The Vinyl Countdown # 706
The Riviera Strings, Love Is Blue (1968) This must be one of the oldest records in my collection – passed down, handed on of course…but I just always remember this one being around…in mum and dad’s collection; I don’t really remember it ever being played though. I used to have this DJ gig – a […]Archive

Stubs: #162 – Morcheeba, Wellington, 2014
I never cared for Morcheeba – at all. I liked a lot of the stuff around them but just never gave them much notice. Probably because working in music stores in the late 90s and early 2000s it was smart to separate yourself from a lot of what you had to play instore. So I […]Archive

DJ Setlist: Motel Bar, Friday, March 28, 2014
I had a really good time playing tunes at Motel this week – pushed the boat out a bit, searched for a few trinkets I hadn’t played previously, and returned a few into the mix that have been out on a break. I was tired this week too – if I’m honest the thought of […]Archive

DJ Setlist: Motel Bar, Friday, March 14, 2014
Back at Motel for the night – on the wheels of steel. A quieter crowd than the usual Friday, everyone worried about the storm apparently. But a good few people there to start with – and to end with. And in the middle, when it was very quiet, the music went all over the place. […]Archive

DJ Setlist: Motel Bar, Friday, February 28, 2014
My second set for the year at Motel – had a lot of fun with this one, quite a few things I’d never played out of the house before, and as always a few old favourites creeping back in. Different feel to this set than others though. And I enjoyed that. Here’s the tale of […]Archive

DJ Setlist: Motel Bar, Friday, February 21, 2014
My first time back playing records at Motel for 2014 and it was fun to get back there behind the turntables, in that little corner of that little room. I love it. First Friday night too. A few more people than has often been the case, and a really friendly, chatty crowd too. Here’s how […]Archive

DJ Setlist: Motel Bar, Thursday, December 19, 2013
Final night at Motel for 2013 – an odd night, and a rather odd set of tunes really. I went along thinking I’d go sorta vaguely country and also a little bit rock’n’roll and I went in both of those directions and all of the places in-between – a few classics, a bit of kitsch. […]Archive

DJ Setlist: Motel Bar, Saturday, December 14, 2013
Another Saturday night down at the Motel and a playlist to start with while I dashed off to see the Belinda Carlisle concert along with tens of others…then back to the Motel for some records. So here’s how it all looks laid down in a line… DJ iPod (Playlist): Cannonball Adderley, Love For Sale […]Archive

DJ Setlist: Motel Bar, Thursday, December 12, 2013
Six hours on the wheels-of-steel at Motel Bar last night. Quite a random grab of records before I was out the door, a few old favourites – as always, but lots of first time in public tunes, and a few special dedications and some help at the end with a couple of classics. Here’s the […]Archive

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 7
I’ve got a crate that sits on the floor in the study and in and out go the records each week – I grab a few to play down at Motel and then give them a rest other weeks – so it’s always a mixed bag. Here’s a playlist from this Random Record Crate […]Archive
