Outkast - Speakerboxxx (2003)
I’m listening to part one of Big Boi and Andre 3000’s split-duties-opus “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below” this evening - and loving every minute of it.

commentsHoly fuck this is wonderfully intense. If you can’t handle relentless wall-to-wall jamming look elsewhere. If you’re in the mood for mind expansion and turning your brain to mush, you’ve come to the right place.
commentsThis re-release from 2006 is an astonishing hidden-from-me NZ gem that in my universe-wide musical horizon flew completely under my exceptionally big reflecting telescope.
commentsThis is another example of not being risk adverse when choosing new music. This is just brilliant and being brave has given me the biggest buzz in donks.
commentsMaynard James Keenan hit the ground running with his band Tool. This and subsequent records completely shocked the world of metal, grunge and alternative rock.
commentsThis pre-Covid, end-of-September 2019 event could really have done with a shake up. The world has changed since this, and in musical terms, decades earlier.
commentsGreat live recording of Jason Pierce’s early post Spacemen 3 collective. While it gets off to an unexpectedly noisy start with a barrage of crackles and pops all over the first track, (sometimes I really hate vinyl), but this is soon forgotten as it mainlines itself into my brain.
commentsDon’t you just hate it (for those that bow to the inconvenience of vinyl) when the label on side one is different to side two and there’s no discernable way of knowing which is side A or side B.
commentsThe themes were: Your watershed year - This is the year which you consider represents the biggest shift in your musical adventures and one that has had the most influence on why you like what you like., A recent discovery which you think reflects those earlier influences.
commentsAnother fabulous compilation from Soul Jazz Records. (Along with ACE records, Soul Jazz does the best compilations). This collection of largely unknown knob twiddlers and music anarchists truly reflect the vide that existed in the late 70’s and early 80’s.
