Quite why I start these almost impossible lists is something I probably need to speak quite earnestly to a therapist about, however, here I am, doing it again. As always it is just my opinion […]

2:54 – 2.54
I saw this album on CD in a charity shop and picked it up as part of a 3 for £1 deal. I was intrigued by the complete lack of information, I wasn’t sure if […]
Stina Nordenstam
I went to the local rubbish tip last week and had a quick look through the stack of CD’s they have there that people were going to throw away as landfill. Amongst the Westlife, Boyzone […]
FKA Twigs – Cellophane on Jimmy Fallon
I shared the official video of Cellophane in Your F***ing Sunny Day 45, (which I realised I forgot to post so I just did it), and it’s a great video and a great song, but […]
The White Room
Back in the 90’s, 94-96 to be precise, there was a short lived music show on TV called The White Room hosted by Mark Radcliffe and Jo Whiley. I really liked this show and have […]
Darkstar – Foam Island
Somebody bought this album back around 2015 and wasn’t very pleased with it as I found it in a used records bin still in its shrink wrap for £7.00. As it was released by Warp […]
Oh Good Lord
I didn’t now this existed unti I stumbled accross it today, now I feel my life is somehow diminished by having seen and heard it.
Hekla – Á
Who the hell is Hekla Magnúsdóttir? Well, she plays the theramin, and who doesn’t love the theramin?………………………. Don’t answer that. If you had to categorise her debut release you might very well go for something […]
Julie London – London By Night
Another of the best albums of 1959 arrived this week, the wittily titled ‘London By Night’ by Julie London. While compiling the best of list for 1959 I listened to a load of albums on […]
Nérija – Blume
The album for August I received today (actually 2 days ago now) from my Rough Trade Subscription is Blume by Nérija. I’m on my fourth listen and I absolutely bloody love it. To my thoroughly […]
First Ever Record
I would very much have liked to have bought a really cool first record, but I didn’t, at least not from most people’s point of view. I can’t remember exactly what year I bought my […]
Milano – Daniele Luppi & Parquet Courts
At the same time I bought this incredibly cheaply: Wild – Streets Of Laredo, I also picked up Milano by Daniele Luppi & Parquet Courts cheaply. It was on sale for £8 and I took […]
Odetta – My Eyes Have Seen
So my quest to find copies of every album in my Best Albums of 1959 continues with a copy of My Eyes Have Seen by Odetta. I had thought this one was going to be […]
BLUE DOT FESTIVAL 2019 – DAY 3 – Sunday
Although it was only a couple of weekends ago I’m already confused about what I saw when! I’ll do my best though. We were underwhelmed by the music offering on Sunday, in that there actually […]
Streets Of Laredo – Wild
When an album is priced at £3.00 one doesn’t expect much, but it is certainly worth taking a chance on, it’s the price of a cup of coffee after all. In an act of pure […]
Blue Dot Festival 2019 – Day 1 – Friday
I arrived back from a week in Hong Kong late on the 18th and early on the 19th I was driving to Macclesfield, specifically Jodrell Bank, for the Blue Dot Festival 2019, there was no […]
Blanket – How To Let Go
I found an album by Blanket in the reduced items bin at the record shop which I picked up for the following reasons, I quite liked the cover, it was cheap. I hadn’t heard of […]
