The Listening Club - 17th February 2019

Greetings folks,

Hope all is good with you. A spot of reasonable weather here in Amsterdam, so throwing open the windows for a bit of an air out, and a slightly-earlier-than-usual session of clearing up the winter debris from around the outdoor-growing-things-area (it's not really a garden) has been the order of the day. And very nice too, perfect Sunday activities.

In the land of #LC, last week @xpollen8 was in the chair, getting obscure as all that with his pick of Wolfgang Tschegg's "Finder" (and some bonus tracks), which went down pretty well, so it seemed. Many thanks to David for the pick, and for sailing the frisb across to @brainspiritus, who has this to say by way of introduction to their debut pick...

"Happy springtime, everyone! At least in this corner of the back bar that I imagine #listeningclub to be, it is finally warm enough to not freeze the cymbals off a brass band anymore and put a spring in your step instead.

To celebrate, we have #zuhörclub again, with a German group that never gained much popularity beyond Germany and France, and a retrospective 2007 re-issue of parts of a five-album project. I was in two minds (or actually four of five) on what to pick, this being my first time, but a quick anonymous twitter poll suggested that I should probably go all out, which in my case means all odd, so prepare your drinks (#drinkingclub might be a Cuba Libre) and join us for music of the "various other/huh?" genre. I promise it's not Gregorian monks covering ABBA songs."
