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…
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,…
So I have lots of emails coming in saying ‘Coke Bottle Vinyl’ as a special version of a record being released, I have heard it occasionally but not paid attention that much as there are so many variations, red, blue, splatter, gold, limited Silver, Orange and Coke Bottle? And im quite partial to good old…
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…
Flew on the Friday, back on the Sunday, about 40000+ steps completed as we walked everywhere aside from a couple of necessary Ubers. We were not there for music, (sadly) to watch or buy, but that didn’t stop a couple of passing purchases including a great salt lamp to sit near the turntable that I…
The lowdown: important information or facts about something, this something I have wanted since 1995. Burned by Electrafixion on Vinyl! Electrafixion were an alternative rock band, formed by former Echo & the Bunnymen members Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant in 1994, joined by bass guitarist Leon de Sylva and drummer Tony McGuigan. They released one album, Burned, and four singles and EPs before splitting up in 1996, due to…
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…
Some vinyl/music collectors have this issue, I am one of them. I did not have this issue growing up as it just worked in my head, especially as I started buying CDs far as they were the next big thing and could be played in the car. They were easier on a shelf to track…
