The Vinyl Countdown # 341
Schnell-Fenster, Whisper [Single] (1988) I have a very close relationship to this single – not just because I love Schnell-Fenster and of course the album this comes from. But I keep buying and selling this single. I would collect a few 45s, then decide I don’t really want to have singles – so I’d sell up a bunch. Then […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 342
V/A, Rikky and Pete [OST] (1988) I was chuffed to find this – something I knew about for a while…it’s the soundtrack to a film of the same name (obviously). Have yet to see the film, just this trailer. But I’ll hunt it out. The songs here (mostly) come from Phil Judd, many under the […]Archive

Schnell Fenster, Ok Alright A Huh Oh Yeah [Single] (1990) You know you’re in deep with a band when you have multiple copies, when you’re collecting across formats…I didn’t think I was one of those people…and I’m still not sure I am…but I guess I am with Schnell Fenster – I’ve just put a copy […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 366
Schnell-Fenster, Love Hate Relationship [Single] (1988) I’m collecting up the Schnell-Fenster singles now; had a couple earlier on and sold them – got them again now. And picking up others. Just an incredible band. And it felt like such a secret to me – back when I discovered this group, and the connections leading to […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 372
Schnell Fenster, Ok Alright A Huh Oh Yeah [Single] (1990) I loved Schnell Fenster. I love Schnell Fenster still. But discovering them, finding out all about this band – not just Phil Judd but other ex-Split Enz members too – it was just a whole new world, my mind was blown. I was about 10 […]Archive

Phil Judd: UniQue
Phil Judd UniQue (Independent/philjudd.com) Buried deep down toward the end of Phil Judd’s new album are three of his finest songs. I say that knowing full well that he is the writing genius behind Late Last Night, Sweet Dreams, Counting The Beat and dozens of other songs. Phil Judd soundtracked a big part of my […]Archive

The Phil Judd Interview: From The Archives
This time last week I spent about 100 minutes on the phone with Phil Judd. The longest interview I have ever done. And it was probably the longest time coming, in the sense that I first thought I would like to interview Judd in the early 1990s. I loved (and still love) the two albums […]Archive

FFS: FFS
FFS FFS Domino Records Another month, another quirky-line-up “Supergroup” – but hang on, this one works. It really, really works. Combining members of Franz Ferdinand and Sparks (geddit? – FFS!) the pair of existing bands work well together because, well, Sparks is a brilliant group. But lurks around the fringes. And Franz Ferdinand…whatever they had, […]Archive

Phil Judd: Play It Strange
Phil Judd Play It Strange Ode Here’s a brand new album by Phil Judd. I already previewed this album – I was emotional on first listen. I’d heard about the making of this album, directly from the album’s creator, when it was still very much myth. Now it’s here. It exists. And you could bash […]Archive
