The Vinyl Countdown # 105
Split Enz, Waiata (1981) I like this album – it’s always been one of my go-to Split Enz records – obviously the big hit, the shining gem of a single is One Step Ahead (and I have the 45 of that) but this was my second favourite from the ‘silver’ box-set of CDs (when I […]Archive

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 […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 314
Split Enz, Frenzy (1979) I’m so into the Split Enz catalogue – the need to collect it all, that some of the albums I have several copies of, others I’m still hoping to collect – I won’t go about trying to get all the different pressings/editions – I’m not like that – but I don’t mind buying another copy […]Archive

Five Songs For Friday: 27 – The Return of ‘Five Songs For Friday’
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these – far too long. Blame work commitments. I’ve been worried about getting a podcast up some part of Thursday or Friday and then work – the pesky day-job kind – has been on the horizon, looming, with early starts every Saturday for most of the last year. […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 325
Split Enz, Conflicting Emotions (1983) Tim was on the way out – and keen to be a solo star – Neil was on the way up, about to become the band-leader, a role he’s basically held with regard to whatever he does ever since. So this, the second to last studio album by Split Enz is well named; an indication of the moods and […]Archive
