Being sandwiched between “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” and “Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy” doesn’t help. To me, “Caribou” it was just another great Elton John record which I enjoyed as much as the others.

A punk-funk-soul one-two that leaves you dazed and delighted. That’s the headline. I just love taking risks with music but at the same time I’m quite hesitant when considering my choices.

Jamie Smith (XX) and his main collective The XX, are very hard to define musically. Despite borrowing from many different sources they still seem to be bereft of any definable genre.

You’ll want to listen to this record sober. Just saying. After returning from one of many end-of-year work dos, and putting this record on - my advice would be to play something a bit more conventional.

I’ve been saving this. This is Giant Sand’s 10th record. I bought my first, and only prior Giant Sand record, 2015’s “Heartbreak Pass”, a few years ago.

Here comes the Martian Martian! Even for Jonathan Richman, this record is totally unexpected, extraordinary and otherworldly. And that is saying a lot about a Jonathan Richman record.

This is a great example of some of the most challenging, original and richly rewarding music being made in 2020. It’s been a feeble, and in many cases, a febrile year for most people.

“The Modern Lovers”, from 1976 is in my top 10 records of all time. (The Modern Lovers was also the name of the band fronted by the Jonathan Richman.

At home feeling a bit under the weather today. Not really in the mood for anything too abrasive so reached for some neo psychedelic alt folk music.
