Playlist: There’s Worse People

Time for another playlist. I made this one last night – it’s called “There’s Worse People” because that line came out during the day and I want to remember it for a song or a poem or…something, so I title this playlist There’s Worse People. If you’d like to read into the contents of the […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 523

Massive Attack, Mezzanine (1998) I remember seeing the video for Teardrop – and stopping in my tracks.

HÆLOS: Full Circle

HÆLOS Full Circle Matador Get ready to be told, elsewhere that HÆLOS sound like the xx, when, if they even do, it’s the xx of the awful and dreary lightning-does-strike-once second-album, not that lush debut. Actually, HÆLOS – awful  font and stylised lettering and all – sounds like a throwback to 90s trip-hop – there […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1518

Tricky, Maxinquaye (1995) It was $50. And so I left it in the shop for a week to consider it. I figured that if it was gone when I went back it was not to be. If it was still there I’d think about it. But that’s bullshit – if it was gone I woulda […]
