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.

DavidI had absolutely no idea what I was going to play on this, the final day of 2018. I tried to be objective and choose something that’s on my “best of” list.

DavidOrange Juice was never one of my favourites but like any good beverage, it can be an acquired taste. Sipped slowly and mixed with other flavours.

DavidThe relevance of this album is obvious. It’s a simple little record of Low doing Christmas stuff. Essential themed Slowcore.

DavidI was helping to deliver my boy and his groomsmen to his wedding venue on Sunday, when Peter (my son) turned on the car stereo.

DavidI’m in a very specific mood this afternoon as tensions build towards Sunday’s big event (my lad’s wedding day). I tried to listen to one of my bargain bin haul items (Jaco Pastorious - Jaco OST) but that was no where near up to scratch and lasted a couple of tracks.

DavidHere it is…and STILL my favourite record of the last 2 years. I bought the vinyl while in Auckland recently. As it stands, it’s close to being my most vinyl-worthy record in my entire collection.
