Nadar Surf - High/Low (1996)
I heard a great song, “Popular” by this New York-based band on a recent podcast. I really needed to check them out a bit more.

Low - The Great Destroyer (2005)
Another faultless record from these Duluth-based, slow-core pioneering Mormons. (Incidentally, Duluth was also the birth place of one Robert Zimmerman). Recently picked up by Sub Pop records this is a major leap forward in instrumental layering and accessibility.

Kacy & Clayton & Marlon Williams - Plastic Bouquet (2020)
Recorded in Saskatoon (Saskatchewan?) Nashville and Lyttelton, this country and western tinged folk record is a brilliantly realised collaberation between Cananadian duo Kacy Lee Anderson and Clayton Linthcium, of Kacy & Clayton, and New Zealand wunderkid, Marlon Williams.

Various Artists - Spunk: Days Of Future Past (2004)
The best of Spunk 1994-2004. 2xCD $24.95. As the blurbs says “Including rare & live tracks”. I love a good compilation.

L'Impératrice - Tako Tsubu (2021)
Oh yeah! Parisian disco collective completely stuck in a 70s time warp. Banging out on my big B&Ws. Awesome! This evening I have been listening on:

Bang Gang - Something Wrong (2003)
The wonderful film “Screaming Masterpiece” introduced me to many great Icelandic musicians. There were many “wow” moments throughout this music documentary and it ultimately led me to this “band” and this astounding record.

Guru's Jazzmatazz - Vol.2 (1995)
Great 2nd release that merges mainstream Jazz with street cred Hip-Hop and successfully ticks the “really cool” box. While Vol.1 was the bee’s knees, this is still brilliant.

Beck - Guero (2005)
While it couldn’t possibly top “Odelay”, it is a wonderful potpourri of brilliance. A decade later, his songwriting has matured like a fine wine.

Yo La Tengo - Fade (2013)
Had a bit of a false start with this one. Cable connection issues this evening from my turntable to my amplifier.

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002)
When Alt-Country does Radiohead. This was absolutely panned by Wilco’s record company and seen as commercial suicide. Wilco refused to budge and left the label.
