Playlist: DJ Set from the Spines Dreamboat Launch

Last Saturday, November 23, I played some records at the San Fran as part of the Spines’ Dreamboat album launch. One of the very few times I’ve played any records out in public this year actually. And it was a lot of fun. A great night. And based on the setlist from that night I’ve pulled together […]

If you’re as excited as me about seeing Fleetwood Mac (aka “Finnwood Mac”) in New Zealand in September you might want to know what the band is playing. Sure, okay, you might not! So in that case click out now. But with the new line-up solidified it looks like a new setlist has taken permanent shape – […]

Playlist: A Vinyl Affair’s 5th Birthday (DJ Set)

It’s been a while since I’ve offered up a wee playlist and I usually like to do them based around DJ sets – so last weekend I played some records out and about for the first time this year – it was the 5th Birthday of Wellington’s record fair – A Vinyl Affair and I was […]

RNZ Feature: Covers You Didn’t Know Were Covers

I’m usually on RNZ once a month to have a chat about some new albums. But now and then I present features on the show too. Last year I had nearly an hour to explore the music of George Harrison. I followed that up with a chat about Ringo Starr and played some of his best Beatles drum bits […]

Moby: Long Ambients Two

Moby  Long Ambients Two  Little Idiot  Moby returns with a second volume of his long ambient pieces. Designed specifically to put you to sleep (hey! No jokes!) this nearly four-hour playlist/mixtape-of-an-album is, as with its earlier volume, in line with Max Richter’s Sleep.  In fact there’s not a lot to say about this – and this is recommendation rather than review. The stretched, flattened, gospel-waft of […]

Playlist: MOJO Magazine’s 50 Greatest Fleetwood Mac Songs

The latest issue of MOJO magazine features a list of the 50 greatest Fleetwood Mac songs. It’s a pretty great list – taking in all versions of the band and cherry-picking from pretty much every album. So I decided to make a copy of the list for anyone that wanted to hear it – in the order […]

Playlist: The Phil Collins Setlist

Are you going to see Phil Collins at his New Zealand concert dates this week? Are you slightly interested to know what he will play? No? Okay, click the back button. But if you clicked here to know what he might play I’ve assembled this playlist. There’s also a drum piece of course – though Collins just […]

Playlist: Summer Sounds with Simon Sweetman

The other night I played a bunch of tunes at the San Fran, summer songs – Kiwi classic, a bit of 70s and 80s Yacht-Rock, some tunes I like… I enjoyed this mix of tunes and thought you might too – so here’s a Spotify Playlist you can help yourself to; might work for you… Not every […]

Playlist: Bob Dylan Aussie Tour 2018

Okay, so I created a playlist a few months back featuring the most-common Bob Dylan setlist from the start of his 2018 tour. But then he took a break. And the couple of months off has seen a few changes to the setlist. Gone are the Sinatra-era evergreens, in place a couple of kick ass songs […]

Playlist: Here’s What Bob Dylan Will Probably Play in Auckland and Christchurch in August 2018

So, Bob Dylan is back in New Zealand in a couple of months – it’ll be my first time seeing him in over a decade, and I’m amped. Tickets to the gig purchased, flights booked, I’ve been reading a few Dylan books, I’ve revisited his Nobel Prize speech, I’m in deep with the catalogue working […]

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 23

It’s been a while, but from time to time I put together a playlist based on random selections from my record collection – random, in that I just look at the back covers and pick a song, sometimes the most obvious song, sometimes the least-recognised, or less obvious tunes…I just reach into a crate (a […]

Playlist: A 40th Birthday DJ Set

The other month I was off down south to celebrate a mate’s birthday and to be the DJ’er on the night. Well, playing music at 40ths is something that has happened to me across the last few years (funnily enough). It’s a chance to play some old favourites but to also be open to some […]
