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.

Tortoise - The Catastrophist (2016)
Don’t let the cover put you off! It’s pretty hideous but I suppose it does lend itself to the awkwardness of some of the music.

John Foxx - Metamatic (1980)
In 1977, as a bare assed teenager - Ultravox changed my life. This was the great John Foxx years and those first three records changed my musical roadmap.

Matt Berry - The Small Hours (2016)
More minor key madness from Mr. Toast. OK, it’s the same song played 57 slightly different ways over 5 albums but I just love this guy.
