RNZ Reviews: May 2018
Once a month or so I have a chat on RNZ on their Afternoons show with Jesse Mulligan. These things start – randomly and stop in much the same way. I hope to keep doing this. For a while at least. I think I started in December of 2015, so a couple of years into […]Archive

Digests: Album Reviews from 2017’s Final Quarter
I am not writing as many album reviews as I used to – 2013, 2014, 2015 and even 2016 were all very big years for album-review writing for me. I wrote hundreds. Sometimes 40 or 50 a month. For many reasons I’m not doing anywhere near that now – I have a weekly podcast I’m […]Archive

How Do You Find Music? How Does Music Find You? How Has That Changed?
Do you ever stop to consider the changes that have been made to the way you find music? Is your approach still the same? Surely it’s changed, you’ve changed formats, the formats have changed – in terms of delivery approach, in terms of regularity, in terms of how and when you receive them – as […]Archive

The 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die Challenge: You Gotta Have Goals…Or Else You End Up With This As Your Goal
I’ve had this book for a while – I have the 2005 version, it’s been updated I gather. I don’t know that it’s really any sort of resource, but it is the sort of book that someone like me owns. I haven’t ever read it right through, and I haven’t really ever had a plan […]Archive

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – November
Strange month, November. That election didn’t help things – and we lost Leonard Cohen! And more besides (Leon Russell, Sharon Jones…) I didn’t write a lot of album reviews. I did share a lot of other things though – new essays and blog-posts, think-pieces, album reviews of classic old albums…a bit of theatre reviewing too. […]Archive

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – September
Back in Wellington for the whole month after a couple of months of being in a few different places and on holiday and so on. Very much a head-down/bum-up sort of a month but most of the energy went to the podcast. That said I still found time to get in a few reviews, book […]Archive
