Ragnarok - Ragnarok (1975)
I may or may not have seen Ragnarok at the Racecourse Hotel, Hastings as a highschool lad back in the day.

Garageland - Last Exit To Garageland (1997)
To these ears this is one of the best records that Pavement didn’t make. While you could say that the Flying Nun label mates of this Auckland-based outfit taught the Paves a thing or two, this group are just as effective at playing sloppy, effortless and slightly off kilter pop music like the big boys of the era.

The Gluts - Dengue Fever Hypnotic Trip (2019)
I took a bit of a gamble with my record buying this evening. It’s becoming a bit of a habit lately, buying stuff I know nothing about.

Black Mountain - Destroyer (2019)
When these Canadian Space Rock Psych Warriors put any record out, you know it’s always a wall to wall riff fest.

Bonzo Dog Band - Tadpoles (1969)
A nice little, albeit dated, excursion tonight listening to some late 60’s English Loonies. I spotted this 1986, nearly mint pressing, at a second hand record shop in Napier.

Nancy Sinatra - Start Walkin' 1965-1976 (2021)
This recent compilation kicks off with a shimmering guitar, hefty with reverb, bereft of much else in the way of accompaniment and Ms.

Motels - Motels (1979)
This record was on high rotation during the late 70’s, early 80’s as punk gave way to the much richer and diverse palate of post-punk/new wave.

Talk Talk - The Party's Over (1982)
I first encountered the great Mark Hollis and Talk Talk via their third release 1986’s “The Colour Of Spring”. I kind of ignored the previous two records including this one, their 1982 debut.

Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There (2022)
I’m a bit disappointed with this new “special edition” release. The music is brilliant, the packaging and blue splatter vinyl exceptional.

Cibo Matto - Viva La Woman (1996)
I didn’t hesitate one second in picking up this fabulous food-fixated first-in-class classic record at Palmerston North’s JB-Hifi during my recent travels.
