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.

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.

Tame Impala - Currents (2015)
It’s December already! Off to Melbourne on Sunday for my daughter’s wedding. I thought it more than apt to honour the Aussies with one of their more competent and revered musical eccentrics.

Eminem - The Eminem Show (2002)
I randomised my selection this evening. After causing a recent furore over his rather public disdain for Trump, it’s possibly a good time to revisit.

Robert Plant - Carry Fire (2017)
It was 10 years ago when Robert Plant and Alison Krauss treated the world to a brilliant collection of songs where their rock and bluegrass worlds intertwined.
