My bad.

Does anyone actually rely on this blog for Rock Club info? If so, I apologize for my slackage in updating it lately. It's been a busy mid-semester.

Tomorrow (11/10) we'll discuss the Grateful Dead's American Beauty and smoking plenty of weed to establish the appropriate atmosphere (…kidding!!). Same time (7pm), same place (4420 HBLL).

$______$

Wednesday 10/20: Meet at Eric Severson's place* at 7pm. We'll be working on the fundraising letters (as discussed in previous meetings and emails), as well as listening to some good music (next week's album, perhaps?!), eating treats, being awesome, and probably playing some Rock Band.

Wednesday 10/27: Discussing Radiohead's OK Computer. Need we say more?

*Need the address? Email byu.rock.club@gmail.com. Actually, if you're not on the email list, you should do that anyway; they're generally much more informative.

Oh, Boy!

Tomorrow night we'll be gathering at our normal place (4420 HBLL) at our normal time (7pm) to play some good old-fashioned Rock Band! It'll be pretty low-key, but you'll learn valuable information about how you can help the club raise funds and qualify yourself for a free club t-shirt! It'll be a good time.

Next week's album, by the way, will be The "Chirping" Crickets by Buddy Holly and the Crickets.

Didn't mean to make you cry…

Just a reminder: Wednesday, same time (7pm), usual place (HBLL 4420). A Night at the Opera. See you there!

Jack White never wanted to play guitar. Ever.

Update: The location for this particular meeting has been changed to room 377 of the Clyde building--NOT the library.


This next Wednesday (9/22), we'll be showing It Might Get Loud, a totally rockin' documentary about three influential, talented guitarists and their different takes on the primary instrument of rock music. We want to start as promptly as possible, seeing as it's a full-length movie, so please try to be in room 377 of the Clyde building. 7pm sharp.

The Wednesday after that, our discussion will focus on Queen's A Night at the Opera. We have a playlist so you can stream if it you don't already own it, and if you want to do some background reading, have at it.

HEY, HO--LET'S GO!

Thanks to all those who showed up for the first Rock Club meeting of Fall 2010! For those who couldn't make it, here are a few highlights:

* We have a new VP, dedicated rocker Lauren Eberly. Anyone who would like to contribute to the club as an official may contact our current Club President, Eric Severson, at byu.rock.club@gmail.com.

* We plan to update our blog and our Facebook group much more frequently than in the past, in order to keep you better-informed as well as spread the word. We also have plans for increased advertising, fundraisers, and activities. We'd appreciate any ideas you may have to offer regarding viral/guerrilla marketing, and are especially grateful for the effort you put into inviting friends who might be interested in joining us. Keep it up!

* At our next meeting, September 15th, we will discuss The Ramones' self-titled debut. You may stream the album here. Discussion will take place as usual in HBLL 4420, 7pm.
