Tiny Ruins - Ceremony (2023)

I just love it when you can hear the strings rattle on the frets and actually feel the reach of the singer’s breath.

Sublime - Sublime (1996)

I know absolutely nothing about Sublime. I always thought they were just another stoner, spliff-toting, skateboard pretenders. How wrong was I.

Mogwai - As The Love Continues (2022)

I’ve held back long enough. This is the moment to finally release the Glaswegian beast. This has been tucked away, unplayed, to allay my expectant disappointment.

Hole - Celebrity Skin (1998)

Hole’s second record, 1994’s “Live Through This” remains one of my top album contenders across any genre. While it’s peak grunge, it still has one of the highest, and surely not legal, quotas of hooks possible on a single record.

Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood - Nancy & Lee Again (1972)

This album is the 4th in the Nancy Sinatra Archival Series on “Light in the Attic” records. Beautifully packaged and remastered, they look and sound fantastic.

Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci - Barafundle (1997)

Along with The Super Furries, these fellow Welshmen, proudly celebrate their musical heritage as well as their language. Mixing things up equally in both English and Welsh, it works effortlessly.

Can - Live in Cuxhaven 1976 (2021)

This recording is as close to improvisational “free” jazz as I’m willing to ever venture. Can never just play their last record, they deconstruct, reconstruct or completely destroy it at every opportunity.

Everything But The Girl - Fuse (2023)

God it’s good to hear Tracey Thorn’s fabulous voice again. While she’s dabbled with several great solo records, this is her teaming up again with husband and chief knob fiddler, Ben Watt.

Car Seat Headrest - Teens Of Denial (2016)

Picture this scenario; “let’s have a look around this vehicle, pick the nearest object and use it to name our band”.

Cloudboy - Down at the end of the Garden (2001)

My second and only other RSD purchase was this little gem from Dunedin’s, now long-defunct, Cloudboy. While I didn’t know anything about this record, or the musicians involved, it was a record they were running out of around the country very quickly.
