Open-minded inclusive Kiwi, record collecting partner of Helen, father, space nerd. Fashionably (?) stuck in 1985.
That’s a very specific warning

( it’s a grounding cable for my stereo ! )

Couldn’t afford Beatles Anthology in the 1990’s

I’m one grateful Beatles fan to see these remasters on the shelf again - Anthology 4 is a pleasing xtra

I went for the convenience of the 8 CD box set, a lovely package, sounding fresh and sparkly

Men Without Hats ep

Exactly what you never knew you needed !

Sounding more Devo than ever

The Bats return

Album number 11

Mighty fine jangly guitar pop from the OG Dunedin sound maestros

Used to sneak into bars in the 1980’s to hear them 😎

Is Moxibustion a new term for a giant Spliff?

Sons leaving home today

All his 22 years of collecting has been boxed up

Seems his dad’s record hoarding tendencies have been passed down - dead bugs and movies are his thing

New framed Bowie in my entrance

This is the 12 by 12 print that came with the No Plan ep

Fully in the moment until he wasn’t

Exit the lift on ground floor and confronted by this tragedy.

Bonkers album in the crap fest of modern compressed over produced slop being pushed by algorithms.

Just what I needed. Thanks Ash.

Big guitars, hooky choruses, synths and boom boom drums. Could be a weezer album.

Apartment living means :

Love how half of Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me is melodic pop and half is dark AF

Then buried at track 9 is Just Like Heaven

Never bought the album in 1987, teenage me didn’t warm to the cover art lips and Kiss title, muppet

Taken 4 plays. Getting into it now.

A punchy slice of post punk from Suede.

Antidepressants- give it a try, louder is better.

7” Heavenly Pop Hit

The Chills commercial high water mark

Expertly crafted pop from song writing genius the late Martin Phillipps

Lucky to find this excellent 1990 original

Watched the Spud Boy’s documentary on Netflix last night

Recommended - a pack of wonderful weirdos we were lucky to have

In this time, at this moment we are all Devo
