commentsAlong with last year’s wonderful “Savage”, this earlier release just ticks so many boxes. It’s dark. It’s heavy. It’s impossibly catchy and it’s possibly the most unfashionable record in my entire collection.
commentsWhat a fucking glorious racket!! This recently discovered quintet hail from San Diego and this monster is their first release in 14 years.
commentsI’ve decided it’s music-streaming-month. I’m now spending more on streaming services like Tidal, Amazon Music and YouTube Red and far less on a physical CD or vinyl record.
commentsAnother big bonkers record from the Super Furry’s. This, their 3rd record, is as good as any in their catalogue. They simply do not know how to make a dud record.
comments[5.1 DTS SW Remaster] What a revelation this wonderful recording is. While my Tull experience really started with “Aqualung” and “Living In The Past” and ended with 1978’s “Heavy Horses”, their back catalogue is well worth exploring.
commentsIt’s taken a few days to recover from our latest “Shut Up And Listen” session. I have been bereft of enthusiasm following an at times mind-warping journey through seven unique musical showcases of iconic musicians.
commentsThe themes were: Choose a musician, performer or whatever and 3 tracks which feature that special person.
commentsThis is where it all started with me and the Lizzy boys. The best dual guitar attack since Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter ambushed Lou’s “Rock’n’Roll Animal”.
commentsOK I cheated with this one. I’m streaming this into my headphones via hi-res Tidal on my iPhone as I make my signature dish, chicken biryani rice for this evening’s meal.
