The Listening Club - 19th October 2025

Greetings folks,

Hope you're doing okay. Another mild week here in Amsterdam, as autumn continues to take hold and the piles of leaves begin to mount up, I'm kinda hoping for a little rain soon to wash the streets down. That said, hoping the temperature stays mild for a little longer, as it's coming close to Le Guess Who? time of year, which of course also means I'm in need of someone to run things here whilst we're away, so if you can help out on Sunday 9th November, please let me know, thanks!

Last Sunday saw @iamwahl in the chair, sending the assembled into a gentle reverie with his pick of Lloyd Cole & The Commotions 1987 album "Mainstream". Thanks extended to him for the pick, and also for sailing the frisb across to @EmmaPrice who has an extra week to ponder...

...as we find ourselves in an unexpected mode, paying tribute to @FaberFedor, a fine friend and long time #LC comrade, who has departed the earth way too soon after many fights with cancer. In the time honoured words of The Warriors DJ, "I guess the only thing we can do is play you a song", So here's a #GroupHugForFaberVortex, sad that he wasn't able to stick around to hear it. Thanks to everyone for chipping in tunes and @kleptones for the mix assembly. Adios, Senor Fedor, your sharp wit and gentle wisdom will be much missed.
