- The Record of the Week Club was a collaborative music project among musicians in Winnipeg, Manitoba, which took place in 2008. Organized by Mike Petkau of the band Les Jupes, the project brought together a group of musicians each week to write and record a song in 12 hours. Musicians involved in the project were selected by Petkau, but were not informed in advance of who they would be collaborating with. The project took place over 16 weeks, with a different group of musicians convening each week. Each song was released for sale the next day, at a price of 99 cents per song, to raise funds for the renovation of Winnipeg's West End Cultural Centre. The 16 songs were also released as a complete album in 2009. For the album's release party, 20 of the musicians involved in the project performed a live concert at the West End Cultural Centre of the entire album, as well as five songs which were newly composed by the same process exclusively for the live show. The project was most famous for "Keewatin Arctic", a song recorded by singer-songwriter John K. Samson, electronic musician Blunderspublik and Inuit throat singer Nikki Komaksiutiksak in the 13th week of the project. (en)
