Time zone-appropriate salutation! @JimMcCauley here running ting while @kleptones is off doing lord knows what in, I think, Berlin. It's a lovely sunny morning in Bath right now but looks like it's going to cloud over any minute, which will be my cue to get on with some work or at least procrastinate a bit more.
Last week saw @eastvanhalen returning to the LC decks with a helping of New Orleans-flavoured R&B jazz-type stuff in the form of Jon Cleary & the Absolute Monster Gentlemen's Mo Hippa, which funked us all up good and proper. So thanks to Steph for the pick, and for conveniently flipping the old frisbaton my way.
Before I hand over to myself, a quick warning: this one's completely unsuitable for younger listeners, it features plenty of swears and vitriol, and it goes very dark in places, particularly around the 27-32 minute mark. If you see where it's going at that point and want to mute it until about 32:20, that's totally fine; I don't want to spoil anyone's evening but I do bloody love this album and there's literally nothing else I could have shared tonight.
Anyway! Over to me!
"Greetings, work unit. Do you ever worry that everything is irretrievably fucked? That the system is loaded against you and stacked in favour an elite that's not merely uncaring, but maybe even hostile towards you? Have you questioned the wisdom of labouring, day in and day out, to sustain yourself while making your CEO and directors ever more obscenely wealthy?
Trivial worries such as these can impact your productivity to the detriment of the Organisation, and to distract you from them we have arranged an enlightening and entertaining audio presentation for you, commencing at 20:00 BST in your local recreational facility.
This mandatory presentation will last approximately 45 minutes; you will be expected to make up this time at the end of your next work period. Please contact HR if you require counselling due to issues raised by the presentation. Work units are reminded that discussion of the Organisation's aims and objectives are strictly forbidden by the terms of their standard work contract, under penalty of termination.
The management calculates that this communiqué will take approximately two minutes to read; you will be expected to make up this time at the end of your next work period.
That is all. You may return to your duties."
All hail Discordia! Direct download's here, and you all know the score about HearThis and spoilers by now.
See you at 8!
