Marillion - Marillion.com (1999)

I quite like prog (which stands for progressive rock). It’s a bit pretentious, like jazz, meandering, like classical. and definitely not mainstream, (un)like pop.

Tool - Opiate [EP] (2006)

I needed a short, sharp burst of proper metal-infused, hard-edged rock this evening. Hopefully to fuck up the neighbours (who have a tendency to party into the wee hours) but unfortunately you need a really crap sound system like theirs to do the damage.

The Beatles - Live At The BBC (Vol 1) (1993)

I picked up a fantastic boxed, hard back book at TWH a year or so ago “The Beatles - The BBC Archives”.

Marillion - Fugazi (1984)

I was never a Marillion fan but when you are confronted with a brand new, mint copy of their highly regarded 2nd album for $9.

PiL - Album (1986)

Today is John Lydon’s birthday. Being empowered with this knowledge, I immediately reached for my collection of PiL (Public Image Limited) records, Lydon’s post Pistols collective.

David's Session - Jan 2017

The themes were: F@%# Off 2016! - A song or musical moment that exorcises the ghosts from 2016. , Now that’s a bit random - Randomly select 3 albums (CD or vinyl only - no video) and bring them along, Who let the cows out - The track you select must contain a cow bell as an instrument.

Gerry Rafferty - City To City (1978)

I just couldn’t resist getting this widely acclaimed, newly remastered record on vinyl for the measly price of $15. The only downside, Paul Henry’s favourite song, the second song on this record, is “Baker Street”.

Paul Simon - Stranger To Stranger (2016)

Picked this up for a bargain at the great TWH sale. (Incidently, where else in Nelson can you actually buy vinyl?

XTC - Mummer (1983)

Possibly XTC’s most reviled album but for me it’s just full of wonderful moments. This is post Andy Partridge’s melt down and led to his refusal to ever tour again.
