Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (1975)

Syd gets his obligatory annual outing. I never tire of this. Ok, it’s “Dad Rock” but if you can’t appreciate this as a stone cold classic, you are musically brain dead.

M83 - Before The Dawn Heals Us (2005)

I didn’t see this coming at all. On first encounter this was totally unexpected. For some reason I had previously assumed M83 was some lo-fi, punky angst band from France and had always thought their acclaimed album “Dead Cities, Red Seas…” was some sort of Green Day/angry band revamp.

Emile Haynie - We Fall (2015)

I spilt my coffee all over my desk at work and into my back pack this black Friday morning. Coincidence, not really - shit happens sometimes and I was a fuck wit for being so careless.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Mosquito (2013)

Another trawl through the bins at Richmond’s big red shed has again delivered a great return on investment for my time, patience and perseverance.

Au.Ra - Jane's Lament (2015)

Mesmeric debut from Sydney duo Au.Ra. I’m not prepared to put a label on it but it’s up there with a couple of other favourite and recent Aussie releases.

The Charlatans - Modern Nature (2015)

“Remember where you were yesterday” is a sentiment conveyed in the liner notes on this record dedicated to founding member and drummer Jon Brookes, who died of a terminal illness just prior to its recording.

Ted Nugent - Motor City Mayhem (The 6000th Concert) [On Blu-Ray] (2008)

Well Wang Dang Sweet Poontang! You may wonder why on earth would I be watching this red neck, right wing, NRA high priest, racoon tailed, misogynist geriatric play to an audience of mostly chubby fellow white trash devotees.

Gruff Rhys - Babelsberg [Tidal] (2018)

Absolutely brilliant solo album lovingly crafted by the Super Furry Animals frontman. I listened to this yesterday on my journey back from Golden Bay.

Various Artists - Note Of Hope (2011)

Woody Guthrie purists are particularly disapproving of this release - it does show up in the reviews. Get over it people, Dylan went electric decades ago and it was about folkin’ time.

Danger Mouse And Sparklehorse - Dark Night Of The Soul (2010)

Some of my favourite vocalists appear on this final collaborative outing for Mark Linkous, who died just months before it’s release.
