Digests: Album Reviews from 2017’s Third Quarter

I am not writing as many album reviews as I used to – 2013, 2014, 2015 and even 2016 were all very big years for album-review writing for me. I wrote hundreds. Sometimes 40 or 50 a month. For many reasons I’m not doing anywhere near that now – I have a weekly podcast I’m […]

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – October

A busy month, October. Lots of posts. I got into a bit of theatre-reviewing, there were some conversation and blog-post type things – not just the straight reviews. We debuted a new special guest with Retro Record Reviews and still lots of record reviews too – including plenty of albums by big names in the […]

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – August

At the very start of August we were still away on our holiday – so when we returned it was all about hunkering down, and albums-wise I caught up with a few from earlier in the year (and even last year) as well as a few brand new things. Found lots to like of course […]

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – June

June was a busy month – I was away for a friend’s birthday, also the podcast turned one. I watched (and reviewed) a lot of DVDs and read quite a few books, the Jazz Festival rolled in (and then out) of town. And I thought I didn’t review many albums – but they piled up, […]

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – April

I spent most of April on a borrowed computer which, in this day and age, makes reviewing music quite tricky. So a lot of the album reviews this month were about me catching up with stuff from last year still – more so than other months. That said, I got to a few brand new […]

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – March

A very busy month in March – the Arts Festival meant a whole lot of gig reviewing, I posted more things up here at Off The Tracks than any other month recently – over 120 items, and loads of record reviews, but I also got back into DVD reviewing, book reviewing and posting up some […]

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – February

The back half of February was taken up with Prince excitement – and of course I made it to the show! And am just back from a busy time in Auckland collecting podcast interviewees and going to gigs, DJing at Golden Dawn, all sorts…but earlier in the month I got through a few albums. Actually […]

Digests: The Best of 2016’s Album Reviews – January

January was taken up – largely – with the death of David Bowie – but I did manage to review some new albums (including Bowie’s final musical statement). I also caught up with a few releases from December (and earlier in 2015). Looking back I did okay actually, given it was also holiday season. A […]

Digests: The Best of 2015’s Album Reviews – December

Well, end of the year, and I scrambled to add a few more really great albums down into the file – even going back to earlier in the year to mention albums I’d forgotten to write up. I figured though that there were not a lot of reviews in December as other things came up […]

Digests: The Best of 2015’s Album Reviews – September

A quiet month here in September, a few hosting issues didn’t help – but we’ve moved on, literally. A new host, and so far much better, faster… But I didn’t review a lot of albums in September. Still, lots of posts all up, plenty to look through so some of the gems might have got […]

Digests: The Best of 2015’s Album Reviews – August

A busy month, August. For almost everything else other than Album Reviewing. Plenty of new poems and a lot of book reviews on the site. A new podcast episode, the continuation of a new guest blog, it was also Film Festival time. And I squeezed in a wee holiday. Also – when it did come […]

Digests: The Best of 2015’s Album Reviews – June

A lot of interesting music in June – and I got through as much of it as I could; pretty pleased with this selection of album-review highlights for a) its breath (lots of Kiwi stuff, spoken word – more than one album too, rock, jazz, dance, pop, classical, EPs, free Bandcamp releases….a veritable all-sorts stash) […]
