DavidI 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.

DavidPoliça 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).

DavidSoul 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.

DavidThis 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.

DavidThis is another impeccable and VERY English compilation from Mr. Bob Stanley and ACE Records. Originally released some 15 years ago, this is an updated version and covers English potty post-pyschedelic music from the late 60’s to mid 70’s.

DavidI didn’t quite get this record on first listen but subsequently it’s now a thing of great beauty. This is despite sounding like it’s been taped directly off a transitor radio.

DavidThis morning I discovered a wonderful new podcast for the proper music nerd. It’s called “ The Album Years ” and is presented by one of my familiars - Steven Wilson and his close buddy Tim Bowness.
