Steven Wilson - Home Invasion [Blu-ray](2018)

In 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.

Mr David Bowie - Ziggy (SACD)(1972)

If 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.

Supertramp - Crime Of The Century [only on vinyl] (1975)

You 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.

Angel Olsen - Burn Your Fire For No Witness (2014)

I 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.

Orange Juice - Rip It Up (1982)

Orange 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.

Low - Christmas (1999)

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

David Bowie - Hunky Dory (1972)

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

Joan As Police Woman - The Deep Field (2011)

I’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.

Gary Numan - Savage: Songs From A Broken World (2017)

Here 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.

ShelleyDevoto - Buzzkunst (2002)

Today we lost another musical legend in Pete Shelley . While The Buzzcocks weren’t directly on my own personal radar his influence on British and American music is without question.
