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.

Various Artists - Pillows And Prayers (1982)
I’ve just spent the last week or so travelling up North between Wellington and Hawkes Bay. After giving up hope of finding any decent stand-alone records shops I found an amazing little treasure trove in Waipawa, Central Hawkes Bay.

Betty Davis - They Say I'm Different (1973)
This is one of those records that would have really frightened the normals. Especially considering it was the early 70’s. It’s sleazy and confronting.

Radiohead - Kid A Mnesia (2022)
Holy Moley where do you start with this?! While hailed as one of the most important rock recordings of all time when they delivered their revered “OK Computer”, Radiohead went even more left field with these evil twins.
