Let's all listen to the same album at exactly the same time!

gmku · 11.30.2007, 12:37 PM

If we all got together and did this, who knows how powerful we could be? We could even change the world!

One of us has to come up with a CD or LP everybody owns, then we have to agree on a start time to play the album.

We then talk about the experience.

Let's all play the same Beatle's album backwards at the same time. It might speak to us and then there'd be hundreds of Charlie Mansons running around! Okay, so it's not such a good idea, I haven't had my coffee yet, that's all.

gmku · 11.30.2007, 12:51 PM

The White Album would be a good one to start with though. A lot of people own it. It would be interesting because some of us (the LP owners) would finish up later due to having to flip sides (unless we had it on a recorded tape).

Hmm... What do you think? The White Album?

█████████ · 11.30.2007, 01:02 PM

i'm starting to think you were serious about circle jerking in the past.

gmku · 11.30.2007, 01:04 PM

Okay. Stupid idea. I just thought...

█████████ · 11.30.2007, 01:08 PM

that quick answer just says it all...

EDIT: i'm just joking about the story you told the other day...

gmku · 11.30.2007, 01:15 PM

EDIT: And so I was the asshole. Apologies.

y'all are tards, get a life, posers/hipsters and fools.

Rob Instigator · 11.30.2007, 01:45 PM

I wil do it! I will rock th white album, 4 sides!!!

I don;t have it on white vinyl though./

records!

I am going to the record store at lunch!!!!!! yaya! fuck lunch!

gmku · 11.30.2007, 02:08 PM

Okay, Rob, what time are simultaneously coming
together with the White Album?

gmku · 11.30.2007, 02:14 PM

I just inherited two more copies of the white album, bringing my total to five LP copies. A friend is giving up her record collection, which basically consists of a few single Beatles LPs and the Beatles Collection box set. The box set is in MINT condition, and the white album has one of the best mastering jobs I've heard yet, aside from my German DMM white vinyl copy.

So besides early pressings of Abbey Road and Hey Jude, she also gave me a numbered copy Apple pressing of the White Album, with posters and pix in really nice shape. Even the cover isn't too bad. It's not an especially low number, higher in fact than my other numbered copies, and you can tell it's a later pressing because they started making the platters a little thinner in late in the run on those first pressings. Nevertheless, the sound is dynamite. She doesn't seem to have played it a lot, and the mastering is excellent.

So far though, I haven't heard an first pressing or reissue that beats my German DMM copy.

And only one of my white album copies doesn't have a poster. They all have the pix, though.

If you're playing a numbered copy, we'll have to compare numbers, too.

gmku · 11.30.2007, 02:16 PM

Okay, we gotta figure out a time. Maybe midnight tonight, Eastern time?

gualbert · 11.30.2007, 02:24 PM

At first , I thought it was a very weird idea , but the spirit of communion , that sounds nice !
Still , I'm opposed to anything by the Beatles ( maybe Sonic Youth instead ).

(dont ask in which format, it will ruin your mood more..but have excuse- have some amp problem and cant play my records for now, plus dont have it in vinyl, only abbey road).

I could do it now if Rob can.

gmku · 11.30.2007, 02:39 PM

Okay, well, I'm saying midnight tonight, so check in, people, if you can do your white album then. That's midnight on the east coast.

k-krack · 11.30.2007, 03:52 PM

I dig this idea, but I ain't got the White Album. So if there ever is an album I have, I'm in!

Suggest something.

Rob Instigator · 11.30.2007, 04:25 PM

I will play mine at 11:00 PM Central Standard Time to co-incide with yr Eastern Standard Time.

I will also be raging stoned, as I am going to go get a bong damnit.

I found nothing at the record store for myself. I was getting soem presents for my bro and some friends.
