RNZ Feature: Is this month 30 years ago the biggest in music history?

About once a month or so I have a long chat on RNZ about a particular musical artist or genre or a theme – for their regular Tuesday music features. This week I chose to talk about the month of September in 1991 – some people say it’s the greatest month for music releases. It’s […]

Bobby Gillespie and Jhenny Beth: Utopian Ashes

Bobby Gillespie and Jhenny Beth Utopian Ashes Third Man Records We love those heartbreak albums and duets. Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons, the Richard and Linda Thompson devastation that played out over a half dozen records but was so brutally captured on one in particular – and as an aside to that, sometimes linked, the […]

The 1001 Albums Challenge # 122: The Shamen – “En-Tact”

Barriers of entry. You just need to dive in – mostly. But sometimes it helps if you’re there at the right time. And with anything dance-music related I feel that’s most certainly the case, for the most part anyway. I love a lot of Daft Punk’s music because I hear it always thinking about how I heard […]

I Love A Good Artist-Curated Compilation Album: Bobby Gillespie’s “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down” Nails The Format

I’m a sucker for a great compilation that’s been put together by someone in the know, someone with knowledge that’s of interest, someone connected to the music – and showing that connection through the tunes chosen. We call them mixtapes most often, we make our own now. We can use Spotify or YouTube or MixCloud […]

Re-Wired For (New) Sound(s): Ten Important Electronica Albums In My Life

I recently posted this – a list of “Ten important metal albums”. And I started it off by linking to this – “Ten important hip-hop albums”. I mentioned then that I would be doing a series of these, across genres, and I repeated the opening paragraph from the hip-hop post. So now I’m going to […]

V/A: Bobby Gillespie presents Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down

Various Artists: Bobby Gillespie Presents Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down Ace Records/Border I’m a sucker for a great artist-driven compilation/mix-tape. They’ll tell you that you can do it yourself via Spotify or almost any other platform. And you can. But the best mixtapes are the ones your friends make you – because you get to see […]

Cut/Copy: Free Your Mind

Cut/Copy Free Your Mind Modular From the Sunday-market-car-boot-sale-cover right down to the second generation second summer of love (1989) trace-arounds there’s really nothing here; no point in being here. Nothing to hear that hasn’t been done before – and better. The only reason this might fill some time, put a wiggle in your stride while […]
