In their bio on Spotify, Shaking Hand added the line from Andy Shauf's "The Magician" that goes, "just a shaking hand without a concrete plan", so the band name could possibly be a tribute to that song as well!
Looking forward to another year of killer recs from you. Also thanks for reminding us about the Giri Nathan tennis book! I intended to pick it up last year and it wasn't in stock and then somehow fell off my radar. Glad to hear it's recommended, especially with the Australian Open going on right now.
Ohhhh yeah anything referring to Women's Shaking Hand gonna get an immediate listen

Whoa! I assumed it was the Women song since the LP bio mentions that band as an influence. Very cool.

This Victoryland record is excellent - thanks for the rec!
Links for those NTS shows?
My bad! I only use the app and had no idea these were available to share via web.
