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 […]Archive

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 […]Archive

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 […]Archive

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 […]Archive

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 […]Archive

Playlist: Paul on Drums – Big Macca Attack
“Ringo! The best drummer in the world? He’s not even”, so the famous quip goes, “the best drummer in The Beatles”. Attributed to John Lennon, it’s actually a clever piece of satire by the comedian Jasper Carrott. Not only is it the funniest thing he said it has a deadly accuracy – John Lennon might […]Archive

Playlist: Tex Perkins’ Soundtrack For His Book “TEX”
I’m mid-way through Tex Perkins’ Autobiography – a terrific read so far. Lots of fun, great yarns, and some reminders of brilliant music – not just the music Tex has been part of under various band guises either. The music fan comes through page after page. And a quick skip to the final pages shows […]Archive

Playlist: Funky Summer (Vol. 1)
It was meant to be a DJ set in the summer sun but the rain kicked in that afternoon, a storm, add to that it was the very start of the year and people were looking for any excuse not to be out, a thunderstorm being just perfect. So I played a bunch of tunes […]Archive

Playlist: Great Kiwi Driving Playlist
There are several great Kiwi roadtrip albums that I always pack for a trip – but how about a single playlist? Well, ahem, For Today, I thought this would do…50 songs that should get you from A to B with even enough time if you plan to head on to C or have to pull […]Archive

Playlist: Yet Another 80s Playlist
Time for another 80s playlist – so I call this one Yet Another 80s Playlist…and when I say “time for another 80s playlist” what I really mean is last weekend I DJ’d a corporate Christmas party with a 1980s theme. And so I’ve loaded all those tunes up into a playlist – it’s quite nice […]Archive
