DavidNothing prepares the listener for this. It’s Arthur Russell’s only non-collaborative record consisting of cello, voice (somewhere between Boz Scaggs and Nick Drake) and in-studio or live, sounds and textures.

DavidThis is an absolutely fabulous compilation of Japanese rock, electronic and fringe dwelling music from the 1980s. Impossible to find the conventional way, (but I’ll keep looking), this is courtesy of a subscribed lossless website.

DavidAnother record I’ve been holding off listening to. The moment needed to be just right. Saturday afternoon and I’m not feeling so sharp, so on the turntable this wee gem goes.

DavidMy Aussie mate Maurice bought this CD for me during our 2021 by-the-seat-of-our-pants visit to Melbourne. It’s my first listen to this Sydney-based band and I must say its a rather pleasurable experience.

DavidThis is was one of my holy grail records to find on vinyl. Jason from “My Music Taupo”, who by the way has one of the best record shops in all of Aotearoa, found it for me.

DavidThis is a brilliantly mixed up, but carefully contrived mess, that just sounds sensational in all of it’s vinyl glory. It’s the sort of record that also holds you to account.

DavidA beautiful, unconventional rockabilly blues record from now departed Suicide co-founder/co-member, Alan Vega. This could quite easily be an old time blues record backed by any number of 70’s era Krautrock bands.

DavidI heard “Starman” and “Suffragette City” on the car radio this morning. The realisation soon hit me - Ziggy is 50 years old!

DavidThe themes were: Hot – whatever interpretation you wish, Video round – everyone gets to share some good visual stuff, Cool – whatever interpretation you wish on this one too

DavidI’ve been waiting a long time to find this record. This is the first (proper) record by Tuscon, Arizona duo Trees Speak.
