Greetings,
Hope you're all doing good in your 'hoods. Plenty hoods here in Amsterdam as we slog through another week of colder and wetter, as you'd expect. Still, we're off to Le Guess Who? next weekend for a better soundtracked form of cold and wet, so at least there's that. Speaking of which, I still need someone to take charge here next Sunday, so if you can help out, please let me know!
"How do you do, fellow kids? Look I know you guys look to me to find out who the latest beat combos are and what the kids are listening to, so I didn't want to let you down. Yes, this week's pick includes music from this very actual year, 2021. (Not strictly all of it, because I went for the two-EPs-by-same-artist format which I believe is within the rules.)
Earlier in this summer I went to Latitude with the family, and while it didn't quite live up to its reputation as the world's most middle-class festival, it wasn't the usual crowd, with a disproportionate number of both under-20s and over-50s.
This being the first live music anyone there had seen for the best part of 18 months, the excitement was palpable, particularly for the first few acts, who generally could not believe their luck to a) be playing at all, and b) have amazingly enthusiastic audiences going wild from the start of the sets.
This act came on the main stage as an early lunchtime act and seemed astonished and delighted - particularly given the distinctly un-rocky nature of the music - to have a massive mosh-pit of kids (including my own offspring) in front of them, many of whom had been too young to mosh pre-pandemic and now found themselves set free after being kept in their homes for over a year. It was a genuinely wonderful sight. And I liked the music too, which provided an amusing soundtrack to our journey home as well.
Hope you enjoy it. Sam X "
