The Listening Club - 22nd January 2023

Greetings folks,

Hope you're all doing good. Mainly clear but cold here in Amsterdam, good to have respite from the grey for a change. Apart from that not much else to report, it's quiet, and we should be grateful for that.

...and oh yeah, next Sunday will be the first #Vortex of the year, so we'll be canvassing for themes during tonight's playback, if you have any ideas, let us know in the chat... 

Last Sunday we had @soundclamp@mastodon.xyz in the chair, kicking off the '23 #LC season with his pick of Atsushi Tsuyama's "Henry The Human Horse", which charmed and bamboozled the assembled in equal measures, as is often the way round here. Thanks to Dan for the pick, and for sailing the frisb across to @AqiDraco@universeodon.com for their debut pick, and they're right here with the intro...

"It all started with a song. I had selected a song from this band for a playlist (wolf theme, let’s see if you can guess which one it is) years ago but never really checked out their other songs until a couple weeks ago when I started looking for albums for #ListeningClub. So, they are pretty new to me, it’s a bit harder than I usually listen too, apart from my 80s heroic metal or the occasional NIN, TOOL, or A Perfect Circle. It highlights a female singer in this genre. It’ll be interesting to hear what genre you assign this band. This music can evoke pretty strong emotions depending on one’s mood and can also help release emotions in form of loud singing along and head banging. 

The band is still active and touring across America in 2023. 

Drink Choice: Try a RAMMSTEIN liquor - Vodka, Rum, or Tequila. Whichever way suits your taste buds today. 

Non-alcoholic drink choice: The recently discovered yummy Raffaello Milk Shake. How to make it here)

Right then. Download's here, and the stream is below:

See you 20:00 GMT tonight.
