DavidThis is a great relic and snapshot of life in Thatcher’s England. “Inglan is a bitch, there’s no escaping it!” While it is politically and socially charged in places, (Mr Johnson could really getaway with singing about anything), the reggae/dub soundtrack in support of Linton’s wonderful prose is just fabulous!

DavidThis first (and unfortunately last) record by Silver Jews leader, David Berman, has made many a “best albums of 2019” list but to be honest, I never gave it a chance.

DavidI didn’t always “get” Jason Peirce’s Spiritualized or Spacemen 3 back in the 80’s and 90’s. It just seemed so last century!

DavidThe 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.

DavidI 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.

DavidThis 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.

DavidDon’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”?

DavidAnother 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.

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

DavidViv 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!
