DavidAfter 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.

DavidI’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”.

DavidThis 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.

DavidAs a semi-completist Bowie-phile, I was inspired to acquire this 3CD box of revisited, pre-fame, early recordings. As a school kid in the early 70’s, and before I really knew who David Bowie was, I remember listening to the 1967 record “David Bowie”.

DavidA re-listen to this fabulous record cements this as one of the very best releases of 2022. Nothing conveys New Zealand’s societal pressures and bleak outlook, perceived or otherwise, better than Tom Scott.

DavidOk, when it really boils down to it, Hunky Dory is David Bowie’s best record. It’s best because it was my first, very innocent exposure to folky Dave transitioning into the rock’n’roll messiah.

DavidAnother great $1 find. Fat Freddy’s guitarist Tehimana Kerr goes solo on this merge of ambient, electronica and funk. Beautifully produced as you would expect, it’s an interesting and unexpected sonic journey.

DavidIt’s $32 Tuesday. Time to rip open another CD from The Red Cross Collection. I started out with Dum Dum Girls 2011 album, “Only In Dreams”, but gave up after a few tracks.
