Vampire Weekend - Contra (2010)
Same year and era as Tuesday’s record, but an entirley different beast altogether. An Afro-infused ryhtmic treat. Think Paul Simon’s Graceland but with autotune and a greater pop sensibility (and more hooks).

Tweak Bird - Tweak Bird (2010)
Dirty old psychedelic blues played by Illinoisan brothers Caleb and Ashton Bird. (They call it sludge metal in those parts!) Riff after infectious riff - it’s relentlessness is wall to wall.

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories (2013)
To be perfectly honest, I’ve never been a fan of Daft Punk. This changed this morning while reading my book “Vinyl Me, Please: 100 Albums You Need on Vinyl and Why”.

Slayer - Reign In Blood (1986)
I’ve got 30 minutes to spare this afternoon. I’ve therefore taken a speed over substance approach. This classic (highly regarded by speed metal purests anyway) is literally all over in a flash - but what a flash!

Blonde Redhead - La Mia Vita Violenta (1995)
Next month I’m only playing stuff from bands or artists that I have experienced live. This is a bit of a head start, a band I hold in the highest regard and witnessed live in London in 2014.
