Seems like a thousand years ago that we were meeting in this space to listen to Bobby McFerrin, doesn't it? It was a long year, but it was also a good year too, at least as far as Record Club goes. Lots of good music... okay, interesting music... okay, music for sure. Lots of music.
This is the final week of 2022, so it's the final week to secure your invitation to the RC Party! Write as many reviews as you want for any album you haven't reviewed yet! Check out the archives for some ideas!
And hey, it's Christmas and Hanukkah right now, so I'm not going to keep you. Just head down to the music, enjoy it, and, as always, let us know what you think! This Sunday write-up is hopefully going to look a little different in the new year. See you then! Enjoy your holiday!

READING SOME SHIT: Stereogum had a whole feature a few weeks ago about how the Philadelphia Eagles put together a fucking Christmas album.
PREVIOUSLY ON RECORD CLUB: Well, the co-producer for the album, Charlie Hall, is also the drummer of RC alumni the War on Drugs, so there's that. But I have something else in mind. Let's look at every single Eagles win since Record Club started, and note what the RC album during that week was. Maybe we can find a pattern, and thus choose wisely in January to propel the Birds to the Super Bowl.
