DavidThis record is both epic in title and epic in the magnitude of its musical journey. It all starts off with a bit of a whimper but quickly imposes itself as the dense wall of sound engulfs everything.

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

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

DavidI’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.

DavidHoly 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.

DavidThis 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.

DavidThis 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.

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

DavidThis 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.

DavidGreat 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.
