Placebo - Placebo (1996)

A placebo is a substance that has no therapeutic effect or a measure designed merely to humour or placate someone. Placebo, the band, are more often than not treated similarly by the music press.

Ane of my favourite musical adventures was seeing Pavement in the flesh at The Caledonian Hall, in Christchurch on Wednesday 13th July 1994.

Can - Ege Bamyasi (1972)

If you haven’t listened to this band, I urge you to drop everything and do so right now! Start with this fantastic record, circa 1972, then work your way up from 1969’s “Monster Movie” through to 1973’s “Future Days”.

Pink Floyd - Pulse [Vinyl Box] (1995)

Ok, more “Dad” rock this evening but there’s a good story behind this one that involves The Big Red Shed. While browsing the vinyl bins recently I came across this beast of a box set newly remastered on 4 big slabs of vinyl.

Prodigy - Music For The Jilted Generation (1994)

A classic dance/drum’n’bass/rock/metal cross-over record that absolutely slam dunks all of the big beats, electronic riffage and squelchy brilliance. We lost a past “Shut Up And Listen” member because of this band (notably “Smack Your Bitch Up”).
