Gig Review: Tami Neilson and Her Hot Rockin’ Band of Rhythm! (March 11, Wgtn)

Tami Neilson and Her Hot Rockin’ Band of Rhythm! San Fran Friday, March 11 The main thing I took home from this show – a terrific gig, featuring Tami and band up at the San Fran in Wellington – is that this Hot Rockin’ Band of Rhythm is exactly what a supporting band should be. […]

Stubs: #183 – Cliff Richard, Wellington, 2013

He has HUGE hands – which is fucking worrying given the current speculation/s…but he was still (Sir) Cliff Richard and I went along because it was a job; I was reviewing him. And he was okay, it was half a good gig actually…but Cliff will never be cool. So the next day, I was out for […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 767

The Triffids, Born Sandy Devotional (1986) I have a brand new favourite album – you see I’ve never owned this album before, never had the tape, CD or record. I knew about it from the Great Australian Albums series (good series that, albeit brief – would have been good to have a few more) and […]

Jeremy Taylor: Rugby World Cup 2015

Rugby World Cup 2015 Jeremy Taylor Germinal Press Jeremy Taylor is a self-confessed rugby tragic – and so here he gets to have a fan’s wet-dream by splooshing out a bit of analysis, swirling in some opinion and backing it up with those pesky things called facts. In this slim volume, an update of Germinal […]

Slow Boat Selections New and Old: # 7 – Taylor Swift, 1989

I’m not even sure when the Taylor Swift “thing” kicked off for me.  I mean, I realise she isn’t really making music for me, that her principal audience is not middle aged men (like me), but teenage girls. I even wondered if I just liked her because she is, as one of my friends so […]

Slow Boat Selections New and Old: # 6 – Morrissey, World Peace Is None of Your Business

The tenth solo album from erstwhile Smiths vocalist, animal rights activist and all-round enigma Steven Patrick Morrissey comes hot on the heels of last year’s huge-selling Autobiography. It is telling that the book sold dramatically more than any of the “comeback” albums he has released since 2004’s You Are The Quarry broke the drought that […]

Slow Boat Selections New and Old: # 5 – 2014, Year of the Album?

In direct contrast to 2013, where I actually struggled to name an album that really satisfied, from start to finish, as an album (the pick of the bunch ended up being Jonathan Bree’s superb The Primrose Path), 2014 has already seen a whole swag of records released that feel weighty, substantial and satisfying. 2013 seemed rather like year […]
