RNZ Reviews: April 2018

Once a month or so I have a chat on RNZ on their Afternoons show with Jesse Mulligan. These things start – randomly and stop in much the same way. I hope to keep doing this. For a while at least. I think I started in December of 2015, so a couple of years into […]

Particle Kid: Everything Is Bullshit

Particle Kid Everything Is Bullshit Particle Kid/Gnar Tapes One of two Particle Kid albums ripped out in the same year, Everything Is Bullshit is a strange world of magic. It reminds me of One Foot In The Grave-era Beck, not so much for the sound as for the surprises. It’s as wilful as Neil Young […]

Paradox: Film

Paradox Director: Daryl Hannah Netflix One of the great paradoxes of our time – or all-time – is how Neil Young can make time seemingly stand still (in the best possible way) during his extended guitar workouts, yet give him a film-project and he makes time stand still in only the very worst way. Paradox […]

Neil Young + Promise of The Real: The Visitor

Neil Young + Promise of The Real The Visitor Reprise Neil Young’s 2010s output is going to rival his 1980s for being wilful, stubborn, stylistically diverse – and “non-representative”. The gap is widening between the truly great Neil Young albums too. But you think he gives a fuck? Or ever has for that matter? Right […]

Neil Young + Promise of the Real: The Monsanto Years

Neil Young + Promise of the Real The Monsanto Years Reprise Neil Young in full protest mode is always a bit daunting, there’s an element of his fan-base that calls, regularly, for a more, well, Shut Up ‘n Play Yer Guitar-approach. Fortunately, when he’s angry Young always plays his guitar a bit more. And though […]
