My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (1991)

This is even more brittle and unearthly than last night’s delve into the (other)world of My Bloody Valentine. There really isn’t any other music to compare it to.

My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything (1988)

As well as this record being unlike anything before or after it, it’s one of the quietest “loud” records you will ever hear.

Les Baxters - Les Baxters (2021)

This is the soundtrack to a horror film that doesn’t exist. Thank God it doesn’t - it would be the scariest thing you ever saw.

Blonde Redhead - Melody Of Certain Damaged Lemons (2000)

I was really pleased recently to find a re-pressed, USA made copy of this early Blonde Redhead record. This is definitely a band worthy of owning everything they did on vinyl.

Gary Human - Tubeway Army Replicas (1979)

Gazza has always been an outlier/outsider. Diagnosed with Asperger’s his imagination and creativity has actually got the better of him. He’s been more prolific than ever and his latest record “Intruder” is up there’s with his best.

Royal Blood - Typhoons (2021)

Gave this a whirl this evening as I cooked. A bit indifferent for the first couple of tracks but then it all clicked.

The Zombies - Odyssey And Oracle (1968)

Highly regarded as one of the treasures of the psychedelic 60s this is not really doing it for me at the moment.

Various Artists - AK79 (1980)

This fantastic compilation of Auckland punk, circa 1979(ish), is a treat for NZ music historians and rock’n’roll lovers. There’s early iterations of bands that went on to greater fame, and much higher production standards, but their brilliance is well in evidence.

Various Artists - Why Can't I Be You? (2021)

Mojo Presents A Tribute To The Cure. There’s no doubt about it, the Cure wrote a ton of brilliant songs, this Mojo Magazine compilation proves it.
