Sonic Youth: In/Out/In

Sonic Youth In/Out/In Three Lobed Recordings I sometimes get sad thinking there’ll be no more music by Sonic Youth. But then I remember all of the great music the band made across 40 years – lasting longer than anyone with the name ‘Sonic Youth’ might ever hope and straddling the mainstream and the weirder/artier side, […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 268   

Michael McDonald, That Was Then – The Early Recordings of Michael McDonald (1982) I guess the thing that made me want this was the thought of hearing Michael McDonald tackling Midnight Rider – and it’s okay, but it isn’t as amazing as I thought it might be.

Neil Young: Hitchhiker

Neil Young Hitchhiker Reprise There he was, 41 years ago, the “lonely visitor”, campaigning a few more songs…he took breaks for weed, booze and blow, apart from that there was just him, Neil Young, and his best producer, David Briggs.

The Ghost of Electricity: War Stories by Jon McLeary # 148 The Album

We have been recording it in our downtime since late last year and it is something I’ve been wanting to do or a long while. Back in the eighties we recorded in some wonderful studios – EMI, Marmalade, Last Laugh, Writhe but there were nearly always time and budget constraints. Our album The Moon was […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1359

Neil Young, Time Fades Away (1973) I knew all about Time Fades Away but hadn’t ever heard it. I mean you just don’t easily find these sorts of things. And it’s not been reissued so your best bet was to walk into the second-hand shop and hope they had it. And that’s exactly what I […]
