The Listening Club - 2nd October 2022

Greetings folks,

Hope you're all doing good. Amsterdam is settling into early autumn as previously reported, but despite forecasts to the contrary (and event cancellations resulting), it's dry, mild and sunny right now, which is jolly nice, as we're off out soon for a bite to eat and then entertainment in the shape of Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, so there you go.

Quick note that due to another addition to the gigging calendar, I'll not be around on Sunday 16th October, so if anyone is available to do this here shebang, please let me know, otherwise it'll be awful quiet...

Last Sunday, we were wringing out the last of the mourning whine with our #royalvortex, which definitely covered the full range of regal interpretations. Many thanks to all who chipped in tunes, and to @saucer for wrangling and assembling. The very same @saucer is now also here clutching the frisbaton with this to say by way of introduction to tonight's pick...

"Once again, the challenge of the hot seat for LC sent me down a hundred musical rabbit holes, which is so, so fun. Again I'm reminded that our kind (humans) produce an incredible amount of beautiful audio art, each piece of it an act of resistance against fascism/dullness/amorality/stupidity.

The first two tracks on this record come from a pairing of artists you might not expect to even be aware of each other, let alone collaborate to create something so wonderfully of a piece. The other tracks have less odd provenance but are apparently not available for streaming or download... outside of this taster for Listening Club. I hope you enjoy.

Suggested pairing: chocolate."

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

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