Typically how many records should we curate for further listening? I'm having difficulty on that front tbh
no requirements- min or max. some people have used it as further listening in the same vein, or from the same artist, or as a chance to showcase very different albums they were considering. I know you had some others you were thinking about, you could spotlight those. or genre exploration a la goaty.
 
or you know- none at all. shine all that light on your one true choice.

Don't sweat this aspect as much. I think I did a combination of an album or so that were under consideration as well as an artist that influenced Nicole. And I honestly didn't even worry about whether my further listening were available on vinyl. I think one of mine is really expensive on vinyl (Electrelane). So I figured people could just stream it.

You got this, Gap! Stop doubting yourself. I'm looking forward to it. And the BB will be your cheerleaders! (Right @bfly and @girlnevergoesout ??)

YES!!!

Gap, I am so excited for your choice. You are a wildcard and I’m sure whatever you prepare will be amazing!!! Do not doubt what uniqueness you are going to bring! ❤️❤️❤️
 
Yeah it’s your game, you set the rules! I’ll be fun to see what you go for! As @bfly says there are so many ways you can go, or not, with it. I don’t think it’s any surprise at this stage if I reveal that my theme for this month, after I picked the album I did, is going to be an attempt to shine a light on contemporary Irish artists. I’m looking to narrow my list down to 6 great Irish albums across a few genres and from my lifetime that I’d like to shine a light on.
