Paul McCartney: Egypt Station

Paul McCartney Egypt Station Capitol Much as I liked NEW the, er, new Paul McCartney album of five years ago, his last studio solo album for a time, it hasn’t aged particularly well. Too many cooks spoiled that broth. But at least it showed the restless creative spirit that is Sir Paul McCartney, former Beatle, […]

Neil Young + Promise of The Real: The Visitor

Neil Young + Promise of The Real The Visitor Reprise Neil Young’s 2010s output is going to rival his 1980s for being wilful, stubborn, stylistically diverse – and “non-representative”. The gap is widening between the truly great Neil Young albums too. But you think he gives a fuck? Or ever has for that matter? Right […]

My RNZ Album Reviews for 2017

For the last couple of years I’ve been turning up once a month or so and reviewing a couple of albums on RNZ’s Afternoon Show with Jesse Mulligan. A couple of times there’s been a fill-in host, but mostly it’s been me with Jesse. He’s nice to talk with about music – he seems to […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 569

The Nudge, Dark Arts (2017) I’ve liked Wellington band The Nudge in the past – but I haven’t listened to them enough to be a massive fan. That changed somewhat with the delivery of their second album – a copy of the vinyl dropped around to the house with the suggestion that I give it […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1054

Paul McCartney, NEW (2013) Have you got the time for McCartney’s “NEW” album? – I asked at the end of my review. And then, I promptly forgot about the “NEW” album by Paul McCartney. You see, as sometimes has to be the way, I was reviewing that from a link, a stream. I hardly ever […]

Paul McCartney: New

Paul McCartney New Hear Music The awfully titled but not entirely awful Kisses on The Bottom (okay, it was mostly awful) has proved to be a total sidestep – Macca servicing the When I’m 64-crowd before running off to create a new Abbey Road or McCartney or Ram – okay, okay, New is not quite […]
