DavidSuper-G’s very last record continues with the high-calibre, riff-heavy pop-rock they are renowned for. Over their six studio albums they have made consistently great and seemingly effortless records that without failure, completely kick arse.

DavidI’ve been really enjoying mix tapes and compilations over the last few years. The best collections tend to expose one to other artists, genres and sometimes entire worm holes for further investigation.

DavidJust above the bar code on the back of this new slab of vinyl by Lyttelton’s Nadia Reid it proudly proclaims “Made in New Zealand” in a nice bold font.

DavidI took a big punt on this one during my weekly Warehouse bin trawl. Dropping from $49 to $29 and a couple of well known tracks, including the anthemic “Renagade Fighter”, convinced me to part with my cash.

DavidLovely late-80’s album from Tokoroa-Born Australian citizen, Jennifer Patricia Morris. While it’s got a definite 80’s production vibe, all of songs stand up really well.

DavidHaving spent the last month totally immersed in everything Stereolab, I was hoping that this newly re-formed groop, down in this neck of the woods, would at least meet expectations.

DavidYou know what, I’m getting sick of the same old same old. Three albums in and on the fantastic “Currents” Kevin Parker was getting flogged by the sky’s falling brigade for adding squelchy keyboards and turning his back on his guitar fuelled hazy psych.

DavidJust a couple of albums to go on my Anglo-French band adventures over the last month. They play live on Tuesday night next week!

DavidIf you think my time listening to Stereolab is fully exhausted, then think again. This compilation from 1998 is a real cracker.

DavidThere’s more tambourine playing by Laetitia Sadier than actual singing on this record. Apparently she was sick and didn’t get much studio time so the band just played on.
