ESG - Come Away With (1983)
Stonkingly brilliant, early-80s, post-punk funk (without the horns) courtesy of the Scroggin Sisters from the Bronx, NY, NY. This is just crazy good.

HTRK - Venus In Leo (2019)
One of my finds of the year, I knew absolutely nothing about HTRK (Hate Rock) or this record, prior to my recent travels to Melbourne.

The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street (1972)
RIP Charles Robert Watts An easy choice today. I bought this quite a few years ago when I started collecting “essential” vinyl once again.

Protomartyr - The Agent Intellect (2015)
This band is from Detroit. These men are not happy. Front man Joe Casey, led by an incendiary band, sings/talks his way through 12 astounding tracks.

Black Mountain - IV (2016)
Another terrific record, their forth, in a faultless catalogue of neo-70’s rock/prog. While they certainly know how to jam, they never overstay their welcome.

The Phoenix Foundation - Give Up Your Dreams (2015)
In recognition of brilliant Kiwi musicians I’m celebrating with some Wellington heavy weights today. Let’s face it - we need to go to all of those touring NZ artists touring at the moment - for their and for our own sakes.

Radio Moscow - Brain Cycles (2009)
These hairy MFs from Ames, Iowa really know how to kick the barn doors down! While it hints at stoner rock at times, it’s more in the flavour of the heavy side of 70’s electric blues.

Spiritualized - Lazer Guided Melodies (1992)
Amazing, other/outer worldly and essential. Now this really IS a wall of sound. While it can be smothering - it’s a hazy, cuddly experience that wraps you up in a big, psyschedlic blanket.

Fela Kuti - Sorrow Tears & Blood (1977)
A bit of a “High Fidelity” moment last Friday evening as I strolled into The Family Jewels. Side two of this was playing on the shop and outside tannoys.

Troy Kingi - Black Sea Golden Ladder (2021)
Tickets booked, I’d better have a listen. This is Troy Kingi’s “folk” record with Delaney Davidson, the proper folkie, lending a steady hand.
