The Vinyl Countdown # 48
Bruce Springsteen, Nebraska (1982) I’ve been about as uninterested in Bruce Springsteen as can be lately – not regretting the years I was a fan or anything like that but just so wound up about it. He’s really a gurning clown. This has been on my mind a bit over the last couple of years […]Archive

Poem: Another Year Older And Deeper In Debt (16th Tons)
I bought some records in a store that’s been around forever but was new to me – or at least it had been years since I had visited it; years upon years. The guy behind the counter was friendly and we chatted about a few different bands and the sorts of records I wanted to […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 174
Sir Yehudi Menuhin & Stephane Grappelli, Top Hat (1981) I often talk about – and think about – the Stephane Grappelli concert I was lucky to see back in the late 1990s. One of the very best gigs of my lifetime. And it all started when my mum introduced me to Stephane Grappelli and Yehudin […]Archive

DJ Setlist: San Fran, Summer Sounds on the Balcony, Saturday, December 28, 2019
I was back at the San Fran for my annual summer BBQ/balcony session – a chance to fill the crates with all sorts and see what happens. Start slow and drifty, maybe get a dancefloor, maybe play some emo-singers and power-ballads, 80s cheese and 90s hip-hop sleaze…anything goes. So here’s what went:Archive

Playlist: DJ Set from the Spines Dreamboat Launch
Last Saturday, November 23, I played some records at the San Fran as part of the Spines’ Dreamboat album launch. One of the very few times I’ve played any records out in public this year actually. And it was a lot of fun. A great night. And based on the setlist from that night I’ve pulled together […]Archive
