The Flaming Lips’ Zaireeka and the listening party as a social experiment
This sounds fun—also sharing this b/c it mentions my book a couple times and also talks about the upcoming iPhone version of Zaireeka.
“
Are record clubs the new book clubs?” the BBC recently posited in response to a monthly get-together in London where full-album listening is enforced with dictatorial authority (no talking, no texting—just like a movie theatre). I’ve been hosting a semi-regular vinyl night with a few friends for a couple of years now—a hear-and-tell involving beer and some of our most recent sonic discoveries. From time to time, I find out about other people doing the same.
