RNZ Reviews: November 2019

Once a month or so I have a chat on RNZ on their Afternoons show with Jesse Mulligan. These things start – randomly and stop in much the same way. I hope to keep doing this. For a while at least. I think I started in December of 2015, so now four years into  it or so… It’s […]

Digests: Album Reviews from 2017’s Final Quarter

I am not writing as many album reviews as I used to – 2013, 2014, 2015 and even 2016 were all very big years for album-review writing for me. I wrote hundreds. Sometimes 40 or 50 a month. For many reasons I’m not doing anywhere near that now – I have a weekly podcast I’m […]

My RNZ Album Reviews for 2017

For the last couple of years I’ve been turning up once a month or so and reviewing a couple of albums on RNZ’s Afternoon Show with Jesse Mulligan. A couple of times there’s been a fill-in host, but mostly it’s been me with Jesse. He’s nice to talk with about music – he seems to […]

The Death of the Album (has been greatly exaggerated): I Listen To and Review Albums. Still.

It’s in my interests to not believe it – I still like to write about albums. I still want to react to the album as a whole. There are plenty of other music-blogs/sites that plug singles but it’s never been something that’s interested me. I like to consume albums. I receive albums to review – […]

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – November

Strange month, November. That election didn’t help things – and we lost Leonard Cohen! And more besides (Leon Russell, Sharon Jones…) I didn’t write a lot of album reviews. I did share a lot of other things though – new essays and blog-posts, think-pieces, album reviews of classic old albums…a bit of theatre reviewing too. […]
