Neneh Cherry - Man (1996)
A bit of Neneh this evening was warranted following an earlier full on, engulfed-by-music moment while driving back into Nelson this afternoon.

Dean Wareham - I Have Nothing to Say to the Mayor of L.A. (2021)
One of my favourite first songs on any record in my collection is Luna’s “Chinatown” from their album Penthouse. This new record from legendary* Kiwi Muscian Dean Wareham, reignites that moment.

Car Stereo Wars - For Your Comfort And Safety (2008)
Another selection from my penny each, CD haul from the Red Cross shop. There’s almost nothing much on the interweb about this Melbourne-based band or this recording.

Hot Chip - Why Make Sense? (2015)
On paper, I should probably hate this band. Instead, and despite their electronic, dance-focused, clubiness I fully imbrace all they have done.

Vanishing Twin - Choose Your Own Adventure (2016)
While the influences on this, Vanishing Twin’s first record are clear, it’s nearly impossible to categorise. Dream-pop weirdness interweaves with more grounded song structures and several songs clearly fit into the Stereolab and Broadcast camp.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Multi Love (2015)
After NZ’s post-punk band The Mint Chicks broke up, guitarist Ruban Nielson formed genre-fluid combo Unknown Mortal Orchestra with his brother and ex Mint Chicks frontman Cody.

Cat Stevens - Tea for the Tillerman (1970)
I’m not a great Cat Stevens fan but couldn’t resist buying this 2CD, 50th Anniversay edition of his best? (selling) album rather cheaply at Rotorua’s “Q Records”.

Fishmans - Long Season [Tidal & YouTube] (1996)
This amazing recording has been haunting my dreams lately (as well as causing a few offline listening nightmares on my iPhone with the finiky Tidal app) The 34 minute, single track is like nothing you have ever heard, and if you have the patience, has one of the most haunting melodies ever to hit your ears.
