Fleetwood Mac - Then Play On (1969)
My first foray into pre Buckingham-Nicks Fleetwood Mac and it’s a fucking mess! And that’s brilliant. Think “Tusk” a decade later?

Jason Lytle - Dept Of Disappearance (2012)
I swear Jason Lytle played a busker’s set at the Saturday Nelson market a few months back. My son Peter can confirm it.

VA - Califia: The Songs of Lee Hazlewood (2010)
Today we journey back to the introspective (read melodramatic!), syrupy, hit-oriented 60’s where production was far more important than the song.

Opeth - Damnation (2003)
Another stunning hi-res recording. This time from the world’s best exponent of Swedish psychedelic progressive extreme folk metal. This is an album that would not offend anyone except maybe the hardcore Swedish death metal die-hard who considers this record the moment Opeth sold their souls in favour of enlightenment and creativity.

Talking Heads - Remain In Light (1980)
Two tracks in and I’m fucking putty!!!! “Crosseyed and Painless” is such a stunning track it leaves me catatonic and with goose bumps the size of blisters.

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!

Television - Marquee Moon (1977)
I had coffee with a couple of work colleagues today and we got talking about music. (as you do) Among the conversation was mention of the band The Verlaines.
