Phil Collins - Face Value (1981)

It’s funny how things can become more acceptable over time. OK, I’ll concede that corduroy pants and feral cardigans will never be acceptable.

Pink Floyd - Animals (1977)

2017. What a fucking pig’s breakfast of a year. It’s been great in so many ways personally, a new Grandchild, a Wedding in Australia and we’re not bankrupt.

Protomartyr - The Agent Intellect (2015)

(punctuated with Tool’s “Stinkfist”) Fucking Kettley’s at it again!! Been out, come home. The prick’s got some awful, bassy house music blarring out his back patio (sounds like it’s coming out of his arse!

Bobb Trimble - Harvest Of Dreams (1982)

Trying to write some kind of coherent approbation of this record is nigh on impossible. I’ve tried to make sense of it, I really have.

Yeasayer - All Hour Cymbals (2007)

This wonderfully cheerful, possibly life affirming, record comes courtesy of a random glance at my CD’s this afternoon. It’s Summer, it’s hot and this bigger than life recording does the trick nicely.

Mi-Sex - Graffiti Crimes (1979)

Reviewed previously on 2nd March 2014 A band that certainly jumped on the punk/new wave band wagon back in the late 70’s.

The Belligerents - Science Fiction (2017)

We stayed with our very good friends Maurice and Viv (affectionately known as “Mo & Vi”) in Melbourne recently and immersed ourselves in Aussie culture.

Beaches - Second Of Spring (2017)

Just jumped off the plane from Melbourne (via a Wellington stop over) and brought this double slab of Aussie vinyl back with me.
