The Listening Club - 28th May 2023

Hey there, listening chums! @kleptones is en vacances this weekend so it's me, @JimMcCauley, doing the do for the first time in quite a while. Unfortunately I won't be joining you this evening as I'm assisting at an audition (having actually auditioned for the same play last weekend), but maybe I'll be back in time for the last few minutes. Who knows?

Okay, so last week it was @simonlandmine at the decks with his pick of the soundtrack LP from the famous 1993 film, 'Judgment Night', a very-much-of-its-time blend of raps and loud guitars that I'd never heard of, despite it being right up 1993 me's alley. Needless to say it hit the spot, so thanks to Simon for the pick and for flicking the frisbaton at @woj...

Who, of course, has an extra week to think about a pick. You know the procedure as well as I do; it's vortex time! I've been spending the morning assembling the #WorkingVortex, shepherding, cajoling and occasionally strong-arming 27 tracks into more or less the right order. Thanks to everyone who lobbed in a tune or two!

Download it here, or stream it below.

Enjoy! 8PM BST and all that, maybe catch you later on. Cheerio!
