DavidI’ve waited what seems like an eternity to play this. I’ve just returned from a week away and within the first hour of being home I feel a real anticipation that turns into necessity, to get on with playing Bowie’s second record.

DavidI’m breaking out the Bowie box sets this February. It’s wall-to-wall studio Bowie records only this month - starting with this, his first “proper” album through to 1980’s “Scary Monsters”.

DavidOk I admit it, I dabbled with New Age music! Luckily it was a fleeting indiscretion that only came about from exposure to a couple of Windham Hill samplers.

DavidPurchased the day of re-release from HMV in London during 2016, this remastered/re-jigged vinyl compilation of early live Zeppelin recordings just keeps on giving.

DavidThis record, just released a matter of days ago, has really caught my fancy. After hearing her interviewed and each track reviewed on a recent “All Songs Considered” podcast, it was top of my list to give a proper listen.

DavidA placebo is a substance that has no therapeutic effect or a measure designed merely to humour or placate someone. Placebo, the band, are more often than not treated similarly by the music press.

DavidAne of my favourite musical adventures was seeing Pavement in the flesh at The Caledonian Hall, in Christchurch on Wednesday 13th July 1994.

DavidIf you haven’t listened to this band, I urge you to drop everything and do so right now! Start with this fantastic record, circa 1972, then work your way up from 1969’s “Monster Movie” through to 1973’s “Future Days”.

DavidOk, more “Dad” rock this evening but there’s a good story behind this one that involves The Big Red Shed. While browsing the vinyl bins recently I came across this beast of a box set newly remastered on 4 big slabs of vinyl.

DavidA classic dance/drum’n’bass/rock/metal cross-over record that absolutely slam dunks all of the big beats, electronic riffage and squelchy brilliance. We lost a past “Shut Up And Listen” member because of this band (notably “Smack Your Bitch Up”).
