The Listening Club - 8th September 2024

Salutations folks,

Hope you're all doing good. Summer still hanging on here in Amsterdam, although the forthcoming week sees wet and grey heading our way, which is annoying. Still, the cultural season continues in full force, and Cornelius (and group) played an absolute blinder on Tuesday, so there's not much to complain about, apart from my inability to grasp responsive css and drag my website into the 21st century, but hey, at least I'm finally trying... ;-)

Anyhoo, last Sunday it was me, @kleptones, in the chair, trying to surprise as best I could with my pick of Spurv's 2003 album "Brefj​æ​re" which rocked and folked in plenty of epic directions. Following that, all that remained was to flip the frisb across to @woj, who is right here with tonight's intro...

"As usual, I had several ideas rattling around in my head for this week's Listening Club and was spiralling in on one of them to select but then I had an opportunity to see a film called "Rock Chicks...I Am Not Female To You" this past week and my plans were revised. With a title like that, it's pretty obvious that this pick is by a woman so gendered pronouns it is!. Today's pick was not in the film herself but is still a central figure as a good portion of the film features her former guitarist. While I knew this woman and some of her songs, I realized I wasn't as versed in her long carer as I should have been so di a little reading, did a little listening, and ended up picking this record to grace our earballs today. It's one of her comeback records, to an extent, and has a famous producer but that's not why i selected it. I mostly selected it because it's one of her longer records...and still under 40 minutes long! Anyway, hope you enjoy it!"
