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”).

DavidAn absolute stonker of a record this evening. This is truly a forgotten gem from the very short-lived Seattle supergroup made up of members of Alice In Chains (Layne Staley), Screaming Trees (Barrett Martin), Pearl Jam (Mike McCready - who I tolerate big time on this record) and some dude called John Baker Saunders.

DavidIn Concert At The Royal Albert Hall 2018 was an epic year for me in many ways. Add a live Steven Wilson gig in Auckland into the mix and it’s an icing-on-the-cake moment.

DavidIf you don’t get goose bumps during Ronson’s “Moonage Daydream” solo you are fucking deaf and probably musically bereft. The end of “Soul Love” as it counts down into the first note of that song is also as perfect a moment on any record that I can think of.

DavidYou may be thinking “it’s 2019 and this Geezer is still play fucking Supertramp”. While not everyone’s cup-of-very-British-tea, this particular record is a significant bit of ear candy for me.
