commentsHere comes the Martian Martian! Even for Jonathan Richman, this record is totally unexpected, extraordinary and otherworldly. And that is saying a lot about a Jonathan Richman record.
commentsThis is a great example of some of the most challenging, original and richly rewarding music being made in 2020. It’s been a feeble, and in many cases, a febrile year for most people.
comments“The Modern Lovers”, from 1976 is in my top 10 records of all time. (The Modern Lovers was also the name of the band fronted by the Jonathan Richman.
commentsAt home feeling a bit under the weather today. Not really in the mood for anything too abrasive so reached for some neo psychedelic alt folk music.
commentsFrom 1969’s “Empty Sky” to “1976’s “Blue Moves” (his last great record which I’ve only just began to appreciate), Elton John and Bernie Taupin produced 11 remarkable studio albums.
commentsAs previously explained , this was the compilation that was playing the track “Danger” by Pylon as a spooky coincidence when I walked into The Family Jewels on Saturday.
commentsThis pre-loved record has obviously been played to death and there’s a few pops and crackles in evidence. However, it wasn’t until I saw the debris on my stylus that I realised that I needed to do some immediate needle maintenance.
commentsThis new record by The Bats is like a big warm sneaky hug. As each song meanders along on it’s lackadaisical way, it’s easy to think “what’s happening here?
comments“Acid Folk, Folk Rock, Freak Folk, Whatever”. This anniversary edition (currently streaming via Tidal) is another revelatory experience from yester year.
