The 2005 Grammy nominated Ry Cooder album Chávez Ravine tells the story a Mexican-American community demolished in the 1950s for public housing, although they were never built, instead the Brooklyn Dodgers built a stadium on the site. An ambitious LP. |

The Lambchop album Nixon was released 20 years ago today! A critic and music press favourite. Allmusic said “a concept album about the disgraced 37th president of the United States”, and “music constructed on a grand scale that’s richly satisfying.” |

I was introduced to the English hard rock band Stray on an Ameoba Records episode of What’s in my Bag? Their 1970 debut eponymous LP is packed full of hook-laden melodic hard rock. I loved every minute. At one point they were managed by Charlie Kray, you might know his brothers! |

The album Conscience by The Beloved is 25 years old today! The dreamy electronic band’s 3rd album included their biggest hit Sweet Harmony, as well as You’ve Got Me Thinking, Let the Music Take You and the hypnotic Dream On. Love The Beloved. |
