Greetings folks,
Hope you're all doing okay and keeping safe. Amsterdam is in the throes of a weird weather turnaround, as we go from several weeks of sub-zero icing to a week of 15°C with not much in between (and officially the hottest Feb temps here ever). So a bit of unexpected promenading around the city has been in order, even if most shops and bars are still locked down (socially-distant walking-with-a-beer is definitely the Amsterdam thing-du-jour), and today a bit of early spring gardening and general pruning, sweeping and tidying outdoors, and the place is feeling all the better for it....
Also to note that next Sunday is the second #vortex of the year, this time a #coversvortex, which someone pointed out we hadn't had for 7 or 8 years (time, eh? sigh) so please get the upload location from @akx and depostit a couple of cracking cover versions as soon as you can, and we'll boogie down with them next Sunday.
Last week, we had @doctorx34 in the chair, double debuting in fine style with their pick of Battles debut album "Mirrored" which had the assembled grooving in a variety of time signatures. Thanks to Mary for the selection, and for sailing the frisb back across to these shores to @nessiest, who has this to say by way of introduction to tonight's pick...
