So you’d grab four or five at a time, and sometimes I’d get four or five Miles Davis CDs in one go, live albums, compilations, […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 322
Joe Cocker, Double Cocker Power! (1972) I have a lot of Joe Cocker compilations – which kinda sits neatly alongside the fact that I saw Joe Cocker live in concert a lot. That was largely the occupational hazard of being a live gig reviewer in a time when Cocker would tour here a lot. But he was always enjoyable. I […]Archive

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
