DavidA very classy, post-break-up-with-hubby record produced by T Bone Burnett. There’s some real texture and reverby guitar added to proceedings that is in real contrast to her previous “clean” rockabilly recordings.

DavidA talent like this doesn’t come along very often - ahem, unless you come from the lower South Island. Nadia Reid, Aldous Hardling and Marlon Williams are part of the mother folking good South Island Kiwi’s pushing their esoteric but trending trendy, angst-ridden tunes around the globe.

DavidI swear, I will NEVER attend a live Mogwai event. I’m long past going to sonically damaging gigs where your ears fight for recovery for the next few days and your internalised speech sounds like an old transistor radio.

DavidI heard a great interview on Radio New Zealand this morning with songwriter, producer and documentary maker Mark Tierney. He was responsible for the wonderful Strawpeople.

DavidAnother souvenir from one of my bin diving adventures, this is a very interesting mix of musical genres. To actually determine what those genres are however, is a rather perplexing challenge.

DavidLove em or loath em, Genesis after Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett left, became even bigger stadium fillers and fully transformed into mega selling, production line pop superstars.

DavidIt’s Friday. It’s literally the weeks end. Time to give your brain the heave ho and leave all pretensions at the front door.

DavidIt’s well over 20 years since Tricky’s “Maxinquaye” stunned the music world and topped most “best of” album lists for 1995.
