Hey folks,
Hope you're all doing okay. Well, '25 just keeps on biting, eh? Barely two weeks in and if they're anything to go by I'm already kinda ready for it to end. Most everyone was aware that David Lynch was very unwell, but it's still been a massive shock (for me anyway) to wake up and find he will no longer be available to read us the weather report. Right now it feels like we need folks like David more than ever, to remind us, as many have said, of the beauty of the weird and the strangeness in the everyday, and to stop the world from sinking further into the humdrum. And we need to carry on doing that as best we can, in his name and to honour his memory. So long, Bud!
Don't forget also next Sunday is the last of the month, so we need a #vortex theme - pitch your ideas in the usual place later on, please!
Last Sunday saw
@Corin_ja in the chair, treating the assembled to a classic slice of dystopian rock in the form of
Pink Floyd's "
Animals" from 1977, which got a variety of responses from outright love to outright dislike. Thanks to Corin for the pick and for sailing the frisb over to
@Soundclamp who's right here with tonight's intro...
"Greetings, good morning, and some cases good nite! Are you ready for this? Of course not. But we're going to Australia for some do-or-die punk from this ferocious trio’s 1998 album. Ah yes, the nineties. When you could still get in the door in a cramped club to see five bands for five bucks (or sometimes less!) and all the fiddy cent beers you could handle. What a time to be alive. You thought the Cold War was over, but something else, something more insidious, was taking root. Now those chickens have come home to roost.
Drinking club: Something stiff because boy, you’re gonna need it.
