First Song/Last Song-Hosted by Ben-January

Well well well. since last record club i think i've told most of you the theme for the next *****rcep, but if not here it is:

first track / last track

what that means: you are to select one opening track from a record and one closing track from a record. they need not have to be from the same record unless your favorite first and last tracks come from the same record. while we don't require specific content guidelines in record club there are a couple of things i will say: no first or last tracks from best of compilations, various artists, mixtapes your high school sweetheart gave you, singles, eps, or soundtracks. while you may have your own opinion, to me those aren't fucking records. also if the song you want is actually track two or the second to last track from a record because the artist decided to have an 23 second "intro" or spoken word "outro" track, tough shit. intro and outro tracks are the first and last tracks of an album. take it up with the dumb-dumbs who make records that way.
the goal here is to get a cd with 8 phenomenal opening tracks and 8 phenomenal closing tracks. what makes a opening track or closing track phenomenal is of course up to you to decide.

one change will occur in the normal rcep rules:

as always every one will be playing 2 songs, but at my record club you will not be playing your first song twice. Each song will be played once and discussed.
Also, please play your track one first and your last track second.
