Stereolab - Oscillons From The Anti-Sun (2005)

While I’ve replaced ALL of my Stereolab CDs over the last 12 months with astoundingly well remastered and plump-with-music, vinyl editions, I won’t be getting rid of this rare 3CD/1DVD compilation anytime soon.

Stereolab -Switched On (1992)

This really early collection of singles and EPs that were recorded prior to their first album Peng! shows just how far they haven’t come.

Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup (1996)

This album, their fourth, may have been my very first exposure to the Stereolab collective back in the late 90’s. Many a CD was thrust into my mitts, including this one, as I ventured into Everyman Records.

05/02 Stereolab - Sound Dust (2001)

I always wanted to listen to this record this evening. It’s not quite reverse chronologically but fuck it! I make up and change the rules as I go.

Electric Light Orchestra - The Very Best Of [vinyl] (2016)

Another brilliant collection, like yesterday’s compilation, of extraordinary and ageless AOR music. Most of the time I like to feel the grime and hear the dirge.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits [vinyl] (1993)

You can thank not taking the time to properly programme stations on the car radio and the holiday break for my two latest indiscretions.

Supergrass - I Should Coco (1995)

Literally just out of Kindy, these Oxford youngsters thrust themselves into mid-90’s Brit-Pop obsessed England. This debut is surprisingly competent for such tiny tots and remains a highly listenable and classic pop record.

Pink Floyd - The Wall (1979)

There’s no getting away from it - Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” is quite good. It’s certainly the Waters and Gilmour show with some killer songs amongst the more operatic/filler stuff.

Run The Jewels II (2014)

Just a great big slab of shit-kicking R&B on double teal vinyl to upset the neighbours and add an edge to the Friday night “no work tomorrow” alcohol fueled exhortations.
