The Vinyl Countdown # 166

Electric Light Orchestra, Olé ELO (1976) I possibly didn’t need this – since I am collecting up all of the ELO albums as I find them and already have that classic best-of – but I saw this in the store and that little lightbulb went off; I had never seen this on the shelf in […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 239

A message about SAMOA from Air New Zealand Geez, if it wasn’t for the cover image the title might look like a warning or something with those chosen block-capitals. It’s one of those flexi singles – a promotional item from/for Air New Zealand. And the only real info I found about it is in that […]

Gig Preview: Rodger Fox presents… “Charlie Parker with Strings featuring Dick Oatts”

One of my favourite albums is Charlie Parker with Strings – what a lush and wonderful thing that is. The tireless Rodger Fox is bringing that to life, with touring American saxophonist  Dick Oatts (he of stints with Eddie Gomez, Thad Jones & Mel Lewis among many others) joining a local rhythm section, string quartet and two […]

He likes Doing It. He Likes Being It: The Overseer of The Architecture of Songs – “I Wanted To Be A Filmmaker Anyway” – Alejandro Escovedo on Trump, his new album, overcoming “That Disease” and then the songs, the music, the influence of his family, the connection, the gift…

Alejandro Escovedo is a songwriter’s songwriter – people like Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams and Bob Dylan reference him among their favourites – not only that, he has backstory that would make you want to get on board anyway. Maybe even if his own music wasn’t super-great, which it is and has been across the last quarter-century. His enviable […]
