From the Public Tool Kit:
“How to celebrate:
We welcome everyone to be a part of music history by celebrating
the first ever National Album Day with us. You can do this by:
– Attending album playbacks and live in-stores during the week
commencing 7th October. Events will be happening in record stores
and music venues across the UK. An event listing guide will be
available on the NAD website.
– Posting to your social media accounts about the Top 3 Albums
that changed your life. Tagging @AlbumDayUK and using
#NationalAlbumDay. Other ways to get involved on social media
will be on the NAD website.
– Tuning in to online listening parties, album playbacks, Q&A’s and
more activities across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
– Dressing up as your favourite album on National Album Day –
13th October. Either going into work, attending an event or throwing
your own album themed party.”
This doesn’t seem to be quite the same “separating music lovers from their cash” gravy train as Record Store Day.
I have the keys to the community cafe and a hi-fi system loaned by a local dealer, so I’ll be spinning vinyl in my little corner of South Cambs all day.

Go NAD!

Hur, hur, hur. Bollocks!

This is so easy for me, I`ll be wearing all white on NAD.

I was considering pretending it was Metallica’s Black album, just to make wardrobe easy.
I think a big white card with a window cut in it, like the cover of The Human League’s Dare – I can poke my mug through and pretend the be Phil.
Tony Japanese says
(Un)fortunately for all concerned my favourite album is Electric Ladyland.

Consider the Kevin Rowland fans…

I’ll be doing some decorating followed by a carelessly administered gin’n’tonic. Resembling the first Stone Roses album will be a complete coincidence.

One of my favourites is The Jam’s Modern World.
I will be spending the day standing under the West Way looking slightly menacing

London Calling. Anyone got a bass they no longer want?
Moose the Mooche says
Me and my six mates hit the cod-liver oil capsules hard enough to be pretty damn flexible, so it’s One Step Beyond for us.
