Howdy folks,
Hope you're doing okay. Autumn seems to have grabbed Amsterdam by the metaphoricals most definitely - it's been a blustery wet week and a half, so sitting in with a cup of something warming and occasionally darting outside for a social activity, like scoffing an eye-watering tableful of Sichuan goodness or catching ESG's last European show ever (so I believe), which was as suitably joyful and boisterous as one would hope. More of that to follow, I predict!
"...let's get italic. Have to admit I've had this pick ready for a while, when another picker was rather late with their submission, so I decided to get a backup together just in case. Fortunately I didn't need it then, so here 'tis!
I noted a conversation on Mastodon a while back about the tendency for #LC denizens to mostly pick "western" "rock-derived" albums, which is to be expected, for the most part, as that's pretty much where and what we're from, but as I get older I definitely consider a larger and larger part of my listening to be outside of those areas, as my ears always remain thankfully curious, so here's something, possibly unexpected coming from me, that doesn't fall into either of the aforementioned categories.
This is a collaborative album by two legendary artists, one of whom has been radically widening the scope of their proscribed "style" over the last 50 years, whilst the other has spent their even-longer career finessing one style to absolute perfection. What happens when such disparate artists meet, readers? It's time to find out.
(PS I'd say the first tune is possibly one of the best-known, so if you know them, you'll recognise it immediately)
#drinkingclub = mango lassi."
