The Czars - Best Of (2014)

Probably best known for the band that preceded singer John Grant’s solo career, The Czars made a bunch of stunning records years before his fame.

The Monochrome Set - Cosmonaut (2016)

Another record from my London haul, this vinyl/CD combo harks back to a familiar sound I first encountered and thought had ended in the early to mid 80’s.

Loop - A Guided Eternity (1990)

Not the usual Friday evening fodder, but when one wants to purge this is as good as it gets. This just about drop kicks every musical genre known to man (and alien) out the window but still transcends all of it.

Katatonia - Discouraged Ones (1998)

Also picked this up cheaply (on heavy vinyl) during a smash and grab run at TWH. These Doom Metallers from Sweden went all Opeth and lost the growly vocals.

Mountain - The Best Of Mountain (1973)

$15 at TWH buys a big slab of Mountain on vinyl at the peak of their career. I’d pay a lot more just to have a pristine version of “Mississippi Queen” on analogue.

Kristin Hersh - Wyatt At The Coyote Palace (2016)

I looked high and low for this (you definitely won’t find this on Amazon). I finally got a copy via The Book Depository, delivered for $11.

Various Artists - A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble - The Wizards Of Oz (2015)

Usually the Aussies really know how to fuck things up! Rugby Tests against any opposition, humility (never ’erd of it!) and coffee (I’ve never had a good one over the ditch!

Opeth - Sorceress (2016)

Swedish Death Metal you can play to your church-going 90 year old grandmother or at the very least you are comfortable knowing you don’t have to reach for the volume controls every few minutes to avoid the growly bits.

Little Feat - Live In Holland (1976)

Fantastic DVD/CD set of Little Feat playing live at the Nederlands muziekfestival Pinkpop in Geleen. Picked up at the Red Shed for $6!

The Boo Radleys - Wake Up Boo! (1995)

Loved the Boos from their first proper record, 1992’s “Everything’s Alright Forever”. That was a rowdy, and somewhat murky affair (just post MBV’s “Loveless”) but definitely hinted of great things to come.
