Hola folks,
Hope you're all doing well and good. Still pretty mild for the time of year here in Amsterdam, which presents a nice background in which to watch the run up to the American election through gritted teeth. As with exactly four years ago, hoping once again that common sense prevails and the orange demon and his dodgy mates cult of personality are sent packing, this time for good. Also hoping, as you are, I'm sure, that unlike four years ago, the expected violence doesn't rematerialize. *throws salt over left shoulder and chants demon-banishing incantations*
As mentioned before, I'll be away next Sunday getting my annual dose of global music insanity at Le Guess Who, and it looks like @saucer will be holding the fort here, many advance thanks to him for helping out!

It is also difficult to talk about in a meaningful way without giving away all its secrets before pressing Play. Nonetheless, I suspect, as soon as we press Play there will be some who immediately recognize, if not it, what it represents. From the get-go it is obviously recorded live (so no spoiler there). At its heart it is a love letter to a very specific niche in the timeline of music history but it expands to represent much more. There is joy here, and love. Yes, this has been a complicated selection to make and, as it is a double album, it is also a big ask of the #ListeningClub members, so thank-you for your indulgence. NOTE: there will be a brief intermission between sets. Break out your best paisley and bell bottoms...and pass the Pimm’s..."
Right then, download's here, and the stream's below.
See you 20:00 GMT tonight!
