UPDATE: The Wellington show has now been cancelled due to low ticket sales. Sam Cutler was tour manager for The Rolling Stones during the tumultuous Altamont show that capped the 1969 tour.

The Ghost of Electricity: War Stories by Jon McLeary # 99 The Stones

It was my mate Geordie who first got me into The Rolling Stones. He was from Newcastle and brought his record collection with him when his family moved to Hamilton. His albums had more elaborate covers than the versions we got out here. He had a great passion for the Mick Taylor years, had seen […]

Olafur Arnalds: Gimme Shelter [OST]

Olafur Arnalds Gimme Shelter [OST] Day Twenty-Eight I’ve not seen the film and I’m not sure that I will – it doesn’t appeal, beyond the fact that there’s clearly some beautiful and arresting cues to be heard in the film’s soundtrack. This very much appeals to me, scratches that Max Richter itch, there’s a lovely […]

Angelique Kidjo: Spirit Rising

Angelique Kidjo Spirit Rising Razor & Tie This live album is your Angelique Kidjo Greatest Hits CD; even though it’s not really a career summary.
