Porridge Radio - Every Bad (2020)

Another great Easter Weekend purchase while over in the windy city. This is Porridge Radio’s second record and their first “proper” big label release.

tUnE-yArDs - Sketchy (2021)

One of several vinyl purchases picked up over Easter Weekend in Wellington was this little gem from New York duo Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner.

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.

Moon Duo - Escape (Expanded Edition)(2010)

Holy 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.

Voom - Hello, Are You There? (2006)

This 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.

Black Country, New Road - For The First Time (2021)

This 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.

Tool - Opiate (1992)

Maynard James Keenan hit the ground running with his band Tool. This and subsequent records completely shocked the world of metal, grunge and alternative rock.

Various Artists - Crossroads [Blu-Ray] (2019)

This 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.

Spiritualized - Fucked Up Inside (1993)

Great 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.

Jane Weaver - Flock (2021)

Don’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.
