#13 - October 2012

Stroble hosted sesh number 13, on a cold & wet October evening. Everyone warmed up with some Rogue Voodoo Maple Bacon Ale, and then proceeded to the basement to warm-up the new (used) Pioneer receiver.

Oh yeah! We had a first–someone spun a record that no one had ever heard before. Including the LP's owner. Turns out that Rock 'n Roll Rocket is the funky white-Dad jam. (Later, we did spin the 45 of "Moonlight Feels Right" from Stroble's personal stash.)

#12 - September 2012

Meeting #12! Hey, we've been a club for a whole year. I think that means we get to start wearing strange hats, or have laminated member ID's, or ... something cool-er. Shawn must've known, and brought commemorative gifts (music...of course).

#12 was at Drew's. There was bacon...lamb bacon, to be specific. (Did you know baby lambs are actually 99.8% bacon?) And bacon saltwater taffy acquired in Monterrey, California.

#11 - August 2012

Meeting #11 was really fun. It was held at my (Jon's) new house, in the "record room." A couple guys didn't make it, but that seems to work out OK usually. We seem to be averaging around 7 people per meeting, even when a couple regulars aren't able to attend. Anyway, here are the sides we played. Some dudes were trying to hate on my choice of D'Angelo's Voodoo, but anyone who has listened to that album all the way through knows it's a STONE COLD FUCKING CLASSIC.

Oh yeah, and we ate some bacon cheese hotdogs. You know it was delicious.

#10 - July 2012

Meeting #10 was at Shawn's house, and it was a blast. Really odd mix of styles at this one, but all pretty interesting records. BLTs and good tunes on a pleasant summer evening. We even left the front door open - it had a great view of the Broad Ripple Dog Park. Fun times.

#9 - June 2012

June's session was super fun, pretty much like every time. It was at Allen's and there was a full onslaught of Bacon foods. Only two minor heart attacks. Lots of rock and roll.

I don't remember which side of any of these was played, just guessing at this point. I wasn't taking notes at the time, but I'll do better. Frank Reber helped keep track of what was played, and he took a lot of great pictures of our monstrous creations, such as these:

Bacon Martini

Bacon-fried Bananas, Bacon, and Peanut Butter Sandwiches

John:

Lou Reed - Transformer (1972, Side A?)

Ryan:

Marcos Valle - Previsao Do Tempo (1973, Side A?)

Matt:

Explosions in the Sky - Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever (2001; Side B?)

Allen:

Funkadelic - Funkadelic (1970; Side A)

Jon:

The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat (1968; Side B)

Shawn:

Birthmark - Antibodies (2012; Side A?)

Frank:

The Flaming Lips - Embryonic (2009; Side A)

#8 - May 2012

I don't know the order because Drew lost the notes. He doesn't want to update the blog anymore, so it's about to get WAY SHITTIER. Also I'm leaving off links because I'm lazy. I assume you are less lazy than me and can look up the albums on your own.

Session #8 was in May, at Matt's house, outside. It was chill, it was in Fountain Square. Nice weather and Matt grilled food. His stereo sounded DOPE.

Oh, and Madsen brought a 45 MADE OUT OF BACON:

Drew:

Dinosaur Jr. - Beyond (2007; Side A)

Matt:

Weezer - Pinkerton (1996; Side B)

Allen:

R. Stevie Moore - What's The Point?!! (1984; Side A)

Madsen:

Marc Bolan - You Scare Me to Death (1981; Side A?)

Jon:

ZZ Top - Tres Hombres (1973; Side B)

John:

The Kinks - Sunny Afternoon (1967; Side B)

Bryan:

David Bowie - Low (1977; Side A)

#7 - April 2012

Jon hosted #7, right back where we started #1. Club expansion happened, and we had a record 8 sides spun. "The" bands were heavily represented. Bacon baconed the bacon.

Ryan:
