The Listening Club - 8th May 2022

Greetings folks,

Hope you're doing okay. Bright warm weather continues here in Amsterdam, which is a little worrying, as it hasn't properly rained for aaages and the neighbourhood niffs a bit, but can't really complain too much, I guess... *fans self with beer can*

Last Sunday we saw @unmannedfuture boggle the assembled with her pick of Car Seat Headrest's "Teens Of Denial", which rocked and rolled the posse in a multitude of indie styleees. Thanks to Ann for the pick, and for sailing the frisb over to the newly returned @akx, who has this to say...

"I had a long shortlist (does that make it a medium list?) and all for tonight's pick but finally chose something entirely different after shuffling through my music collection and stumbling upon a group whose track was my phone's alarm tune for the longest time and realized that hey, this might be the thing..... So! Going with the seasonal theme (and judging from the way my eyes are itching, it's starting to be spring for the birch trees around here too, not to mention there's actual light to see the trees) here's two EPs (themed spring and summer) back to back. Since I feel like the names of the tracks are a big part of this band's thing, I'm just going to list them out here for your enjoyment if that's okay. Okay? Okay.

* Spring: a natural alarm clock / waking up on a picnic blanket / gathering sticks for a nest / origami tulips / outside sandwiches / perfectly organized cleaning supplies / the very first palm tree of spring break / a sky full of hot air balloons / sprouts in the cracks in the concrete / wet grass

* Summer: Cannonball Splash / Splitting a Banana Split / Hot Sand / Race Against the Sunset / Grocery Shopping for a BBQ / Secretly Loving the Smell of Suntan Oil / Driving Home with a Towel on the Seat / Still Feeling the Waves When You Go to Bed

Enjoy!

#drinkingclub recommendation: something fizzy, possibly floral or fruity. An ice tea is fine too!"
