Description

We are a group of friends from across the globe, and every week we discuss, review, and generally chat about the latest and greatest in music. Every Monday we discuss the latest news and records we've been spinning, on Wednesday we review two new albums, and on Friday we discuss a famous (or 'infamous') album in our Record Club series.
