What A Good Score! – #8: Saturday Night Fever by Various Artists

The soundtrack to the movie Saturday Night Fever is one of the greatest-selling soundtrack albums of all time! It also – as if this is a surprise, given the number of people who have bought it over the years – happens to be very good. It is one of those moment-capturing slices of pop-culture. Saturday Night […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 5

Fiona Apple, Fetch The Bolt Cutters (2020) Lockdown Records. There were a few. This was one of them. An album that arrived while we weren’t going anywhere – beyond daily walks. And an album I spent a lot of time with, since I was inside for most of each day and the stereo was always […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1248

V/A, The Godfathers of Psychobilly (2012) You too can build your own Tarantino-esque soundtrack/comp with something like this – a pretty cool double album; a few things I know quite well already and a few I hadn’t heard – the perfect thing then. Played a few of these as part of my Halloween DJ set […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1253

Richard Thompson, Dream Attic (2010) If you ever needed any proof that the people who think they are running things are a bunch of fucking idiots then peep this: one of NZ’s biggest tour promoters has Persona non grata’d me – for no (known) reason. I’m banned from their shows, wasn’t allowed into Neil Young […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1283

Biz Markie, Weekend Warrior (2003) I heard this shortly after it was released – I think a friend was sent a copy along with a bunch of discs; a friend of his from the States used to send over music. And it became an instant favourite. It’s filled with good humour and great flow – […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1316

Jaga Jazzist, Live With Britten Sinfonia (2013) So this is a record of every, erm, record that makes it into the house. And so I haven’t yet listened to this double-LP; so new is it. A welcome arrival on the doorstep this morning. You don’t – really – get a lot of perks as a […]
