Endless Boogie - Focus Level (2008)
Endless in name, endless in execution. With most songs lasting around the 8 to 10 minute mark it’s an epic non-stop jam session and an exercise in endurance.

John Mellencamp - Plain Spoken + Royal Blood's Debut (2014)
John Mellencamp - Plain Spoken (2014) I took a bit of a punt on this record. While not my usual cup of tea, I do recognise that I need to “grow up” a bit and find a softer, more lyrical side to my musical universe.

Black Sabbath - The Ultimate Collection (vinyl) (2016)
Had an absolute field day today at the Big Red Shed. (coincidentally, on the Sabbath day!!) Bought the big 8-sides-of-vinyl box set AND the new CD/DVD/Vinyl deluxe box set of their latest album “13” for sod all.

My Morning Jacket - Z (2005)
Aside from John Grant, try and find a more pure voice in rock than Jim James. As with John Grant’s band, the Czars, it’s really all about the front guy.

Arab Strap - The Week Never Starts Around Here (1996)
Brilliantly murky and minimal, this is the wonderfully named Scottish duo’s first record. The largely spoken vocals (with the broadest Scottish accent you’ve ever heard) and slightly out of sync and meandering instrumentation reminds me of Slint or The For Carnation.
