The Listening Club - 1st May 2022

Greetings folks, a pinch and a punch to you all.

Hope you're doing good. Feeling pretty much recovered here now, after Wednesday's rather intense shenanigans, (yeah, it was that good it took days to recover from, honest guv, nothing to do with my age at all really). Lovely to catch up with some folks, and long-distance hugs to those who couldn't make it - I realise it was going to be a bit of a crapshoot given the circumstances, but nothing ventured and all that, eh? And also the neigbourhood responded very positively to the whole thing, so there's a pretty good chance we'll be doing it next year too!

Anyways, back in #LC land, last week we saw off April in fine style with the #RenewalVortex, which burst forth in fine style - thanks to everyone who chipped in tunes and double thanks to @saucer for stitching together a fine springtime quilt from the selections. Back in regular-program land, we find @unmannedfuture clutching the frisb with this to say by way of introduction to tonight's pick...

"I don’t know what we're in the mood for — May Day as double entendre — so why not try this?  Not a band I’m familiar with, just doing my homework cuz I’m going to see them in a couple of weeks avec mon ami @pulkinghorn. I think this was originally on our dancecards in 2020 but you know, that thing happened.  I haven’t listened all the way to the end —I disapprove of its length, tbh — but for drinking club starters, you could filch a sticky bottle of some half-dead christmas liqueur from your parents’ sideboard, confident (and wrong) in the conviction that your theft will never be discovered."   

Right then. Direct download's here, stream's below:

See you tonight at 8pm BST (GMT+1)
