No.1477 22/09/2020

The first full-length LP in over 10 years by the Doves called The Universal Want was described by Uncut magazine as “complex as a Rubik’s cube.” In my mind the LP revisits past glories, themes and techniques. A triumphant return.

The self-titled 1969 album by The Band is 50 years old today! The Brown Album as it’s sometimes known includes some of their best-known tracks including The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down and Up on Cripple Creek. Classic…

The Goo Goo Dolls album Dizzy Up The Girl is 20 years old today! The LP includes the band’s well known song Iris. I remember performing Iris on my 12-string at Sydney Airport to group of American cheerleaders following the Olympics in 2000. Happy days! googoodolls.com

The Bjork album Homogenic is 20 years old today. After retreating from the work that found success, Homogenic was strings, drums and Icelandic goodness. bjork.com

revolverNo.7. 22/09/2016

The Beatles 1966 album Revolver is a master class in song-writing despite featuring the Yellow Submarine (chortle!). In my mind their 3rd best album! thebeatles.com

The latest Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album Skeleton Tree is macabre and morose, but for good reason, following the death of his teenage son. A haunting masterpiece! nickcave.com
