Traffic - Traffic (1968)

Picked up this beautiful gate-fold vinyl record for bugger all from the big red shed. (BTW The Warehouse remains my greatest source of musical treasures - now isn’t that just a bit sad?

Bark Psychosis - Hex (1994)

Still enigmatic after all of these years, 23 of them at last count, I will never do it any justice by talking about it.

Iggy Pop - The Idiot (1977)

Bowie’s all over this. While “Low” was the high mark of his career, he lent an almighty hand to the Iguana’s rehabilitation at the same time.

Gary Numan - Savage (2017)

I was a huge Gazza fan back in 1979 when Tubeway Army gave us “Are Friends Electric” on the “Replicas” album.

Steven Wilson - To The Bone (2017)

What a load of bollocks to suggest Steven Wilson has sold out. Giving up his more “progressive” attributes to go all “pop” on this, his latest offering.

Mount Kimbie - Love What Survives (2017)

A package arrived at work on Thursday. This was sent via courier from Wellington after journeying as hand luggage all the way from London courtesy of my Son in Law Matt.

XTC - Drums And Wires (1979)

My first encounter with XTC was this record. Aside from the truly iconic cover that grabbed my attention, it was this record that helped me to move from listening to the marginally talented punk/post-punk bands to proper musicians that took risks.

Johnny Winter - Still Alive And Well (1973)

The best god damned Albino Blues Guitarist ever born in Beaumont, Texas. Full stop! Another one of those revelatory experiences as a 13 year old when big Sis brings this bitch of a record home.

Manic Street Preachers - Send Away The Tigers (2007)

Another fucking 3 years!!! Just when you thought “hey this might really happen?”, National hit their slow but steady stride with dirty, stinking politics (and probably just too many selfish voters!

Van Morrison - It's Too Late To Stop Now (1974)

For such a grumpy bastard, it’s surprising that Van Morrison oozes so much soul and humanity. Reality, apparently, is very different.
