Playlist: Shut Up And Listen
Time for another playlist. I made this one a few days back – 40 songs, just under three hours of music. No real theme here, just a bunch of songs I like and thought might sound good altogether. That’s it. But I wanted to share it around – in case anyone else liked what they […]Archive

Playlist: Make A Jazz Noise
I make a few playlists – some to share, many are just for myself. Well, they’re all to share because they’re on Spotify and anyone can find them or can follow my account to get the updates etc. But what I mean is sometimes I’m specifically making a playlist for an audience – whereas other […]Archive

Cool Summer: The Musical Rediscoveries of 2020/2021
Every year it’s music. All day it’s music. All the time. And if it’s not then there’s a film on – and I’m usually noticing the music. Or it’s a podcast. Which has music. Or is an interview about music. When I’m reading it’s a music biography or it’s poetry – which has its own […]Archive

Playlist: “It’s Been Five Years” David Bowie Tribute
I’ve done a few Bowie tribute DJ sets over the years, including when he was alive. But last weekend marked the fifth year since his passing – so I rolled out another five-hour DJ set. I’ve already shared the setlist but figured you might want to have a listen to these tunes in this order. Someone said […]Archive

Playlist: The Death Of Music Journalism – Songtrack
I’m releasing my debut collection of poetry on October 12. It’s called The Death of Music Journalism – and unsurprisingly features a lot of references to music. When I published my first book, On Song, back in 2012, the number one question/complaint was Where’s the accompanying CD? (We still had CDs back in 2012). It was way too expensive to […]Archive

Playlist: Sunny Daze That I Thought Would Never End
Hey, how was that lockdown for you? We’re at level two now and so the walks can extend a bit further and you can add to your bubble, or pop it, or whatever…there are still some rules of course but all going well they’ll ease in the coming days and weeks and hopefully talk of […]Archive

Playlist: Simmering Rage For Sinners and Slaves
I’ve been listening to a lot of reggae and roots music of late – and always plenty of blues and funk and soul. But with the return of an interest in Jamaican music I’ve been thinking a lot about the word ‘Slavery’ and how it comes up and is used in a variety of songs […]Archive

Playlist: Climbing The Ladder To Level 3
I’m enjoying making some random playlists during lockdown. So here’s another one. New Zealand is set to move to Level 3 in its bid to flatten curves and cure the spread of the Covid-19 infection. And here’s a playlist you can listen to because of that – or regardless. It’s all the same when it’s all the same […]Archive
