David Bowie - David Live (1974)

On vinyl of course! Another essential record from my formative teenage years. First experienced, along with many other auditory pleasures, at my Uncle’s pad in Palmerston North.

Chris's Session - Nov 16

The themes were: Artist/band not  from USA nor UK., Old artist still do-oo-oo-ing it (cannot be younger than our oldest committee member, nor won a Nobel prize)., Another example/update for a theme that you enjoyed from a previous month/year

Curve - Cuckoo (1993)

Another great find at the record fair yesterday. Curve’s second release in pretty mint condition. This is a huge sound with lots of fuzz and riffy keyboards.

The Creatures - Boomerang (1989)

Dropped in for a beer at The Free House this afternoon with my lovely wife Sarah and son Peter. Coincidentally, a “Black Vinyl Brown Beer” record fair was in full swing in the yurt.

Giant Sand - Heartbreak Pass (2015)

Finally bought myself a copy of this. I’ve been listening to this on Tidal for months and just needed a copy for prosperity.

Mew - +- (2015)

You always know what you are getting with Mew. More beautiful, rich and melodious anthems that soar with multilayer voice(s) to the fore.

Psychic TV - Fishscales Falling: A Smorgasbord Of Delights (2016)

Heard this beast of a record while shopping at Rough Trade. I was fully engaged with it playing throughout the store.

Field Music - Plumb (2012)

This is one busy record. Always up there on my “should not be obscure” list, Field Music deliver truly dynamic, tempo changing, complicated but catchy pop music.

Various Artists - Califia: The Songs Of Lee Hazlewood (2010)

Brilliant compilation of obscure (mostly) 50’s and 60’s artists recording Hazlewood songs. Just as the title implies. Like all things “Hazlewood” there’s a real coolness factor and a wealth of hit’s and misses.

Steven Wilson - Hand Cannot Erase (2015)

The night before going to see this genius live in concert in Auckland, I thought I better give this another run through.
