The Vinyl Countdown # 32

Todd Rundgren, Hermit of Mink Hollow (1978) It’s my first place when returning toTodd Rundgren. He’s never far from my mind (a genius, yes, yes, wizard and truly a star…) but if I haven’t listened to anything by him in a while then this is the one that pulls me straight back in. Because, I […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 179

Todd Rundgren, Todd (1974) I learned the hard way: Always check the sleeves when buying second-hand records. I picked up a copy of this only to find that record two was not “Todd” at all – it was some easy listening compilation. But record one is the real deal. So I have half of this […]

The Ghost of Electricity: War Stories by Jon McLeary # 191 Something/Anything?

I Saw The Light was the first song I heard and I remember it was at one of those new-fangled Jeans Stores that were cropping up in Hamilton when I was in high school. I was there with my girlfriend and we were having a crafty pash in a dressing booth and the song came […]

From The Archives: The Todd Rundgren Interview

A few years ago Todd Rundgren toured New Zealand with a ‘blues’ show. It wasn’t very good – but the two-song encore (I Saw The Light and Can We Still Be Friends) was worth the price of admission. I wish he’d tour here again, maybe with his solo piano show, with anything in fact… I […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1108

Todd Rundgren, Faithful (1976) I really only knew Todd Rundgren the producer, the guitarist – his was a name I had read, I had heard the music he had been involved with but hadn’t heard any of his own music. And then I was introduced to Something/Anything? and that was obviously a great place to […]
