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.

DavidA recent Record Store Day vinyl compilation of a long lost, Japanese only CD from the long defunct Pale Saints (from Leeds) Pale Saints were often on my playlist back in the 90’s and one of my 4AD staples.

DavidAnother absolute stunner from one of Afrobeat’s finest. This 50th Anniversary Reissue is “coolness” personified. Fela was best mates with Ginger Baker, who apparently, (this is uncredited on the album), helps out on the sublime “Egbe Mio”.
