TL;DR: Book (album) club is coming! First thread will be next week. First album will be Madvillainy by Madvillain (MF DOOM and Madlib)

Long Version: Next week I am starting a weekly book (album) club thread. Every week will be a different album and anybody who is interested can give it a listen, then share their opinions in the weekly thread!

I'm open to feedback but at least at first I am going to try to mix up the decade/style of the albums each week. I know I personally tend to get stuck in the "type" of hip hop I like. I want this to be a way for myself, and hopefully everybody else, to listen to stuff they might not have heard before or wouldn't normally check out. That said, my goal is to make sure we are listening to good albums so while the style of the music might vary, hopefully the quality does not. My current plan is not to use any album less than ~3 years old. Since I'm trying to only pick good albums, albums newer than that are likely still being discussed, mentioned and listened to semi-regularly.

I'll keep a running tracker at the bottom of each thread of the next few upcoming albums. That way if people want to listen to the album before the thread is posted, they can be ready. Alternatively, if people want to listen after it is posted, I hope we can have each thread active for at least a couple days after each post.

The Sidebar will also have a link to the most current version of this thread. I HOPE to keep that link up to date...we will see how I do on that.
