Prefab Sprout - Jordon: The Comeback (1990)
This is in my top 10 records. This is not one of those records that was a right of passage or a sign post or fork in the road on my musical journey.

Echo Ohs - Wild Weeks (EP) (2019)
I heard “New Music with Grant Smithies” for 11th Oct 2019 via podcast this morning. One group particularly stood out for me.

David Bowie - Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) (1980)
I lugged my big Bowie box #3 down stairs into the lounge this afternoon and played what is probably Bowie’s last great album recorded at the arse end of the 80’s.

Stevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble - Texas Flood (1983)
SRV’s first and best record. Boosted by a guest slot on Bowie’s “Lets Dance” and a free recording ticket courtesy of Jackson Browne, this debut just oozes raw talent and authentic blues.

The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour (1982)
A glorious racket! They say there were several bands, including Pavement, that ripped off the Fall sound. That’s complete bollocks! Absolutely no one, now and then, sounds like The Fall.

Beach House - Bloom (2012)
There’s a lot of syrupy dream pop pouring out of my speakers this morning as I ease into the day with this treasure.

George Benson - Breezin' (1976)
Certainly “of it’s time” this jazz-lite record still treats the ears. I’m sure I didn’t pay the $6.99 of the sticker price still attached to the disc but got it along with about 15 other DVD-Audio discs on one of my afternoon raids to the Red Shed.

R.E.M - Automatic For The People (1992)
R.E.M has got a bad rap from our Shut Up and Listen group over recent years. I can’t recall anyone playing an R.

David's Session - Nov 19
The themes were: An iconic, revered track that challenges the mainstream., A stand-alone track or one that is representative of an album not appreciated at “the time” but redeemed by further scrutiny., Let the fireworks begin - it’s Guy Fawkes after-all.

Die Antwoord - Die Antwoord (2010)
Die Antwoord still goes down as one of my most gob smacking live music moments ever. Entering the big Boiler Room dance tent completely cold and expecting nothing, I encountered little pixie Yo Landi Vi$$er in full flight “ah ah ah, I am your butterfly - I need your protection”
