Au.Ra - Jane's Lament (2015)

Mesmeric debut from Sydney duo Au.Ra. I’m not prepared to put a label on it but it’s up there with a couple of other favourite and recent Aussie releases.

The Charlatans - Modern Nature (2015)

“Remember where you were yesterday” is a sentiment conveyed in the liner notes on this record dedicated to founding member and drummer Jon Brookes, who died of a terminal illness just prior to its recording.

Ted Nugent - Motor City Mayhem (The 6000th Concert) [On Blu-Ray] (2008)

Well Wang Dang Sweet Poontang! You may wonder why on earth would I be watching this red neck, right wing, NRA high priest, racoon tailed, misogynist geriatric play to an audience of mostly chubby fellow white trash devotees.

Gruff Rhys - Babelsberg [Tidal] (2018)

Absolutely brilliant solo album lovingly crafted by the Super Furry Animals frontman. I listened to this yesterday on my journey back from Golden Bay.

Various Artists - Note Of Hope (2011)

Woody Guthrie purists are particularly disapproving of this release - it does show up in the reviews. Get over it people, Dylan went electric decades ago and it was about folkin’ time.

Danger Mouse And Sparklehorse - Dark Night Of The Soul (2010)

Some of my favourite vocalists appear on this final collaborative outing for Mark Linkous, who died just months before it’s release.

Nuggets - Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968 (1972)

A brilliant relic of 60’s rock and possibly one of the most famous compilations of all time. Great to have this on vinyl.

David Gilmour - David Gilmour (1978)

This record is more often than not completely rubbished by the music critics. This debut by the ex, and once second-in-charge Floydian, is full of trademark Gilmour and recalls great memories of me playing this with great regularity.

TV On The Radio - Seeds (2014)

I did the $2 grab bag from TWH this afternoon. Picked up eight quite obscure albums (including The Pop Group’s “Citizen Zombie” and Iron and Wine’s “Sing Into My Mouth”) - all for under 20 bucks.

Jeff Beck - Blow By Blow [SACD Surround!] (1975)

Ok “Wired” was my first exposure to Geoffrey Arnold Beck, and what a watershed moment that was!!!!!. However, this record lives on as my favourite JB recording.
