Stereolab - Chemical Chords (2008)

More of the same but different from the labs. Consistently reliable over all of their albums there’s always some subtleties on offer with each album.

Tyrannosaurus Rex - A Beard Of Stars (1970)

On vinyl This is definitely hippy dippy stuff preceding Marc Bolan’s glam days. I couldn’t resist picking this up on vinyl today at TWH.

Tindersticks - The Waiting Room (2016)

The Waiting Room Film Project videos Totally uncategorisable, Tindersticks remain an enigma. I couldn’t for a moment explain the experience of listening to them - there’s simply too much to take in.

David Bowie - David Live (1974)

On vinyl of course! Another essential record from my formative teenage years. First experienced, along with many other auditory pleasures, at my Uncle’s pad in Palmerston North.

Chris's Session - Nov 16

The themes were: Artist/band not from USA nor UK., Old artist still do-oo-oo-ing it (cannot be younger than our oldest committee member, nor won a Nobel prize)., Another example/update for a theme that you enjoyed from a previous month/year

Curve - Cuckoo (1993)

Another great find at the record fair yesterday. Curve’s second release in pretty mint condition. This is a huge sound with lots of fuzz and riffy keyboards.

The Creatures - Boomerang (1989)

Dropped in for a beer at The Free House this afternoon with my lovely wife Sarah and son Peter. Coincidentally, a “Black Vinyl Brown Beer” record fair was in full swing in the yurt.
