A chat with Auckland-based musician/producer/soundtrack composer Sean James Donnelly – better known, in band and solo-musician guise as SJD.

Great Kiwi Albums You Must Revisit: # 13 Finn

I’ve always loved the Finn album, the first collaborative pairing of Neil and Tim Finn; just the brothers (Dave Dobbyn plays bass on one song on the album, beyond that all the instrumental duties are handled by Neil and Tim).

Plenty to […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1560

Talking Heads, Naked (1988) People forget about this album – or try to forget about this album. I can’t go calling it the best Talking Heads album. But I don’t agree with the idea that only the first four albums were worth it. I like all of the band’s material – as I outlined here […]
