Oscar & Neneh: Flashback!
I’ve had a few jobs in my life – I usually do more than one at any time. Some of them pay me a wage, others don’t – or barely do. Some of my jobs/tasks just feel like homework, the most relentless kind, self-imposed too, I guess. But the best job I’ve ever had is […]Archive

Old Interview Haunts: Old Interviews Haunt
These days I do most of my interviews, face to face, in long form, for the podcast. And I love doing that. But I have a lot of time – too – for the old phoner. I’m always saying, on the podcast, that I hate/d the “15 minute phoner” and that’s true. I did. And […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 807
Neneh Cherry, Buffalo Stance [Single] (1989) I was pretty chuffed to find this just recently – huge Neneh Cherry fan, loved this song from when I first heard it and kept up with her releases then got hooked again in a big way with the Blank Project album (leading to interviewing her and then meeting […]Archive

Four Tet: Morning/Evening
Four-Tet Morning/Evening Text Records/Temporary Residence Ltd Four Tet – aka Kieran Hebden – has released just over a half-dozen albums under his preferred moniker, then there’s collaborations and production work, mix albums, “solo” albums (under his birth name). And he’s in the middle of an exciting period, following up stints producing Neneh Cherry’s incredible “comeback” […]Archive

The Music Has Always Been There – A Chat with Neneh Cherry
Music is everywhere and all across the Neneh Cherry story. Music, culture, the arts. Music flows through her – and so many of her family members. Music is at the core of her marriage, her life – and so when last year’s return record, Blank Project broke something of a silence it seemed truly remarkable. […]Archive

Wildbirds & Peacedrums: Rhythm
Wildbirds & Peacedrums Rhythm Leaf Spain Wildbirds & Peacedrums is Swedish husband-wife duo, Andreas Werliin and Mariam Wallentin. Rhythm is the group’s fourth full-lengther, and a fair summary of how these songs have been built, mostly just drums and voice to announce each song, a mood then enhanced with a thin trace of synth bassline […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 998
Neneh Cherry, Blank Project (2014) One of my albums of the year – possibly my absolute number one, certainly a Top 3 candidate. And the nicest surprise of the year, I wasn’t anticipating (wonderful) new music from Neneh Cherry. I’ve just bought the LP because I like to have one or two of my absolute […]Archive

Her latest […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1058
V/A, Slaves of New York [OST] (1989) I bought this in a closing-down sale – 10c. I have never seen the film – but the trailer both makes me want to see it and puts me off. I have no idea why I bought this – could be any number of reasons (beyond the 10 […]Archive
