commentsI paid nearly $7 for this gem at The Warehouse. It’s just outrageous! My “five bucks” catch phrase is getting harder and harder to substantiate these days.
commentsSome times it’s not fair being a bottom-shelfer! Some of my favourite albums are not always in easy reach and may at times get completely overlooked.
commentsFuck it, I just needed something completely disposable tonight. A long day, a long drive and an absence of any musical intelligence.
commentsFaultless post-Hüsker Dü record from their legendary front man. Despite a brain melting wall of guitars, it’s the hook of great melody amidst all of that power that prevails over everything else.
commentsI can’t remember if I biked over or caught the bus to my destination of Napier 15 miles away, but I do remember being there for the Saturday afternoon screening of “The Song Remains The Same” in ‘76 or ‘77.
commentsI finally got to watch the fantastic XTC documentary “This Is Pop” today via some dodgy streaming service (ok, I was desperate!
commentsI’ve listened to Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, up to and including the excellent “Then Play On” and the megastar Linsey Buckingham-era Fleetwood Mac that peaked with “Rumours” and “Tusk”.
commentsThis very strong debut catapulted this band into indie superstardom and you can hear why. (actually, prior to putting it on I had forgotten it was their first record!
commentsMore from those seminal years then. Thank god punk and new wave eventually came along to rescue one from the dinosaurs that prevailed but there really was no other period for rock like the early to mid 70s.
