My fav this week 

Wonderful album. Iron & Wines best by a long way imho. I haven't heard the vinyl though, I've got the CD which is excellent. I imagine the vinyl is also excellent.

This is just brilliant - so direct and such a stunning pressing which shows you do not always have to have a AP or Mofi LP to sound amazing.

I think that is so true.

After watching the recent edition of The Daily Doug where he interviewed Rachel Flowers, and played a song from this album, I have become enamored with her latest album, Bigger On the Inside. She is amazing, so much talent it's scary.

Hi All,

 

Been away for about 20 weeks, back on Wednesday and had some domestic jobs to catch up on and first spin of a group of albums ordered before going touring, and collected by a good neighbour, first spin since mid June, Coheed and Cambria ~VAXIS II (A Window Of The Waking Mind), so it has to be my album of the week / month / quarter

This weeks entry was played at the beginning of the week and hasn't been topped. Opens and closes with 2 versions of 'You Better Run' from Iggy & The Stooges and The Heartless Bastards do a bewitching performance of 'Done Got Old'. Still getting goosebumps just by mentioning it.

Dud free and groovy. 

 

Sunday Nights: The Songs Of Junior Kimbrough (2006)

Enjoy your weekend people.

 

 

[ZEN MISTER]

One of N.Z. finest, currently on tour in the U.S. If you are not familiar, a cross between REM circa ‘Fables of the Reconstruction ‘ and vintage SQUEEZE. Released in 1990, sounds better than ever.

Hannah Siglin -Seeds.Nice natural recording.

[onthebeach]

Bill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall. 

Brilliant double album from 1972 concert. 

Absolutely cracking versions of Lean on Me & I Hope She'll be Happier. Holds a note on that latter song that blows me away every time I hear it. What a voice!!

Very funky band too. 

[zenikoy]

Repeatedly listening to The Beth's "Expert in a Dying Field". Great straight ahead up tempo indie rock. Makes me think of Taylor Swift fronting a power pop band, sporting a kiwi accent. Highly Recommended.

 

The "expert" in the video turns out to be tech working on an old amplifier

Hi All,

 

The Fixx ~ Reach The Beach.    Early 80's rock, catchy tunes and lyrics, just easy to listen to.

 

[April Snow]

I only got this today and already played it three times
