Radiohead - In Rainbows (2007)

Absolute awesomeness from the worlds best band from Oxford. Recently purchased on vinyl to add to my “must-have-on-vinyl” list. There’s a few “must-haves” from the R-Heads.

Hurts - Exile (2013)

One of my less-than-$2-purchases, this completely bombastic, thickly layered, schizo-genre jumper is nevertheless an intriguing and baffling listening experience. There’s nothing here resembling a real instrument but the beats and hooks are infectious.

The Smiths - Hat Full Of Hollow (1984)

This early compilation of non-album, alternate takes and BBC sessions is The Smiths at their rawest. Love him or loath him, I can’t imagine someone other than Morrisey singing these songs.

Che-Fu - 2 B.S. Pacific [digital] (1998)

“Chains” is right up there on top of my favourite Kiwi songs list. Thankfully, this debut record by Post-Supergroove funk-rocker turned Hip-Hop Maestro Che-Fu is of equal quality throughout.

The Beatles - Abbey Road (1969)

It’s 50 years since The Beatles walked across that pedestrian crossing opposite Abbey Road Studios. While not quite displacing “Help” as the most significant Beatles record for me, it’s comes pretty close.

Various Artists - Stroke: Songs For Chris Knox (2010)

One of my greatest experiences ever!, was witnessing Chris Knox going completely beserk at The New Levin in the late late 70’s.

Cloud Control - Zone (2017)

I’ve just about finished with my Aussie haul and I may just have picked the best for last. Meandering along without much effort by the time it gets midway, I’m absolutely hooked.

Thom Yorke - Anima [digital] (2019)

Just when I thought it was safe to abandon a proper stereo system for a look, no-hands, wireless streaming service-centric solution, I get sucked right back in!

Jack River - Sugar Mountain (2018)

Another cracking good record from our neighbours across the ditch. I didn’t know what to expect when I first put this on.
