The Vinyl Countdown # 329

Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band, Night Moves (1976) Is this the best Bob Seger album? I think so. Worth it for the title track alone. Here we listen through nearly six minutes of Seger’s failed, failing and nearly-getting-there attempts to fuck, his teenage lust laid, erm, bare. And then that final onanistic wail. Talk about payoff. It is basically dripping […]

Driving in America: A Soundtrack For Your Voyage(s) in The United States

Music is with me every step of every day – and on my first visit to America I was amazed to see Grateful Dead CDs in every house that I visited. I figured it to be a bit like finding Dave Dobbyn or Crowded House or Bic Runga or Exponents CDs in New Zealand homes. […]

Bob Seger: Ride Out

Bob Seger Ride Out Capitol Records It’s been nearly a decade between albums. Mostly Seger has made the news for sounding like the old man shouting at the kids to get off his lawn – arguing against streaming and iTunes and then you hear this new album and it all but confirms that he is […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1168

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, Nine Tonight (1981) I’m never sure the required amount of shame one should have in mentioning Bob Seger. For some odd reason he’s been forgotten, discarded – dude had a great, great voice, good band, fine collection of songs. So, actually, no fucking shame here. None at all. […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1372

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, Stranger In Town (1978) You ever move the turntable around in your house? Like try it in a new room, a different room? Just did that with one of the turntables last week – it’s under the TV now. In the lounge. So put a crate of records […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1493

Michael Franks, The Art Of Tea (1975) Songs about food are ridiculous because they’re almost always metaphors for fucking – and yet there’s nothing remotely sexy about a) Michael Franks or b) Michael Franks singing about Eggplant. So why do I have this album then? Well, my first record-store job was late nights in the […]
