Digests: Album Reviews from 2017’s Third 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 […]Archive

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. […]Archive

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – October
A busy month, October. Lots of posts. I got into a bit of theatre-reviewing, there were some conversation and blog-post type things – not just the straight reviews. We debuted a new special guest with Retro Record Reviews and still lots of record reviews too – including plenty of albums by big names in the […]Archive

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – September
Back in Wellington for the whole month after a couple of months of being in a few different places and on holiday and so on. Very much a head-down/bum-up sort of a month but most of the energy went to the podcast. That said I still found time to get in a few reviews, book […]Archive

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – August
At the very start of August we were still away on our holiday – so when we returned it was all about hunkering down, and albums-wise I caught up with a few from earlier in the year (and even last year) as well as a few brand new things. Found lots to like of course […]Archive

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – July
Big month, July. I was away for a good portion of it – family holiday. But kept a bit of work going – including a wee Tour Diary. There were some reviews from abroad too but I climbed back into album reviews in earnest in July after a couple of quite months, still catching up […]Archive

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – June
June was a busy month – I was away for a friend’s birthday, also the podcast turned one. I watched (and reviewed) a lot of DVDs and read quite a few books, the Jazz Festival rolled in (and then out) of town. And I thought I didn’t review many albums – but they piled up, […]Archive

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – May
Most of May I was focussed on film reviewing – giving the relentless pursuit of album-reviewing a slight break, and there was a Documentary festival happening. I also added a few new book reviews to the files, including my first reviews of graphic novels, a form I’ve returned to – for reading pleasure – with […]Archive
