How to plug in
Low commitment to start. Come see the vibe, then decide if you want in for real.
-
01
Show up
First time, just come listen. No prep required.
-
02
Listen front to back
We play the album start to finish before anyone talks.
-
03
Talk after
Sound, lyrics, the whole record. Whatever landed for you.
-
04
Lead one, eventually
Whenever you are ready, pick the next album and guide the room through it.
What to expect
- A record played all the way through
- Honest, unpolished conversation
- A rotating cast of hosts
- Eastside, WA, once a month
Not this
- Gear one-upmanship
- A quiz on the liner notes
- Pressure to lead right away
- A cover charge, for now
Signal present
Plug in
Tell us who you are. We will follow up with the next session details.
Common questions
Does it cost anything?
No. If that ever changes it will be snacks-and-needle-money territory, decided by the group, announced loudly in advance.
Do I need to know anything about music or gear?
No. You need working ears and at least one opinion. Both are checked at the door, informally.
Do I have to bring records?
No. The month's host supplies the record. If you own a copy of a future pick and want to volunteer it, that's a fast track to friendship.
Where exactly do you meet?
Eastside of Lake Washington. The exact spot goes out by email once you plug in, because the internet does not need our home address.
