The Vinyl Countdown # 217

The Rolling Stones, Flowers (1967) I almost never feel like listening to The Rolling Stones these days – possibly because I’ve heard it all and heard it all for too long and too often. They were a band I really cared about for the longest time, but now it’s very rare I can make it […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 561

V/A, Happy To Be Part of The Industry of Human Happiness (1969) Today is Record Store Day. I go to record stores for many reasons – but obviously to buy records. And to find things like this…things I never knew existed, or that I needed, or wanted, until I find them…Here’s a late-60s compilation of […]

Rod Stewart: The Magic Years

I’ve been listening to a lot of Rod Stewart lately. And by that I mean The (first) Jeff Beck Group, Faces and Rod’s solo albums. Depending on where you are at with Rod Stewart you walked out after Smiler (or because of it) or A Night On The Town or Blondes Have More Fun – […]

R.I.P. Ian McLagan

It’s being reported that Ian McLagan has died, suffering a stroke in hospital. He was 69. Earlier this year McLagan released a lucklustre new album – but that’s not his legacy, and nor should it really dent it. As a member of the Small Faces and The Faces, as someone who toured and recorded with […]

Ian McLagan & The Bump Band: United States

Ian McLagan & The Bump Band United States Yep Roc/Southbound Ian McLagan – rock legend? Sure. Small Faces, countless sessions with so many of the greats, plenty of good yarns too. And then there’s the label – Yep Roc – so many strong releases in the wider country/alt-country/rootsy-rock territory. And here’s Ian with his group […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1505

The Style Council, Our Favourite Shop (1985) I really do think  Paul Weller is pretty fuckall in the scheme of things. I quite like The Jam but it’s all a bit classless-Kinks and Small Faces without the sophistication. Weller is nothing that special as a songwriter. Not anymore. And his albums that roll out now every couple of years – […]
