11/07 The Stroppies - Swoosh (2019)
This really could be Dunedin circa 1982. Despite an Australian twang as wide as The Tasman Ocean there’s a definite The Bats/The Clean jingly/jangly groove emanating these Melbournians.

The Beths - Jump Rope Gazers (2020)
More vinyl I’ve never listened to. It’s great to just buy stuff like in the old days when you only have reference to music choices courtesy of NME, Melody Maker, Sounds and local music rags like Rip It Up.

Royal Blood - Royal Blood (2014)
It’s hard to believe that this duo from Old Blighty’s Briton can make such a god forsaken racket. Playing just drums and bass, they could cause all sorts of inferiority complexes for many a larger ensemble.

D'Angelo - Voodoo (2000)
The bottom end on this record is quite extraordinary. You do risk serious damage to your viscera and your speakers if you turn that knob too far.

Cranes - Forever (1994)
A voice like an angel and a band that plays like the devil incarnate! It’s a beautiful contrast - Elfin meets charging Mastodon.

The Phoenix Foundation - Buffalo (2010)
Friday night - it’s time to stay in and chill out not go out and chill down. This ain’t philosophical, it’s fact!

Various Artists - Occasional Rain (2020)
Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs Present England, the day after the 60’s. This is the follow up to 2017’s wonderful “English Weather” and another fantastic compilation of English obscurities.

The Bevis Frond - We're Your Friends, Man (2018)
I’d heard of The Bevis Frond but up until this evening I’d never “heard” The Bevis Frond. As I now have a tendency to do, I bought this on a spare-of-the-moment impulse at Smithies “Family Jewels” this evening.

Khruangbin - Con Todo El Mundo (2018)
You want to chill - this is the cat’s pajama’s of cool! It’s funny though it’s not music you need to engage with, it’s music just to savor and enjoy for what it is.
