The Vinyl Countdown # 337
The Beatles, The Beatles Box (1980) Growing up, the music of The Beatles was all around – my dad had lost/got rid of some of his records but we had a decent smattering and some of the solo records from the post-break-up years too. A couple of compilations were added to the collection as we grew up […]Archive

DJ Setlist: San Fran presents Summer Sounds with Simon Sweetman, December 28, 2018
Most years between Christmas and New Year’s I do a wee DJ set at the San Fran, our way of letting the people know the bar’s open again in the lead up to Bill E’s New Year’s Eve extravaganza. It’s a low-key thing. Summer tunes. Usually “Kiwi BBQ” is the theme, this year I decided […]Archive

Head Like A Hole, 13 (1993) Last year Head Like A Hole decided to release their debut full-lengther and take it on tour – I missed the show, but didn’t miss getting the LP. I love the band – their best work still stands and they’re always a good live show. I’ve seen them a […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 377
Doc Watson, Doc Watson (1964) I’ve been really enjoying this lately – the debut, self-titled album by Doc Watson; one of those guys that is kinda bigger than music – just there always, deep inside the grooves, be it country, folk, blues, gospel. In the post-Oh Brother country music book he got a new wave […]Archive
