Tom Morello: Comandante (ep)
Tom Morello Comandante (ep) Tom Morello I feel so conflicted when thinking about the music Tom Morello has put into the world. There’s a lot I love. And then there’s so much that’s just fucking ghastly. Nasty-terrible. So bad. The whole Nightwatchman solo persona is borderline unforgivable I reckon. Just awful. Terrible singer/songwriter stuff that […]Archive

Frank Zappa: A Very Zappa Birthday (ep)
Frank Zappa A Very Zappa Birthday (ep) UMG Recordings, Inc. Had he still been alive, Frank Zappa would have celebrated his 80th birthday this month. As we know he barely made it into his 50s.

Nellie McKay: Bagatelles (ep)
Nellie McKay Bagatelles (ep) PALMETTO+ While people like Amanda Palmer go for attention and gimmick themselves out as a covers-clown with a uke or available via Twitter 24/7 for the AMAs that only the truly desperate could want, Nellie McKay’s actual genius seems vastly under-heard, under-appreciated, under-discovered.Archive

Ween: Live At Five In New York ’95 (ep)
Ween Live At Five In New York ’95 (ep) Happenstance Ween. One of the greatest musical entities of the last 30 years. Mad. Weird. Wonderful. Often all three at once. And sometimes very, very bad too – but usually in the very best way. When Ween broke up I was gutted. Even though the two […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 2
Elton John, Don’t Ya Wanna Play This Game No More (Sartorial Eloquence) [Single] (1980) When Oscar was about 18 months old and through until he was three or four I guess – Slow Boat Records was one of his favourite places (it probably still is, truth be told). But as a toddler he was allowed […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 3
Bobby Bloom, Montego Bay [Single] (1970) I’m still working through a batch of singles a retired DJ gifted to me – this is one of them. People consider Bobby Bloom a one-hit-wonder, which he was. It’s further impacted by his sad demise. Depression, and then an accidental shooting. Dead by 28. But he co-wrote a […]Archive
