melody

We discussed Serge Gainsburg's bizarre rock operetta Melody Nelson in our Album Group last night. This operates like a book group but involves discussing two albums each month. So far we're covered Elvis Costello, Grizzly Bears, Them Crooked Vultures, Kate Bush, Laura Marling... and last night Serge and Jurassic 5.  Next month it's Sinatra and the wonderful Beirut (see below).
It's a splendid way to spend an evening, especially as we can listen to the music under discussion as we talk.
