King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard - Butterfly 3000 (2021)
Prolific as ever, this is the Gizzard’s 18th record. This is just the sweetest, most blissed out sound I’ve heard all year.

The Cocteau Twins - Stars And Topsoil (2000)
Picked this fine compilaton up from my second favourite Melbourne record shop, Rocksteady Records in Lonsdale St, CBD. Just $33 Aussie dollars for a 2 LP white vinyl record is exceptional value.

David Axelrod - Songs Of Experience (1969)
A wonderful new discovery for me, often mentioned fleetingly in the distant past by mega-fan Nathan Ford, I’d never delved into this rabbit hole until now.

The Strokes - The New Abnormal (2020)
My Melbournian pal, Maurice, who I caught up with in person recently, has been raving about this record ad nauseam. To tone down his incessant admiration somewhat, I thought I’d better buy it on CD.

Peter Perrett - How The West Was Won (2017)
This is the ultimate fairy tale album. Peter Perret is probably lucky to be still on the planet yet alone in absolutely top form on this recording.

Lou Reed - Live In Italy (1984)
Another fantastic find in Melbourne was arguably Lou Reed’s best ever (official) live record “Live In Italy” which was recorded in 1983.

Suicide - Cheree (Record Store Day) (2021)
I was thrilled to get a copy of this very limited Record Store Day release on 10" clear vinyl. It took Alan Vega and Martin Rev, the core of Suicide, more than 30 years to get the recognition they deserved.

Holger Czukay - Der Osten Ist Rot (1984)
Completely wacko but totally enjoyable forth solo record from co-founder of krautrock band Can. Aside from the first song, “The Photo Song”, (definitely a false start as the “poppiest” song on the album), it’s an unconventional and wild ride across the remaining 10 tracks.

Rupert Hine - Immunity (1981)
One real blessing of spending an extra week in Melbourne, following a 7 day Covid-19 Aussie/NZ travel bubble pause, was spending some quality time trawling the records shops in Melbourne City and Brunswick/Smiths Street in Collingwood.

King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard - L.W. (2021)
What a mish mash of a record! And that’s high praise indeed. The width and depth of this covid lockdown production by these obviously bored and highly prolific Australians is quite remarkable.
