Khruangbin: Late Night Tales

Various Artists: Khruangbin: Late Night Tales Late Night Tales This is the one in the series I’ve been most looking forward to this year – for many reasons I guess, chief amongst them is the fact that I’m a pretty big fan of Khruangbin – as I was saying right here just recently.

DJ Setlist: Govett-Brewster Gallery 50th Birthday After Party, Saturday February 29, 2020

I’m a big fan of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery over in New Plymouth there. So what a great honour and treat to be asked over to play some tunes at the end of their street party. The Govett-Brewster is celebrating its 50th Birthday – the people of New Plymouth were out in the street with […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 203

Donald Byrd, Black Byrd / Slop Jar Blues [Single] (1973) The guy in the shop goes, “oh mean, you got some DJ sets coming up?” And I said, “Nah, I just want to play this at home”. Cool story, bro. Yeah, I know. But I can see how buying a single by Donald Byrd might […]

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. And it was a lot of fun. A great night. And based on the setlist from that night I’ve pulled together […]

Stubs: # 240 – Cuba Dupa, Wellington, 2015

Give me a name-tag and I’ll hide it. Lanyards. They go in my pocket. Backstage passes…even more cringe. And something with “VIP” on it. FUCK OFF! But – as you can see – I hold onto this shit. I keep the lanyards along with the ticket-stubs; I haven’t kept every single one, but a few […]

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 […]

DJ Setlist: San Fran presents Summer Sounds with Simon Sweetman, December 28, 2018

Most years between Christmas and New Year’s I do a wee DJ set at the San Fran, our way of letting the people know the bar’s open again in the lead up to Bill E’s New Year’s Eve extravaganza. It’s a low-key thing. Summer tunes. Usually “Kiwi BBQ” is the theme, this year I decided […]
