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”

The Flaming Lips - Embryonic (2009)
The Lips have always been very generous with their non-standard CD releases - if you can find them. Most of their seminal records, including “The Soft Bulletin” “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots” and “At War With The Mystics”, are also available with bonus 5.

The Flaming Lips - Embryonic (2009)
“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!” There’s no getting away from it, a great song will always be a great song.

Beach House - Teen Dream (2010)
It’s 6 days since I’ve actually sat down and listened to a full record. Family do take precedence, especially when there’s tiny tots involved, but it is a sacrifice you make never the less.

Nathan Haines - Shift Left (1994)
Another great haul today. I’ve been eyeing up the vinyl bins at TWH lately ready to pounce. I bought a swag the other day but this Kiwi classic, a 25 Year Anniversary remaster, was still retailing for $49.

Various Artists - Music From Jarvis Cocker's Sunday Service (2019)
Talk about eclectic! This is just about the epitome of it. Jarvis Cocker the un-coolest/cool person on the planet, does a snapshot of seven years of his Sunday afternoon radio show.
