Playlist: Bob Dylan Aussie Tour 2018
Okay, so I created a playlist a few months back featuring the most-common Bob Dylan setlist from the start of his 2018 tour. But then he took a break. And the couple of months off has seen a few changes to the setlist. Gone are the Sinatra-era evergreens, in place a couple of kick ass songs […]Archive

Playlist: Here’s What Bob Dylan Will Probably Play in Auckland and Christchurch in August 2018
So, Bob Dylan is back in New Zealand in a couple of months – it’ll be my first time seeing him in over a decade, and I’m amped. Tickets to the gig purchased, flights booked, I’ve been reading a few Dylan books, I’ve revisited his Nobel Prize speech, I’m in deep with the catalogue working […]Archive

DJ Setlist: Andy’s 40th, Verandah Bar, Saturday, February 17, 2018
Down to Christchurch overnight for a good mate’s 40th – and was doing the DJing too… A lot of 1980s and 1990s things, bit all over the shop, trying to find the various sweet spots… Hmm, here it is:Archive

Playlist: Paul McCartney’s 1993 Set From Auckland
Well, the Paul McCartney concert is, er, Coming Up… I’m not going this time – I still have fond memories of seeing him in Auckland back on Saturday, March 27th in 1993. It was a great gig – one of my first big stadium shows, and one of the best gigs I’ve ever seen. A […]Archive

DJ Setlist: She-Bop 2 – The Best Tunes From The Best Women in Music, San Fran, Friday, July 28, 2017
The first She-Bop was earlier in the year and it was time to do it all again, same-same, but different – some of the same songs obviously, plenty of the same artists but lots of other things too, different things. It was a cold, cold night, but it was warm within. A nice gang came […]Archive

Playlist: A Good Night In
I played a bunch of records in a bar last week and decided, when I looked at the setlist that it would make for a good night in. Some people around, or on your own. Just a good bunch of songs; just perfect for a night in. So I made it up as a playlist.Archive

DJ Setlist: A Pixies Party, Meow, Friday, March 10, 2017
The idea was to put on an evening that offered some music to those that missed out on the Pixies gig and doubled as a sort of after-party. It wasn’t busy. It was not successful. But I did get to play a bunch of tunes I love – and I reckon I put together a […]Archive

I have been tidying up some of the boxes of ephemera that have followed me from the university hostel, to various flats and then on, a decade ago or so, to my first home. I have been finding all sorts of things – a mini-CD in the shape of a business card for the Wellington […]Archive
