plus occasional co-hosts and special guests from time-to-time. A bit like record club!

Appropriately, our first show is a debut albums special, with tracks drawn from a list of around 160 suggestions that came in via our Twitter and Facebook followers. So if you told us your fave debut albums, be sure to tune in to see what made it to the playlist! We’ll be tweeting pictures of the records played throughout the show if you want to join us there too.

Listen live via the player on the Radio Free Matlock website and also check out their other shows during the week. There’s always something hip, happening and interesting to listen to (this week’s schedule is below). The show will also be up on Mixcloud the following day to listen to at your leisure.
