Look At This Photograph of Geri Allen Just Doing Her Job at The Piano With A Fucking Baby On Her Back!

I keep looking at this photo. Until a few weeks ago I had never seen it. I still don’t know how I arrived at it. I believe – after a bit of searching – that it was taken in 1997 by a photographer called Mark Miller. I assume it’s a festival gig. I do know […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 804

Donnie and Joe Emerson, Dreamin’ Wild (1979) Good times for sure – I loved the story around this as much as I loved the music – but I really did dig this music, just as soon as I heard it. Good stuff. Not even the endorsement of Ariel Pink could throw me. Good, good times […]

Stubs: #141 – Hot Chelle Rae, Wellington, 2012

I’ve done some fucking dumb things in my time as a music reviewer. And this might have been the dumbest. The show was obviously not for me – not only was it Hot Chelle Rae but someone called Cher Lloyd was opening. I had to look both up and pretend to be interesting. I stood […]

White Hinterland: Baby

White Hinterland Baby Dead Oceans Casey Dienel records as White Hinterland and Baby is her third full-lengther, her best album too – as finally the songwriting and the vocal gymnastics work together rather than pushing, pulling and then leaping in different directions. Her songs might start in one place and then end up in quite […]
