The Listening Club - 8th March 2020

Hey there, listening chums! @JimMcCauley here, covering for an in-transit @kleptones. Just got back from a couple of late nights at a friend's in Wales, where I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Going to bang this out and then have a bit of a lie down; it's been that kind of weekend.

Last week saw @unmannedfuture hitting us with her maiden pick in the form of the eponymous debut album by psych-rock supergroup Heron Oblivion, which went down a treat with its big helping of fuzz and side order of wah-wah. Thanks to Ann for the pick, for chucking the old frisbaton at @eastvanhalen, who will address you imminently.

"Greetings, listening clubbers:

Spent part of this week miserably laid up with the crud (no, not the pandemic thingy) and then I tried to do a week’s work in two days and…it’s Saturday night, I have a headache, and the surefire choice I made last Sunday is of course rejected out of hand. So it went something like this:

<me> HALP I CANNOT DECIDE WHAT TO PLAY I HATE EVERYTHING I AM LISTENING TO

<bf> (casually) Here are a half dozen rad things that I just happen to be listening to atm

<me> WAIT I ACTUALLY LOVE ONE OF THOSE WHICH IS AMAZING BECAUSE I HATE EVERYTHING

<me> scours the internet for a copy to acquire, comes up with nothing anywhere WHY INTERNET WHY

And like magic, a download link appeared in my inbox, and I was saved. 

No better cure for grumpiness than the funk, so here it is — a bootleg of some fine and filthy funk live from Louisville, Kentucky in 1978. Cheers."

Cheers! Direct download's here, HearThis stream's below.

Word of warning to the trans-Atlantic contingent; I think you've just turned on daylight savings time or something, but we haven't and I'm far too tired to work out whether you'll have to start playback an hour later or earlier or whatever. This handy page should help you figure it out, though. So see you at 8PM GMT!
