DavidThis record just shouldn’t work. News Flash: Low, the protagonists of slowcore, embrace abrasive percussive elements and discordant organ textures. What it does uphold though, is the wonderful solo and harmonised voices of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker.

DavidSunday afternoon is not a time to get the heavies out. Something soft and bouncy is called for. Hot Chip is a London band reportedly on the fringes of dance music and whatever the fuck “alternative” music is?

DavidMy top NZ Desert Island disc. Definitely my most played NZ record of all time and finally purchased on vinyl. It’s big, it’s bold, it’s brilliant!

DavidOne of my all time favorites, this record just oozes class. Buying this on vinyl was a no-brainer. Getting a free copy of this astounding album on hi-res DVD-A along with the vinyl copy was the icing on top.

DavidI made the big mistake of popping in to see Smithies at “Family Jewels Records” at the Freehouse this afternoon. Hey, we were just going for a pint, chunky sandwich and some of Steve’s famous chips.

DavidWith Robert Plant confined to a wheel chair recuperating from a serious motor accident, and John Paul not tickling the ivories so much, it’s the Bonham and Page show.

DavidI’m surprised Lana Del Rey has never performed at the Roadhouse in Twin Peaks. She’s just made for such a venue.

DavidI remember exactly the moment I bought this from Everyman Records. It was in 2003 and it was such a surprise to see this 20 year old relic compiled onto one collection.

DavidImogen, my youngest daughter who’s staying with us for the weekend, randomly selected the letter “F” this evening. Without hesitation, I selected The Flaming Lips and this their post millennial masterpiece.
