I have almost certainly mentioned my love for Death and Vanilla so I won’t go on about it again now. I just wanted to quickly mention a 7″ single that arrived the other day. I really like the graphic design of their covers and I’m also a sucker for coloured vinyl, so I had to … Continue reading “Death and Vanilla – From Above 45”
I pre-ordered this album from Bandcamp and it arrived today, as far as I can tell it is already sold out and is for sale for £50 on Discogs. I ordered it a while ago and I think it was £16.99. It’s the soundtrack for Roman Polanski’s ‘film ‘The Tennant’ which was originally scored by … Continue reading “Death & Vanilla – The Tennant”
I’ve written about Death and Vanilla before, when I picked up the soundtrack to Vampyr, and I’ve played them on the Radio Show, but I was listening to them again tonight and felt that I should say more, mostly because I bloody well love them.

As in previous years I have to have listened to them. Im sure there are a load of great albums out there that I … Continue reading “Best Albums of 2018”
A few weeks ago I signed up for another vinyl subscription service, you may recall the others: That Special Record: Really liked it but they stopped The Retro Store: Crap Vinyl Moon: Good but too expensive for a non US customer. This time I’ve gone with Rough Trade, a brand I know. The first record arrived … Continue reading “The Shacks – Haze”
It is that time of year again where everybody does their albums of the year, even though the year isn’t over yet. Do any of these list makers include December 2016 releases in their year, or maybe they discount it as it is filled with Christmas releases. So here are the 30 albums that I … Continue reading “Albums of the year – 2017”
I am a huge lover of Sigur Rós and have been since the moment I first heard them. They are one of those bands that never seem to be able to do anything wrong, for me at least. I don’t want every album to be the same as the last one and I like how … Continue reading “What’s In The Bag? (73)”
