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.

Cream - Disraeli Gears (1967)

I remember seeing Cream’s farewell concert on the goggle box back in the early to mid 70’s. It was fairly brutal stuff that really didn’t hold that much interest for me.

Guns 'N Roses - Appetite For Destruction (1987)

I’ve never owned this record. I bought this classic record on vinyl as a 2 for $40 deal. It kicks arse.

Wolf People - Steeple (2010)

Any band that recycles the mighty Tull, flutes and all, better get away with it. While more an amalgam of everything 70’s, guitar riffs, long hair and flairs - it’s no gimmick.

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (1973)

The film “The Exorcist” scared the fuck out of me as a 14 or 15 year old. The bits I managed to watch anyway.

Henry Mancini - The Music From Peter Gunn (1958)

As cool as fuck and on icy blue vinyl to match. The first time I heard the Peter Gunn Theme was on “Peter Gunn” The Art Of Noise 12 inch single featuring Duane Eddy.
