Dimmer - I Believer You Are A Star (2001)

My 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!

Talk Talk - The Colour Of Spring [DVD-A] (1986)

One 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.

The Modern Lovers (1976)

I 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.

Led Zeppelin - Presence (1976)

With 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.

Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence (2014)

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

Blam Blam Blam - The Complete Blam Blam Blam (2003)

I 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.

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots [DVD-A] (2002)

Imogen, 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.

Elton John - Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player (1973)

It’s been a fucking ridiculous week! A quick trip to Hastings, a week ago today, where I sat with my father overnight and through part of the next day when he finally lost his battle with life.
