Various Artists - The Daisy Age (2019)

Yet another ace ACE Records compilation lovingly curated by Bob Stanley. I continue to hoover these up like nose candy. This is happy clappy, hippy dippy, hip hop.

Lizzy Mercier Descloux - Press Color (1979)

Another fabulous example of late 70s New York No Wave that’s further perpetrated by French invader Lizzy Mercier Descloux. Take some of Serge Gainsbourg’s Afrobeat, combine with Blondie’s disco-inflected punk and Talking Heads’ world music-inspired art pop and you get the drift.

Various Artists - 80's 12" (2019)

Complete and utter 12" remix trash heaven this evening. I picked up this triple LP, 2019 compilation out of one of the bargain bins at JB-Hifi for $10.

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures ( 1979)

I was completely absorbed and inspired to play this following a recent bus commute from Richmond to Nelson. (if I’m honest, the bleakness of this record is warmly welcomed after another day working in that dreadful town they call Richmond!

Throwing Muses - Sun Racket (2020)

I just couldn’t resist picking this beauty out of the forever expanding bins of prestige new records at JB-Hifi (at The Hutt) and adding it to my ever increasing haul of vinyl-worthy, North Island souvenirs.

Nick Mason - Saucerful Of Secrets [Blu-ray](2020)

I did NOT expect this! A few of those try-hard Psych bands could learn a trick or two from these dudes.

The Sound - Heads And Hearts (1985)

Not only an underrated band, THE MOST underrated band of all time! I’ve gone on about the poor hand “The Sound” were dealt on several occasions.

The Virgin Suicides - Original Soundtrack (2000)

I’m loving listening to compilations and movie soundtracks at the moment. A good soundtrack is often as memorable as the film itself and usually provides an eclectic mix of styles and artists.

The Steve Miller Band - Sailor (1968)

I found this at The Warehouse in Whanganui on shiny new bright blue vinyl. This is a recent re-pressing/remaster (2018) and cost me $20.

Kruder and Dorfmeister - The K&D Sessions (1998)

This hefty 5 LP box was one of the finds of my recent trip up North. Id been looking for this on CD for years without much luck so jumped at the chance of owning this on premium Polyvinyl Chloride.
