The Listening Club - 31st July 2022

Greetings,

Hope you're all doing okay. Bit of a grim dark grey day here in Amsterdam, humid as hell too, so I have the weird combination of both fans and lights on. Que sera, I guess, although it's been a successful day of very tedious administrative dealings with government entities and phone companies, so I'm feeling very pleased with myself, which makes a change all round...

Last Sunday chez #LC we had @holette in the chair, getting motorik with her pick of "Anaphora" by Mood Taeg, which succeded on all fronts it seems. Many thanks to Sarah for the pick, and for sailing the frisb over to @zensolo who has an extra week to ponder their pick, because...

...of course it's the end of the month, and that means vooooortexxx, this time a pretty self explanitary #heatwavevortex (apologies to any Antipodean readers, who would probably prefer the inverse, but hey, that's kinda the problem, innit?). Anyhoo, our man on the spot, @Saucer, has been gathering tunes all week and has this to say by way of introduction...

"Most of these songs about heat were written using it as a metaphor for libido or emotion, so it's an interesting twist to listen to them through the lens of climate disaster on the macro level and some very unpleasant (and sometimes very dangerious) days on a personal level. Thanks, all, for the privilege of playing with your awesome picks. Enjoy!"
