The Listening Club - 16th June 2024

Greetings folks,

Hope you're all doing well and good. It's all go here in Amsterdam, as chez Kleptone gets ready for our forthcoming excursion across the water and into the farms of Somerset, and the piles of camping shizola that that entails (and getting everything ready to play some music on said farms, of course), also cleaning up the place for a house guest, and dealing with hype cat's regular seasonal mouse-flavoured offerings. All that and more besides, all soundtracked by the cheers of the neighbours as the Netherlands get on in the Euro 2024 ball kicking tournament. And the weather finally shows signs of improvement after a pretty feeble start to the summer round these parts, and just in bloody time, if you ask me...

Speaking of which, gonna be a vortex in two weeks, so thanks go in advance to @JimMcCauley who will be minding and creating that in my absence. Also now is the time to discuss the theme, whether to go with tradition or change the record, so to speak... speak now or etc.

Last Sunday saw that very same @JimMcCauley taking a fine conceptial leap with his manifestation of a chapter of  Rob Chapman's "Unsung : Unsaid" concerning a possible tracklist for a covers album performed by Nick Drake. An impressive and plausible selection, that got the assembled pondering considerably. Thanks to Jim for the mental stretch, and for flipping the frisb over to @Saucer, who's here with tonight's intro...

"Speaking of the Multiverse as we were last week, right? ...would you sometime sense an alternate timeline, or other, faintly resonate with you, your own ...that strange circumstance as echo? 

I don't know. Then again, I'm a sentimentalist who sees *everything* as poetry. You don't know how it ends. Or starts. This week's LC selection could be an echo of an echo. Of an echo.

Hope it resonates with thee.

Drinking club selection: Same as they're having for Listening Club over on Earth #71, or perhaps not."

Right then. Download's here, stream's below:

See you 20:00 BST (GMT+1) tonight.
