The Listening Club - 28th November 2021

Greetings folks,

Hope you're all doing okay and keeping safe. Feeling cozy and replete here in Amsterdam after a rather fine Sunday lunch out, which is about all we can manage right now thanks to a gov't extension to our sort-of-lockdown-thing, so now nothing's allowed to happen after 5pm. Great, eh? It does seem to be having an effect though, as our curve is flattening, but hey, now we have a few planefuls of Omicron to deal with also. What a life, eh?

Last Sunday we had @akx in the chair, welcoming in the frosty season with his pick of Nils Frahm's "Wintermusik", which soothed the assembled quite successfully. Thanks to Aarni for the pick and for sailing the frisb over to me, @kleptones. Fortunately I have an extra week to ponder my pick, as first...

Yep, end of the month, so it's vortex time again, and this time, it's a i-cant-believe-we've-never-had-this-before #christmasvortex (not to be confused with the best-of-year #festivevortex, which will be happening this time next month!), so, as lovingly gathered and assembled by @JimMcCauley, here's a selection of christmas songs, or is it songs about christmas? Or a bit of both? Let's find out...

Download's here, stream's below.

See you 8pm GMT tonight!
