Around The World In 80 Plays

Jimmy Dread · 2015-09-12T13:50:57-04:00

Hello. Right - got an idea as discussed on Plug last night. Between us we cover a pretty decent chunk of the globe, so I thought it might be an idea to send a record round the world for everyone to spin and review (on this thread), along with a little book to scribble greetings/musings/haiku/abuse in and an envelope to put a tacky souvenir/postcard in. Then when it's got to the last in the chain you can send it back to me and I'll sell the bastard thing on eBay or Discogs. You dig? Just think - you could stand outside your local landmark/restaurant/brothel with said record in your hand and contribute to this rather strange social experiment. Or just listen to the record and send it on - your choice. I'll give you all a couple of genre options from my collection that I am thinking of sending (nothing too obvious) at a later date, but this thread is really to gauge interest. You'd have to cover the cost of postage yourself ideally have a record player (as it's a vinyl LP I'd be sending (general consensus is CD might be more practical/economical) and even if you don't give two hoots about the music you could just add some scribbles to the book and tacky souvenir stash if you'd rather. And if you want to give a gift to the next recipient in the same package that's cool too. We'd have to PM our address to the one before us in the chain, so if you're at all worried (or embarrassed) about divulging your details this probably isn't for you. I'd also work out a practical route for the package so it doesn't go UK-US-Australia-UK-Canada-UK-US, for example. So, opinions and interest please. All comments welcome.

I think it would be a bit more fun if we aren't allowed to say what the album is. I know this would be a challenge if everyone has to review it in the thread, but I'm sure it would be possible.

I just think that would be a lot more fun than 'ah.. yes... we've been sending (album) around the world.'. It should be more of a surprise.

Hell I'd love it to be a surprise til it comes on. If there's a way to download whatever the album is onto a blank CD-R sort of thing and the only marking to be a "BEA's 80 Plays CD" in sharpie or something, that way you don't know what's even happening until the album is revealed at the end, no preconceptions based on what you've heard prior, the artist, anything.

Then again it might be a fun game to guess which BEAers have the biggest dicks. I'm sure there would be a bunch of fun surprises.
