The Vinyl Countdown # 105
Split Enz, Waiata (1981) I like this album – it’s always been one of my go-to Split Enz records – obviously the big hit, the shining gem of a single is One Step Ahead (and I have the 45 of that) but this was my second favourite from the ‘silver’ box-set of CDs (when I […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 327
Split Enz, I Hope I Never [Single] (1980) What a song this is! Where did it come from? What does it mean? There’s a story – a rumour, perhaps – about the triggering of this song. I know about that. You probably do too. But what I mean is the inspiration for not only the lyrics, the […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 342
V/A, Rikky and Pete [OST] (1988) I was chuffed to find this – something I knew about for a while…it’s the soundtrack to a film of the same name (obviously). Have yet to see the film, just this trailer. But I’ll hunt it out. The songs here (mostly) come from Phil Judd, many under the […]Archive
