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 […]
Record Shops – Hong Kong
I’ll was in Hong Kong for just under a week in July so I had a look to see what record shops there were to visit. Part of the reason for putting it here was […]
POTW 1 (Playlist of the Week)
Playlist of the Week, it’s a playlist, weekly. There’s not much more to say about it than that.
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 […]
Aurora – A Different Kind Of Human – Step 2
Back in 2015 the John Lewis Christmas advert featured a cover of the Oasis song ‘Half a world away’, performed by Aurora. This advert is actually quite a big thing in the UK and every […]
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 […]
Things I Didn’t Know (an occasional series on a large topic)
I was asked to provide music for a work thing next week relating to Black History Month. Essentially a 3 hour (ish) playlist that can be put on shuffle while people mill about not knowing […]
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.
Further Charity Shop Adventures
So yes, I have again been in the charity shops but a different town this time. It is best to leave 2 to 4 weeks between visits so that some new stuff comes in, although […]
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 […]
Frank Sinatra – Come Dance With Me
Another 1959 record from the best of joins the shelves, and its Sinatra, so of course it’s good. I still think the cover photo is a bit creepy though. Come Dance with Me! is Frank Sinatra’s twenty-first […]
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 […]
What Does A Tenner Get You?
Armed with a £10 note, that didn’t have David Tennant’s face on it, I popped into a couple of charity shops today and walked away with 24 CD’s. Before you do the difficult arithmetic, I’ll […]
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 […]
