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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Split Enz: Our Greatest Band

I love Split Enz. When I think about it (which I’m only just doing now in order to create a subject to blog about) they are probably the band I have liked the longest – equal with The Beatles. I have been aware of the music of the Enz as long as I can remember, […]

Gig Review: BOWIE – Waiting In The Sky (Wgtn, April 16)

BOWIE: Waiting In The Sky St. James Saturday, April 16 Keyboardist Eddie Rayner (Split Enz) has assembled a killer band (most notably Brett Adams, formerly of The Mockers and currently of The Bads, on lead guitar) and with five featured lead vocalists (Wellington missed out on Jordan Luck for some reason) the stage was set […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 779

Phil Manzanera, K-Scope (1978) Meant as something of a continuation of the 801 studio band this is Phil Manzanera’s second solo album. His solo career stalls right here – and he picks up again when Roxy Music takes its first break. I hear this now though as not only a great Phil Manzanera record (a […]
