The Cure - Pornography (1982)
The Cure at their bleakest. This record, the third record in a trilogy of misery, “17 Seconds” and “Faith” preceded this, makes a lot more sense in these days of utter dispair.

The National - I Am Easy To Find (2019)
This is not a typical The National record. In fact, if you like The National, you may not like this record.

Che Fu - Navigator (2001)
Another NZ recording artist I’ve admired since first hearing the wonderful “Chains” released nearly 2 decades ago. Brilliantly produced and sounding massive.

29/05 Black Mountain - Name / Josefin Öhrn + The Liberation (2019)
Having a 5 hour bus trip ahead of me to contend with works out to be the perfect opportunity to listen to a couple of new records courtesy of Tidal.

This Mortal Coil - Blood (1991)
What a completely bonkers show “ Now Apocalypse ” is. I’ve no hope of ever explaining what it’s about but just to say there’s some great incidental music happening throughout.

Steely Dan - Aja (1977)
Another record that’s most definitely vinyl-worthy sounds absolutely extraordinary oozing from my speakers this evening. Probably my favourite Dan, this album never stops being a revelation each time I listen to it.

Alice In Chains - Dirt (1992)
Good old fashioned dirge from the bowels of mid 90’s grunge. Layne Staley was always a favourite of mine with his courageous authenticity.

Neil & Liam Finn - Lightsleeper (2019)
I just couldn’t resist buying this big slab of reduced-price, double vinyl, completely unheard on one of my now rather rare excursions into the big red shed.
