Greetings folks,
Hope you're all doing fine and keeping safe. Everything's twinkly in Amsterdam, as the Dutch festive season gathers momentum (it is huge, starting with the arrival of Sinterklaas on the dutch shores in Mid-November, then a couple of weeks of small present giving, hitting its first peak yesterday with Saint Nicholas Day, and after that you have the more globally-familiar Xmas in a couple of weeks - kids have got it made here!). It's a bit overkill, but all the windows festooned with (tasteful, natch) lights along the streets and canals are indeed very pretty, and everyone's in a good mood, even if social distancing seems to have gone out the window (our infection numbers are going back up, grr). Swings & roundabouts, as usual.
"I'm not even going to try to be coy about this artist. You know them. You love them. At least in their first incarnation. In their final incarnation, *JonStewart* eh...maybe not so much.*JonStewart*
This is one of my favorite albums, although I haven't listened to it in years. I understand it did well on the other side of the pond but I honestly don't know anyone on this side who is aware of it. Although it is quite similar to previous albums with their lush instrumentation and inventive lyrical ideas, (and the decidely British sensiblities) this particular one seems...brighter? Pop-ier?
A month or so ago I asked Google Home to play it and have done so several times since. I always end up walking around with all manner of ear worms for the next week or two. I hope it does the same for you."
