The Listening Club - 1st November 2020

Greeting folks,

Pinch and a punch and all that. And happy spooky time too, if that's your bag. Meanwhile it's all eyes on the US, and crossing fingers firmly that President Snake Oil doesn't convince enough morons to put their X in his "I'm a narcissistic racist" box. Things and plans the world-over are going to be very different if he does, that's for sure, so chalk out your pentagrams, sharpen your broomsticks, fire up your cauldrons and let's help banish this orange fuck for once and for all.

Last week, chez #LC, @samquitter was in the chair, reaching back for the Sound Of '79 in the shape of Gary Numan's "The Pleasure Principle", which brought forth reminiscing and bopping in equal measures. Thanks to Sam for the pick, and for sailing the frisb over to @akx, who's got this to say by way of introduction to tonight's selection...

"Hey,

It's been a long week looking for and at houses, and carrying boxes

and bags from place A to place B (and curiously enough, these two

things are unrelated).

So, instead of a spooky scary pick you might expect (from me?!) around this time of the year, here's something entirely different and rather non-serious that actually came up as a Spotify Weekly Pick during a drive, and it had both us listeners laughing out loud and going "what the hell?!". We need some of that, don't we?

#drinkingclub: whatever you think goes down well with half an hour of slavic covers.

Hugs from the dark north,

Aarni"
