The Listening Club - 18th June 2023

Greetings folks,

Hope all is going good, whatever you're up to. Still dry and hot here in Amsterdam, although some stormy bits and pieces are floating about, maybe we'll get hit, maybe not, it'd be nice to damp the dust down a bit to be honest. Looks like more of the same for us next week at Glastonbury, with a dust-dampening shower forecast for early Tuesday morning, then dry and not-too-hot for the duration of the festival, which, to be honest, is most regular glasto-goers dream forecast. Me? I'm always happy to be leaving the boots and waterproofs at home, especially when long distances have to be traversed... So on y va we go...

Not that it got mentioned last week (oops), but next week, as any fule kno, is Vortex week, and I'm away, so @JimMcCauley (blessim) will be running things here, and someone (@akx or @saucer? I forget, soz) will be compiling our customary mid-year #livevortex, so from you we require one or two fine examples of live musical performance, all the better to celebrate the solstice - dropbox details will follow I am sure.

Last Sunday @EmmaPrice was in the chair, sharing some super-boisterous festival-packing soundtrack in the shape of Call Me Malcolm's "Me, Myself And Something Else", which got the assembled pogoing as one for sure. Thanks to Emma for the pick and for ensuring safe transfer of the frisb across to @FaberFedor, who's here with tonight's intro...

"I stumbled across this blast-from-the-past while looking for something  to play in the club and thought Why not? 

These guys didn't chart over here IIRC but they were big, or at least pretty influential, Over There. I know at least one of these songs charted in the UK, not sure about any of the others. This particular album was a US-only release but still, I'm sure several of you will know these(?) guys from the outset. For those that don't, well, it's time for you to get edumacated [sic].

See y'all tonight!"
