commentsThis pre-Covid, end-of-September 2019 event could really have done with a shake up. The world has changed since this, and in musical terms, decades earlier.
commentsGreat live recording of Jason Pierce’s early post Spacemen 3 collective. While it gets off to an unexpectedly noisy start with a barrage of crackles and pops all over the first track, (sometimes I really hate vinyl), but this is soon forgotten as it mainlines itself into my brain.
commentsDon’t you just hate it (for those that bow to the inconvenience of vinyl) when the label on side one is different to side two and there’s no discernable way of knowing which is side A or side B.
commentsThe themes were: Your watershed year - This is the year which you consider represents the biggest shift in your musical adventures and one that has had the most influence on why you like what you like., A recent discovery which you think reflects those earlier influences.
