DavidGod it’s good to hear Tracey Thorn’s fabulous voice again. While she’s dabbled with several great solo records, this is her teaming up again with husband and chief knob fiddler, Ben Watt.

DavidPicture this scenario; “let’s have a look around this vehicle, pick the nearest object and use it to name our band”.

DavidMy second and only other RSD purchase was this little gem from Dunedin’s, now long-defunct, Cloudboy. While I didn’t know anything about this record, or the musicians involved, it was a record they were running out of around the country very quickly.

DavidSoundtrack from the Guillaume Podrovnik Documentary. It’s Record Store Day (RSD). Translation = an overhypered, completely contrived day to celebrate the market-induced scarcity and fleecing of fully suspecting vinyl buying punters.

DavidA lovely first listen to Australian singer, Jen Cloher this evening. This beautiful recording took me completely by surprise. Folky, gritty, poppy, and at time crunchy rock.

DavidWow! This is one of the most stunning sounding records I’ve heard in a long time. Not just production-wise, it’s a musical masterpeice.

DavidComing up to it’s second decade, this incendiary debut album from London-based Quartet, Bloc Party, is refreshingly “rock”. No fancy keyboards or unnessecary embellishments, this is just a slam of guitars, bass and drums and some vitriolic vocals from Kele Okereke.

DavidBy my count, this is record number 20 (since 2012) for this Melbourne sextet. The truly amazing thing is, and I take the reviewers’ word for it, they all sound different.

DavidWhile not prolific, averaging 3 to 4 years between records, Mark Linkous is consistent in his greatness. There’s never a note wasted on all of his records.
