The Listening Club - 19th March 2023

Greetings folks,

Happy birthday to us! Yes, I actually remembered without prompting, we are 11 years old, and looking very spiffy in our big-school uniform. Or something. Anyway, well done us, and everyone that's jumped on board over the years, it continues to be a totally unique form of fun.

Also it'll be #vortex time next Sunday (time flies and all that), so get your theme brains on, discussion to follow later today...

And also also it's lovely to see that some folks are planning to come over to Th' Dam for traditional Kings Day celebrations n ting - holler on Mastodon if you are interested and want to team up with others... Looking forward!!!

Last Sunday @JimMcCauley was in the chair, psyching out the assembled with their pick of "We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal" by The Amorphous Androgynous with Peter Hammill, which hit the spot for many, so it seemed. Thanks to Jim for the selection, and for sailing the frisb over to @akx, who has this to say by way of introduction...

"I had a spooky dream (not a nightmare, but a cool, exciting spooky dream) so I figured I'd go for a spooky pick today... but fear not! It turned out to be a decidedly anti-spooky morning and afternoon and I scrapped that idea and instead found this by way of shuffling through albums with Plexamp (which, by the way, I recommend checking out if you already have music in Plex). You've probably heard the original music (from 1725), and you may have heard these reimaginations too (as I understand they're occasionally used in e.g. commercials and such)."

Right then. Download Google or direct, or stream below:

See you 20:00 GMT (beware daylight savings changes, it doesn't happen for us until next week)
