Stubs: # 53 – Phoenix Foundation, Wellington, 2012

I love The Phoenix Foundation – great band, perhaps the best in the country. Certainly you could make a case for them as that. I’ve seen them a bunch of times, always enjoyed it. Well, usually. Pretty much always. Ironic perhaps that one of the only times I got to write about them for the […]

Black Minnaloushe: Vacant Lot

Black Minnaloushe Vacant Lot BMR Records Black Minnaloushe is the brainchild/project of Wellingtonian Andrew Carey – he played in The Livids with his cousin Sean O’Brien who is perhaps better known these days for playing under the name Joe Blossom. So he had this kinda melodic, almost dream-pop bed to work from but adds to […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1360

Pink Floyd, Meddle (1971) Increasingly, my favourite Pink Floyd era is everything between 1968-1972 – and here’s a lot in there. The first thing I heard from within that timeframe was Meddle, because One Of These Days was excerpted for A Collection Of Great Dance Songs (the first PF cassette tape I ever owned). As […]
