Depeche Mode - Music For The Masses (1987)

I’m just loving rediscovering my big wall of sound. This big multi-level shelf of plastic and card-board cases hold the majority of my CDs, SACDs and DVD-Audio/Blu-ray discs.

Nancy Sinatra And Lee Hazlewood - Nancy & Lee (1968)

I really hummed and ha’d about “needing” to have this on vinyl. After all, I’ve already invested in the magnificent Nancy Sinatra 2 LP compilation “Start Walking” which spans the years 1965 to 1976.

John Foxx - Metadelic (2013)

While there were a few fleeting moments sans John Foxx, with Ultravox version 2.0, which followed on after his departure, the original Ultravox was more of a real deal.

Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One (1997)

This record encompasses everything I like but is also unlike anything else I like. Does that make any sense? I really doesn’t need to.

Cornelius - Point (2002)

If you can find a better sounding CD than this, I’ll eat my entire vinyl collection. I can’t even contemplate why you would ever listen to this on anything other than a CD or via decent streaming media.

Israel Nash - Israel Nash's Rain Pains (2014)

The New Zealand-based “A Sonic Youth” podcast just keeps on dishing up truly splendid, under-the-radar, what-the-fuck-is-alternative-music-anyway, musical richness. That’s four absolutely killer references in four episodes.

Dinosaur Jr. - I Bet On Sky (2012)

This is guitar heaven for alt-rock/dirgey guitar slinger freaks. J. Mascis, as on this album, remains a true shred maestro with his trusty ‘63 Fender Jazzmaster amped up to the hilt.

Men I Trust - Untourable (2021)

Who wants to listen to music when the sky is literally falling and the murky, dank flood waters are lapping at your doorstep?

Nadar Surf - High/Low (1996)

I heard a great song, “Popular” by this New York-based band on a recent podcast. I really needed to check them out a bit more.

Low - The Great Destroyer (2005)

Another faultless record from these Duluth-based, slow-core pioneering Mormons. (Incidentally, Duluth was also the birth place of one Robert Zimmerman). Recently picked up by Sub Pop records this is a major leap forward in instrumental layering and accessibility.
