 Hello from the 

How are you? 

Oh, very well, my friend. How are you? 

I'm very well too. I am enjoying the vibe that's coming through the screen and this week there's so much dancing going on. I love it. Little 

bit. I'm a happy little bear for multitude of reasons.

One 'cause I'm mostly happy Beth, but I have an amazing offering for us. Chat about this week. 

I cannot wait. I have been melting into this one. It's been so much fun. 

My offering this week is a vinyl called Chris by Christine and the Queen 

Second album, I believe. 

Coolest  artwork, telling the story of what they're going for. Artwork is just bang on. It's on point for exactly what they're trying to convey with this record.

It's so cool. 

I have fallen in love with this record many moons ago for a multitude of reasons. One. Because Christine and the Queens did essentially a double of this record. So there are all English tracks and then I think all but one of them have a French version. by golly, is it stunning.

So if you actually find this online, you will. Get all 23 tracks English and French. For me, I was very sad in the sense that, one, I got to have this vinyl love it, but I couldn't find the French version that sold out everywhere that I went looking. So very sad. But I'll take what I can get. It's fine.

What was your top pick? 

Okay. I have to qualify here before I went from my top pick. The first time I had listened through this, or the first time I got down to sit, to listen to this was in a hotel room at about 2:00 AM and I think I just didn't get to bed until another hour and a half afterwards because I only listened to a couple of tracks and they did not leave my brain.

They're 

so good. 

It was, ah. What the, just that initial opening of Come see and I just went, oh my God, this is amazing. Just 

slop these offerings. I'm just like opening you up to a very different world. It's 

so much fun. The production on this is 

very cool, 

immaculate. It is a little bit synth wave.

It's a little bit poppy. It's got. I cannot describe how much fun I had listening through this. Again, music brain took off, so I started listening to the lyrics about a week later. But Quick Hot Pick was Girlfriend. 

Yes, 

because, and again, it took me the entirety of the last two weeks trying to pick. A hot pick.

 

For the pure reason, if I had so much fun with the record, this one sat really grooved, sat really nicely and chilled out after I'd listened through the whole thing once. Coming back to the record again. After listening through it. Then getting to chill down to this was really cool.

The message in its powerful as and it's, I've really love the fact that it will actually hit differently depending on how you're coming to it. But yeah, just sit back and melt into it. That's all I can say. That's the good version. 

And one of the tracks that has a corresponding English and French.

Yes. Yes. 

Yeah, it's stunning being the way the 

vocal work is incredible. Yeah, if you're, I have to say, if you're a fan of Prince 

 

 

if you're a fan of Prince, 85% of these tracks are right up your alley. And they label because music, I had a quick little dig. They rereleased prince's, MPL sound as a limited edition.

Fairly recently. So yeah, they've got that link and a lot of their artists have a similar kind of sound. They've got some Tame Impala on there. Major laser is on because music as well, label outta France. So much fun. Do you have a hot pick? 

 

I do have a hot pick. And just like what you were saying, super hard to just choose one out of the 23 tracks essentially. But you've got the English and French versions. If I had to roll it down, it would be what's her face?

What a 

great title. Okay, I've got a few poin
