I’ve been a regular reader of Scott Pack’s blog, Me and My Big Mouth, for some time. I think I stumbled across it after Scott’s company, The Friday Project, published ambulance blogger Tom Reynolds‘ book Blood, Sweat and Tea. But whatever way I found it, I quickly came to enjoy Scott’s mix of books, music, photos, interviews and Friday Project news.

About a week ago, Scott had a brilliant idea:

To celebrate the fact that copying CDs may soon be legal and that my music posts on this blog tend to get more hits than book ones I am going to start a record club.

…here’s how it works. A small number of us, perhaps 5 or 6, join up. Every month (or whatever) we each make a compilation of music. We then burn copies on CD and send them to the other members. Simple really.

The thinking is that we should all end up with a pile of interesting CDs once a month and that (hopefully) there will be a bunch of new and exciting music for us to enjoy and investigate further.

I signed up in an instant, and there are now six of us busy burning our first CDs - themed, at Scott’s suggestion, as “Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself…” I’d say I’m not the only one who is having desperate second thoughts about their selection, but it’s too late now: we’ve agreed to get the stuff posted off for the weeked.

I’ll reveal my choices tomorrow, after the postman has struck. If you’re interested to see what’s in it, and what the others have chosen, take a look at the new Me and My Big Mouth Record Club blog. Who knows - you might find something you like.
