Hello, everybody.
It's @corin_ja here, sitting in once more for our usual host @kleptones, who is off on travels today. How's everyone doing?
Been a mixed week here in London, UK. Some rain and wind, some lovely early autumn blue skies and a hint of crispness in the morning air that's leading to me digging out some long-sleeved cycling tops. Minimal cultural appreciation at the moment, at least music-wise. At the cinema I've enjoyed Weapons recently and off to see the new Conjuring movie today, I think. Also took in the Leigh Bowery retrospective at Tate Modern which is worth a visit if you're in the area.
As for #ListeningClub, last week we had @akx in the chair of the selector, regaling us with a fine slice of electronic psydub in the form of Nature Never Did Betray The Heart That Loved Her by Dub Trees, which seemed to get the assembled chilling and skanking in equal measure.
After some fumbled catches the frisbaton has been recovered from the next-door-neighbour's-garden-of-missed-frisbatons by none other than yours truly. Here's what I have to say about it:
"This choice is based on a book I read recently by the singer of a big pop group that had recently got back together to put out a new record after many years hiatus. In the book, the front man described how much they had been influenced by the artist behind tonight's selection, an artist who had sunk into obscurity for a long time. The description of how much this artist meant to the singer moved me, and I sought out the record they had singled-out as being particularly influential to them. So here it is, I present it to you. Some of you will have guessed from this tortuous description who I am talking about, but I will reveal all at the end anyhow. Sorry if this is a real Marmite pick. I had to listen to this stuff a few times before it really grabbed me. Don't let that put you off though, I'm usually a late developer. #DrinkingClub probably a Scotch'n'soda or something."
OK, then. The download is here (right click, save-as) and the stream is below:
Hope to see you all later, 8pm BST (GMT +1)
