Doctor Millar - Ruining Everything. It came out in 2022, but I somehow managed not to know it existed until I saw and bought it at his wonderful gig at the Irish Club in London in late November. It’s great, of course. | ||

Peter Perrett - The Cleansing. I bought it a few months ago when it came out, but this is my first time playing it. It’s great. My fear that having 20 songs on it would diminish the quality is, thankfully, not borne out. | ||

The Go-Betweens - 1978-1990. It had been so long since I last played it, I’d forgotten that Karen was recorded, not very well, from a crackly vinyl copy. Did they later find the original master, or did they just do a better job of ripping it with improved technology and maybe a cleaner copy of the record for future releases? Does anyone know? This may well have been covered here before, but I’ve forgotten the answer if it has. Still, it was a great pleasure to hear the album, especially as I have the Japanese double CD version which replicates the double vinyl. | ||

A few great artists have new albums out. The Delines and Oracle Sisters today and Nadia Reid last week. The best thing I’ve heard so far this year is the second album from Horsegirl. They’ve got all the right influences (Belle & Sebastian, The Pastels, Stereolab, Flying Nun). This song and the whole album reminds me of The Stroppies. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mC1v7Y7bIK s&pp=ygUVSG9yc2VnaXJsIHN3aXRjaCBvdmVy | ||

Various artists - A Tribute To Robbie Van Leeuwen. I don’t even remember buying this, but I must have picked it up in a bargain bin somewhere. It’s great. It’s less a tribute to Van Leeuwen than a best of his various bands, though. Of the 19 songs, there are only four where he isn’t playing guitar. | ||

Jack Frost - Jack Frost. I’ve never enjoyed this so much as I am right now. But I play it so rarely, I probably think that any time I play it. | ||

The Chills - Spring Board: The Early Unrecorded Songs. I’m on the second play. It’s superb. A worthy swan song. The only sadness is that we’ll never see them played live. |
