Saturday, January 31, 2015 – 20:00 – 23:30
We’re pleased to announce that BCB Radio’s Buffet (@buffetdisco) will be putting on a “nice Christmas spread” for Record Club. It’s a proper spread as you’d expect. It’s err… a Christmas cracker, if you will (sorry!). Here’s what they told us they have planned…..
Saturday, October 25, 2014 – 20:00 – 23:00This month we’re going back to the 3 album format. Lyndon has chosen the records for the Crime & Punishment night on 25th October and an interesting bunch they prove to be. Far from the usual suspects, we’ll not be calling this lot in for questioning…
Scotland has produced some fabulous music over the years, and we played a whole load of it at this Record Club event. Just over a week earlier the ‘no’ decision had been made in the Scottish Referendum, so it was a good chance to talk both politics and music.
Three is the magic number, and so we celebrated three years of Record Club with tracks from our favourite albums over that time.
The Grand Depart of the Tour De France was just one week away when Record Club came around in June, so, like the rest of the world, wwe jumped on the bandwagon to create a playlist from the records brought along with a loose connection to the Tour De France, Yorkshire, cycling, etc.
We we’re not dissappointed as our punters were as broad or as obtuse as any Yorkshire folk should be. We had everything from the obvious – Pink Floyd: Bike, to the tenous – Echo and the Bunny Men: Killing Moon, and the inventive, All: Exercise.
Some great photos of the night were takien by Simon Sugden:
Full track listing will appear below soon.

We only played the 12″ of this – but it had to be done for the Tour De france night.
We had the suggestion of ‘doing a Smiths night’, and through the discussion we got onto the things that influenced The Smiths and who The Smiths, in turn, influenced, and on the night we had piles of records to choose from. Thanks to everyone that brought something along.
Of course there were plenty of Smiths albums and singles, but also great music from the likes of The New York Dolls, The Stooges, Soho, Suede, Gene, The Primatives, The Shirells, Chic, Sandy Shaw, Bowie, Echobelly, The Velvet Underground, and many more.
Hatful of Hollow was the popular choice for an album that got a full airing.
This is not the first Smiths album to be played at Record Club. In the past we playedThe Queen is Dead at our Independent Record Shops event back in October 2012, and Morrissey’s Viva Hate was played as part of our Debut Albums event.

On the night it came down to Meat is Murder or this. Hatful of Hollow won partly because there are simply more tracks on it!
Thanks to Lee for bringing it along and sharing.
Record Store Day 2014 came and went, and some Record clubbers got up very early and grabbed their Record Store day bargains, while others trotted along later and took their pick of what was left, while others just didn’t bother at all!
We ended up with a “diverse evening’s entertainment ranging from Rammstein to Spacemen 3 to early Adam and the Ants to, umm, Baccara (it seemed like a good idea at the time!)” as one fella posted on Facebook.
Yes sir, we sure can boogie!

Just because…
From the shoe gazing of Ride, through the melancholy of Radiohead, to the math rock of Foals; Oxford over the years has produced some cracking bands.
Join us on 29th March to discover the result of our Radiohead vote and to hear some Oxford inspired tunes, all of course on Vinyl for your listening pleasure.

Ride
1992
Ride’s second full-length record has been chosen as a featured album for our Dreaming Spires, the music of Oxford event.
Vinyl record sales are at their highest levels for more than a decade. Boosted by events such as Record Store Day, vinyl records are having somewhat of a resurgence.
So, to try get away from an image of a few “old” blokes sat in a darkened room reminiscing about the good old days (not that there’s anything wrong with that), we thought it might be a good opportunity to embrace the new, and celebrate the continued success of our much loved format.
Heck, it might even be fun to listen to some new vinyl without years worth of scratches.
So with the help of Record Club regular, Andy, we restricted this event to vinyl people have bought since the start of record club in September 2010.
To kick start things Andy chose Restless Idylls by Tropic of Cancer (2013). The vote for the other albums to be played on the night, resulted in us hearing the latest fromMogwai and Neko Case.

Mogwai
2014
In “Record club plays something from this year” shocker, it was great to hear Mogwai (again). This is their 8th studio album, and the winnner of the poll for our New Vinyl event.
Restless Idylls – Tropic Of Cancer

How one man manged to vote 18 times to get this record on our New Vinyl playlist I’ll never know, but I’m very glad he did.
