Five Songs For Friday: 27 – The Return of ‘Five Songs For Friday’

I’ve been worried about getting a podcast up some part of Thursday or Friday and then work – the pesky day-job kind – has been on the horizon, looming, with early starts every Saturday for most of the last year.

Stubs: #167 – Jan Hellriegel, Wellington, 2010

I had been a fan of Jan Hellriegel back in the day – when that first album came out we heard it, and liked it. It was a big deal. And then when she released a new album – after a long time away from making music (or at least releasing music) I was into […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1211

Cassandra’s Ears, Private Wasteland (1988) I didn’t know Cassandra’s Ears at the time – but if I’d heard them I reckon I would have been right on board, could have gone nicely with the Schnell-Fenster I was so obsessed with (and still am to this day). But I did know about Jan Hellriegel right from […]

Jan Hellriegel: Lost Songs

Jan Hellriegel Lost Songs Blind Date Records It’s been a long journey for Jan Hellriegel, something her last album, 2009’s “comeback”, All Grown Up, certainly announced. With the release of this collection of bits and bobs, the Lost Songs of her career to date, she seeks to clarify that. Liner notes help tell the story […]
