Wooden Shjips - Back To Land (2013)

The only problem with this record is that each of the 8 tracks, with an average length of just over 5 minutes, just aren’t long enough.

Son Lux - Brighter Wounds (2018)

I hate always playing it safe with music and this certainly takes me well out of my comfort zone. And this record which I’m listening to for the first time since picking it out of a bargain bin, does so in such a welcome and refreshing way.

Morphine - Cure For Pain (1993)

This Boston three piece make quite the racket, albeit a beautiful one - and it’s all done on a two string slide bass, saxophone and drums.

The Eagles - Hotel California [DVD-A] (1976)

Don’t you dear judge me for listening to this! I grew hair on my bollocks listening to this record. Who doesn’t love Joe Walsh’s slide guitar on “Victim Of Love”?

Moon Duo - Occult Architecture Vol.2 (2017)

Another sonic gem from Portland’s Ripley Johnson (Wooden Shjips) and Sanae Yamada. Some very tasty and oh-so-spacey guitar playing over hooky keyboards and some great drum work from John Jeffrey, elevate this to a thing of mesmeric beauty.

Emerson - If You Need Me, Call (2019)

There’s not a lot of information out there about one Emerson Sandidge. He was born into a musical family in Gary, Indiana.

Viv Albertine - Flesh EP (2010)

Viv Albertine (once guitarist with The Slits) is my new hero. I’ve just finished reading her brilliant autobiography. (This should be compulsory reading for every man on the planet!

Public Service Broadcasting (2017)

It’s wet and cold outside this afternoon as this tribute to Welsh miners spins on my turntable. In contrast to the bleakness of the elements, it’s warm and cosy inside as the fire pushes out some serious heat.

Various Artists - Kaleidoscope (2020)

Along with ACE Records , Soul Jazz Records out of Soho in London is my favorite record label for delivering stunning “new” music.

The B-52's (1979)

This relic from the very late 70’s is as infectious as Covid-19! At just under 40 minutes, there’s not one wasted note.
