Greetings folks,
Hope you're all doing okay. Spring is bouncing around Amsterdam quite happily now, leading to some decent "no jacket required" weather (finally) on Saturday and even a spot of al fresco dining, hoorah. The flowers around the house haven't seemed too bothered by the cool temps, and have been racing each other to bloom, so everything looks lovely, must say - hope it holds out for Kings Day!
Last Sunday saw @zbender deliver a smooth and soulful selection in the shape of Hollie Smith's 2007 album "Long Player", which hit the spot for many folks. Thanks to Ben for the pick, and for leaving it up to me to fling the frisb, which landed at @EmmaPrice's feet..."Greetings my fellow Listening Clubbers. I hope the sun is shining on your corner of the world. Here, I'm in the midst of festival season planning and lineup playthroughs (yes there's a colour coded Glastonbury spreadsheet) My partner Si and I have somewhat differing music backgrounds and there's a whole wave of bands & genres that are fundamental to his love of music that are all new to me. Which is ace and kinda part of the ethos of Listening Club. So I dropped the frisbaton into his willing lap and here he is with the intro.
Over to you Si:
Sometimes these algorithms that seemingly funnel media to us comes up with a winner. And that is what happened to me with this band. Conveying a feeling of being hit in the head with a mallet dipped in candyfloss, it grabbed me from the first track and it's stayed a favourite album ever since. A wonderful, vivid wild ride of an album.
BTW Si's shiny new Mastodon account is https://mastodon.social/@room2skank"
