V/A: Bobby Gillespie presents Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down

Various Artists: Bobby Gillespie Presents Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down Ace Records/Border I’m a sucker for a great artist-driven compilation/mix-tape. They’ll tell you that you can do it yourself via Spotify or almost any other platform. And you can. But the best mixtapes are the ones your friends make you – because you get to see […]

Ryley Walker: All Kinds of You

Ryley Walker All Kinds of You Tompkins Square Take a look at that cover for starters – you could believe this was some LightInTheAttic reissue, some long lost/forgotten record, a thrift-store find touched up and newly pressed on CD, liner notes to tell you that this is the real life story of another Dave Van […]

Greetings From Tim Buckley: DVD

Greetings From Tim Buckley Director: Daniel Algrant Archer Gray Fawning, ponderous, pretentious and ultimately dull. I could be describing your average Jeff Buckley song, or fan – or indeed Jeff Buckley himself. But in this case it’s meant as both criticism and compliment for one of the most boring films you could ever wish on […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1381

Tim Buckley, Greetings From L.A. (1972) I always preferred Tim Buckley to Jeff Buckley. But now I’m not so sure. This is his seventh album and it was the one I heard first. I got really into Tim Buckley after hearing this – not so much because of this album, but I just kept collecting […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1590

Radiohead, Radiohead…Before Computers (1999) Remember when Radiohead was almost a shoegazer band? This bootleg compilation does! It’s of more interest to me now than listening to the Itch EP or Pablo Honey (nothing wrong with them – just done to death for me). This takes tracks from the band’s very early “On A Friday” demo […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1918

Paul Ubana Jones, Paul Ubana Jones (1988) I have all the Paul Ubana Jones albums – but I’m very pleased to have the self-titled debut on vinyl also; signed to me by Paul. I first saw Paul play when he had released Blessings And Burdens and I worked back through his catalogue from there. I’ve […]
