Wasn’t hard to get was just busy so had to wait for the man in his van to drop it round. I’ve been heavily streaming it already. Kneecap, Fine Art is a must have. Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí have built up a notoriety for themselves which hasn’t been seen in Irish music…
If you want to find music that keeps on giving, then any album by Fink is for you. My introduction was the album ‘Hard Believer’ back in 2014 and I still think that every time I go back to it I find something a little more, a sound, a nuance, a something. The new album…
33 years ago today, 27 May 1991, Electronic released their debut album, I have said on here before that for me, it was the perfect record at the perfect time. I was a long time fan of The Smiths and a big a fan of New Order so musically a match made in heaven. Add…
Like many out there I can’t help scanning ‘Discogs’ for my ‘Wishlist’ of records. I don’t share the list as it’s ever changing and to be honest more of a mental list. This week I bought for the ‘list’ and a record not on it as such, an opportunist purchase. Not from Discogs, I got…
Took a somewhat unexpected trip to Bristol today, never a bad thing. So how do you make the most of a trip like that? Buy records of course! I wasn’t on my own so just visited a couple of shops that happened to be on the route we were walking. I was passing Astro Vinyl,…
Ok, this vinyl is not that hard to track down but a 1991 vinyl release is still 33 years of wear and tear you hope is not visible to your eyes and ears when you click buy. This time its ‘Congratulations’ by Jefferson Airhead, later to become Airhead, the previous name chosen as a parody…
Couple of hours free on a Saturday afternoon and large eclectic collection of records, what to play? 1st – Radiohead – Ok Computer You cant go wrong with such an iconic gamechanger of an album, generally an album I begin with and then decide where to go next. 2nd – Fink – Perfect Darkness Always…
The new album from Liam Gallagher and John Squire. I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I want to like it! I…
There are far more professional and well crafted reviews out there by well practiced journalists than this but I just want to say this album is lit, it’s boss, it’s a belter! ‘All change’ was released in 1995 and to date myself it was the year I went to University, it was released just 14…
