Based on the DJ set I played at the San Fran on the last Saturday of 2019 here’s a playlist I made for some summer-listening if you’re keen. It’s most of the songs from the night. If you like it give it a listen, follow me for other playlists etc…

Playlist: DJ Set from the Spines Dreamboat Launch
Last Saturday, November 23, I played some records at the San Fran as part of the Spines’ Dreamboat album launch. One of the very few times I’ve played any records out in public this year actually.

Playlist: A Vinyl Affair’s 5th Birthday (DJ Set)
It’s been a while since I’ve offered up a wee playlist and I usually like to do them based around DJ sets – so last weekend I played some records out and about for the first time this year – it was the 5th Birthday of Wellington’s record fair – A Vinyl Affair and I was […]

Playlist: MOJO Magazine’s 50 Greatest Fleetwood Mac Songs
The latest issue of MOJO magazine features a list of the 50 greatest Fleetwood Mac songs. It’s a pretty great list – taking in all versions of the band and cherry-picking from pretty much every album. So I decided to make a copy of the list for anyone that wanted to hear it – in the order […]

Playlist: Summer Sounds with Simon Sweetman

Playlist: Bob Dylan Aussie Tour 2018
Okay, so I created a playlist a few months back featuring the most-common Bob Dylan setlist from the start of his 2018 tour. But then he took a break. And the couple of months off has seen a few changes to the setlist. Gone are the Sinatra-era evergreens, in place a couple of kick ass songs […]

Playlist: Here’s What Bob Dylan Will Probably Play in Auckland and Christchurch in August 2018
So, Bob Dylan is back in New Zealand in a couple of months – it’ll be my first time seeing him in over a decade, and I’m amped. Tickets to the gig purchased, flights booked, I’ve been reading a few Dylan books, I’ve revisited his Nobel Prize speech, I’m in deep with the catalogue working […]

It’s been a while, but from time to time I put together a playlist based on random selections from my record collection – random, in that I just look at the back covers and pick a song, sometimes the most obvious song, sometimes the least-recognised, or less obvious tunes…I just reach into a crate (a […]

Playlist: A 40th Birthday DJ Set
The other month I was off down south to celebrate a mate’s birthday and to be the DJ’er on the night. Well, playing music at 40ths is something that has happened to me across the last few years (funnily enough). It’s a chance to play some old favourites but to also be open to some […]
