Better Off Read Podcast: Episode 78 – Sound Series 6; Carl Shuker and Simon Sweetman

One of my favourite podcasts to check in on is Pip Adam’s Better Off Read. I was a guest on it way back in 2016, episode 29. Pip returned the favour and was on my podcast a while back. The Better Off Read podcast has continued across the last few years. But recently Pip has started a “Sound […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 143

Schnell Fenster, The Sound of Trees (1988) Do you own more than one copy of any album in your collection? I got rid of most of my double-ups recently. Didn’t feel the need to keep more than one copy of any album in my collection – apart from the first Schnell Fenster record. I now […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 291 

The Swingers, It Ain’t What You Dance, It’s The Way You Dance It [Single] (1981) I remember it being such a revelation to find out that the Swingers did more than just Counting The Beat. By which I mean simply that I was young when that was a hit – I loved that song, and still do – but it was about finding the […]

Phil Judd: Flightless Bird

Phil Judd  Flightless Bird  (Independent/Bandcamp)  For the last decade and a half Phil Judd’s musical voice has been sneaking out into the world via a handful of idiosyncratic solo releases – you know that voice, instantly. And vocally there’s still every power in it, reminders of all that was always great. There are musical motifs – and the […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 354

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Welcome to episode 61 of Sweetman Podcast with support from our sponsors – T Leaf T, L’affare and Yeastie Boys. This one is a conversation with Phil Judd. Founding member of Split Enz, creator of the mighty Mental Notes album, and its wonderful cover image too, Judd should need no introduction. But I’ve given him […]
