Stop Making Sense

1984

One of the best concert films ever. Pure unadulterated fun. You even get to see Davids big suit! BONUS: David dances with a floor lamp!

Pablo Picasso by Modern Lovers


The greatest song in the history of popular music.

How come only a handfull of people know about Modern Lovers? Light years ahead of their time, modern Lovers were doing punk in 1972, sorry Ramones! They did it first.

David Robinson later joined The Cars and Jerry Harrison moved on to Talking Heads.

The Young Persons Guide To King Crimson

1987

An extremely nice Crimson compilation. Spinning the original 1987 Editions EG vinyl. Sounds as great as it did when new. Dont take your records to parties and never lend them out! Be a butt!


Yes the Technics turntable is vintage (with a new stylus of course)!

Talking Heads: Remain In Light


1980

Spinning Rhino Records 180g vinyl release. This version made in Germany.

This is one of the greatest albums of all time and with it's release in 1980 it was the shape of things to come. A decade of outstanding music would follow. Jon Hassell even appears on Houses In Motion. If you've never sat quietly and really listened to it, you should!

Don't even mention it!

Whats On Now


Conflicting Emotions by Split Enz
1984

Spinning my 1983 original vinyl Australian release. Mushroom records ENZ 5 with bonus 12 inch single.

An excellent late Enz album. If Time and Tide gets 5 stars I'd rate this at 4.

Whats On Now

The Occurrence of Slope
Steve Jansen
Live in Tokyo 29.02.08.

Live performance of (in my opinion) one of the greatest albums of any genre of music! Thats saying quite a lot because my tastes span rhe genre spectrum. An astounding collection of vocals and instrumentals performed in an audio visual epic. This is how live performances should be. All else leaves me cold.

Listen to December Train. Trans Europa Express brought into the 21st century!

This is NOT pop music.
Difficult to come by. Get it if you can.






Whats On Now


Mummrr by XTC
1983

Spinning my original promo copy from 83. Still clean and crisp after 39 years. Amazing! A great album although not my favorite by XTC. Beating Of Hearts is classic XTC musically and lyrically. And Human Alchemy sees the band in top form with Terry Chambers drumming a beat like no other. The slave trade was/is one of the greatest blights on mankind. My favorite track on the album!
