New York Dolls - New York Dolls (1973)

Universally loved or loathed, this debut record should have kick-started the demise of the dinosaurs. Unfortunately, no one was really listening.

T.Rex - Electric Warrior (1971)

It must be said, grand kids and audio equipment are not in any way compatible. Usually I have just my single black box, NAD C700 amp/streamer, Theophany speakers (woofers and tweeters - which are well protected by metal) and concealed sub, in the lounge.

GracieHorse - L.A. Shit (2023)

Sometimes country music can be right up on top of my “this-genre-ain’t-for-me” list, along with some god awful Jazz. While this is most definitely a country album, it doesn’t even come close to making that list.

Various Artists - English Weather (2017)

Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs Present English Weather. The autumnal sound of Britain at the turn of the 70’s, looking out through wet wind panes to a new decade with a mixture of melancholy and optimism to what might come next.

Kruder & Dorfmeister - 1995 (2020)

1998’s “The K&D Sessions” is a big 21 track, 2-hour plus, 6-LP behemoth of blissful bangers and downtempo/trip hop reworks of other artists material.

Fire! Orchestra - Echoes (2023)

Holy cow! This monster is quite something else. While I don’t dig the more chaotic avant guarde elements, there are some simply stunning arrangements and performances.

Richard's Session - May 23

The themes were: Any track appearing on a bona fide Studio album. No live recordings, compilations, best of’s etc etc., Another track pulled from the VERY SAME album that has provided track 1., A cover song.

Mako Road - The Great Superintendent {EP} (2018)

As Kiwi as Bro! This is a sensational six track EP release from Christchurch-based Mako Road. I first heard this on “A Sonic Youth” podcast (my firm favourite for better-than-decent new and re-discovered music) A band that has truly flown under the radar.

Bill Callahan - Dream River (2013)

Everything about Mr. Prolific here, and even more so since the demise of former band Smog, is the richness of his ever maturing voice, along with the power of his story telling.
