Lambchop - Awcomon (2004)

Put on as background music this afternoon while tidying the cave, I was also trying to convince myself that when compared with vinyl, CDs sound like shit.

Various Artists - Kiwi Animals: Future Primitive Aoteoroa 82-91 (2020)

I was prepared to get very uncomfortable with this brand new compilation of “forgotten New Zealand electronic and avante music of the 1980s” released in late May this year.

Cranes - Forever (1993)

One of the finds of my recent trip to Wellington was this amazing record. Very tastefully remastered, individually numbered and pressed on gold and black vinyl, it is physically, visually and sonically a thing of great beauty.

Kristin Hersh - Crooked (2010)

I could listen to Kristin Hersh play the bongos while reciting “The Lord’s Prayer”. It would still be mesmerising. To me, she has one of the best and most distinctive voices of all the rock ‘n’ roll women.

Poliça - When We Stay Alive (2020)

Poliça are a really difficult band* to try and explain or categorise. (* Poliça is really just singer/songwriter Channy Leaneagh and producer Ryan Olson from the larger and just as uncategorisable collective Gayngs).

Booker T. & The M.G.s - Green Onions (1962)

To test my new computer/USB DAC/amplifier rig, I decided to play a high resolution computer audio file this evening. (A 24 bit/192kbps FLAC file to be precise).

Various Artists - New York Noise (2003)

Soul Jazz Records New York Noise: Dance Music from the New York Underground 1977-1982 On several trips to London, I’d always make a point of visiting Sounds of the Universe at 7 Broadwick Street in Soho.

Various Artists - Lie To Me (1989)

This year, as Jessie from the “Fast Show” would say, I have been mainly eating compilations. In a most cases this makes for more enjoyable and “active” listening sessions as opposed to just recycling old CDs or “safe” vinyl.

Gregg Allman - Laid Back (1973)

I think my life is now complete! I now have this absolute peach of a record on beautifully remastered and totally rejuvenated pitch black vinyl.
