David Bowie - Toy Box (2021)

As 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”.

Avantdale Bowling Club - Trees (On vinyl) (2022)

A 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.

David Bowie - Hunky Dory (2015 Mix Blu-Ray Audio) (1971)

Ok, 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.

Tehimana Kerr - Defamation Of Character (2008)

Another 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.

Band Marino - The Sea & The Beast (2006)

It’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.

Mark Lanegan - Whiskey For The Holy Ghost (1994)

You can feel the smoke and whiskey blend hit your face as the big gravelly voice of Mark Lanegan oozes out of the speakers.

Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange - Sci-Fi Jazz Directions (2022)

OK, I wasn’t expecting this. Purchased mainly for it’s slightly unhinged cover, and because it was going cheap, I was a bit worried that this would be some weird, inaccessible, electronic squawlk fest.

Mad Monster Party Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1967)

Black Friday sales bring out the worst in me. I took advantage of sales at JB Hi-fi and Flying Out and bought a few CD box sets I’ve had my eye on.

Violens - Amoral (2010)

Another $1 CD tonight. I wasn’t completely anamoured with this New York collective at first but I’m really glad I perservered.
