Salutations, folks.
Hope you're doing okay. June not really feeling like June right now here as it's been cool, showery and overcast for much of the week (and more to come). The odd patch of sun, but already pining for the lovely warms of a while ago (ymmv, natch). Despite the weather I'm feeling culturally and musically enriched after grabbing a cheap last-minute ticket to see a matinee performance of Philip Glass' "Akhnaten" yesterday, which was really rather excellent indeed, even if I did feel a little out-of-place surrounded by the smoked-salmon-sandwich-munching hoardes of older, classier Dutch opera-goers. Plus ça change for me, indeed, as always.
"Evening all. Hope you're having a good start to the summer and are successfully navigating the oh god I'm melting/monsoon season we seem to be having of late.
Way back many, many moons ago, there was a boy, he was not to put too fine a point on it a gaslighting ****. It also turns out there was another girl. She is a lot like me, a lover of music and whimsy and art in all it's forms. She's also one of my favourite people on the planet and I am forever thankful that circumstances brought us together.
Turns out this exceptional girl loves this band. So much so that she's travelled 6500km to visit me and see them play in London. Not once but twice so far. Listening back to this album today has reminded me of those awesome gigs and how a love of music and friendship can transcend thousands of miles. Just look at us today tuning in from across the continents.
There's quite a few interesting things this band does when they tour. I'll fill you in during the playback
Drinking club - something with a lot of ice in and possibly enough fruit garnish to cover your 5 a day.
Here's an opening question for you all. What's the furthest you've travelled to see an artist and who was it?"
Right then. Download's here, stream's below:
Hope to see you on the ol' hashtag at 20:00 BST (GMT+1)
