Moon Duo - Stars Are The Light (2019)
Allmusic.com, and their “know it all, yes we do have the final say on the matter” approach to music reviews is wearing thin.

Electronic - Electronic (Fact 290) (1991)
The Smiths and New Order. Two of the most influential bands of the 80’s. This masterpiece is the bastard offspring of Bernard Sumner and Jonny Marr, two key members of those respective stalwarts of British post punk.

Santana - Moonflower (1977)
OK it’s not a “proper” live album - it’s got studio recordings interspersed with the live stuff - but as a 17 year old totally immersed in guitar hero worship, this thing still stings the synapses.

Various Artists - Sunday Service (2019)
ACE Records presents: Music From Jarvis Cocker’s Sunday Service. Just right for this dreary Sunday afternoon, it’s time to revisit this wonderful compilation from England’s greatest living national eccentric.

Khruangbin - Mordechai (2020)
It’s obvious I’m not meant to be digging this band! First, their support slot with Tame Impala is now a non-event even if Mr.

Spacemen 3 - Playing With Fire (1989)
I happened to be viewing some YouTube video footage of Whakaari (White Island) just prior to, during and after the 2019 eruption, while listening to this record.

Half Japanese - Invincible (2019)
Can’t sing, can’t play. Perfect. The Fair Brothers are from Uniontown in Maryland, USA. They formed Half Japanese in 1975.

11/07 The Stroppies - Swoosh (2019)
This really could be Dunedin circa 1982. Despite an Australian twang as wide as The Tasman Ocean there’s a definite The Bats/The Clean jingly/jangly groove emanating these Melbournians.

The Beths - Jump Rope Gazers (2020)
More vinyl I’ve never listened to. It’s great to just buy stuff like in the old days when you only have reference to music choices courtesy of NME, Melody Maker, Sounds and local music rags like Rip It Up.

Royal Blood - Royal Blood (2014)
It’s hard to believe that this duo from Old Blighty’s Briton can make such a god forsaken racket. Playing just drums and bass, they could cause all sorts of inferiority complexes for many a larger ensemble.
