Last time I went to Laneway was 12 years ago. A lot has changed, including me and my dislike of festivals. But you sometimes gotta go where the music is otherwise you miss out in our little town.

Charlie puts on a SHOW with a very minimal set up which is impressive and clever. I admire that. Everyone was having a good time including the x2 thrupples I was wedged next to. You probably could of heard the crowd from the other side of town. The energy was next level. Can't remeber the last time I experienced that to be honest.

Some other mentions - Remi Wolfe was fun, Joey Valance and Brae looked like they'd stepped out of a new metal band to do beastie boys (great vibes), and a good saxophone solo during clario which made the toilet line bearable. There were some other things I would of liked to see but didn't happen.

Picked this up from the paradise loft record fair couple of years ago. It's well worn and crunchy but I don't mind cos it was $10. Ends with a Giorgio Moroder sounding track which kinda comes out of leftfield. I love the album art by Greg Porto who I realised when looking him up designed the album covers for Grace Jones. Cool!

This record is perfect for a Saturday morning and coffee.

On the back cover there is a written piece, like a letter by Malachi Thompson to the listener. He describes what this album means to him and on each track title describes what influenced them and celebrates his collaborators. He dedicates this album to his grandfather. Love stuff like that.

"Do away with labels and category, face the music for what it is. My concept is one that is alive and growing".

Crazy this album was only represed in 2022.

It's nice when you spot mates records in the wild!

This album combines unique field recordings Tristan has creatively captured and rhythms of swirling sound. When we played it at home it surprisingly really chilled out our cats.

So good for you, and also, good for cats is a win. ✌️

Not usually a fan of live albums but this one is an exception.

I love this album. It's one of my favourite Talking Heads albums.

Purchased for $12 at Porthole records when I was around 17 or 18. I always sing A Clean Break (Let's Work) really loud. Soz neighbours.

I'm currently teaching myself to play bass (again, sorry neighbours). I am definitely no Tina Weymouth. Give me 6 months and I might be able to crack a Talking Heads track...

I've been thinking about spinning this album on the weekend since I watched the Doechii performance at the Grammys this week. It was iconic. As iconic as the Kendrick performance when he won. I'm not a big Grammys fan. But those two performances stick in my mind.

The album that inspired Bowie's Black Star. This was so ahead of its time. I listen now and it doesn't sound 10 years old.

We saw Kendrick on his Damn tour in 2018. His ability to hold the audience at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, at points with just him alone on stage, was phenomenal.

I hate loading and unloading the dishwasher. Such a dreary task. You know what else is dreary. This album. Which I thought might be good to spin at the same time.

I'm a long term Pulp fan. This album is produced by Scott Walker who I also like.

Bought this secondhand from the basement of Bigstar back in the day. I didn't have access to good internet at home so was hard to try before you buy.

This album received really great reviews.
I thought some time would allow me to appreciate perhaps what my younger ears may of missed. Clearly not.

What am I missing Pulp and Scott fans?

First mix for 2025. I use to make a bunch on Spotify but we ditched spotify awhile ago. If you've ever thought of making the switch, nows the time. IMHO Tidal is way better anway.

RIP Marianne Faithfull.

Picked this up as a teenager from the Animal Welfare League Op Shop in my home town for $2.

Her come back 2004 collaboration album was such a quiet hit at the time but still holds up now.

It's the year 2000. I'm 16 and I'm helping my boyfriend at the time set up his local art exhibition in our shitty suburban town. We listened to frontier psychiatrist on repeat. The Avalanches blew my mind. When I hear them now I think of hot Australian summers listening to Triple J.

I have not played this album for many years. But I was watching the Jamie xx guest spot with Derrick Gee (very good, do recommend) and he was talking about his love for The Avalanches at age 11 and its them that inspired him to dj and they exchange tunes now which I thought was really lovely.

I've been thinking about this album for several weeks since watching that. It's a scorchio 38 degrees today and decided to throw it on. David was lucky enough to see them early on at Big Day Out at the time wearing op shop suits in boiling Australian heat on the main stage. I have seen them live but it was much later.

This album is hitting its 25 year anniversary this year and it still sounds fresh now as it did then.

A novelty one today. Yamaha Sessions 3 from 1981. A promo record released by Yamaha Stuidos Japan to demonstrate the Yamaha GS-1 synthesizer. Featuring keyboardist Keiko Doi from the all female synthesizer trio Cosmos, some funky bass lines, cool drum breaks, pretty amazing 80s session photos on the cover, and adorable liner notes its a fun bargin bin pick up.

Today's selection is 80s post punk outfit Rip Rig + Panic. A surprise find from yesterday. Featuring members of the pop group, Neneh Cherry, and some guest spots from Ari Up and Don Cherry. This post-punk and jazz album is not only a powerhouse of talent but sounds fresh and ahead of its time.

Today we dig deep into the sounds of Japanese Wamono - Japanese jazz, funk, soul, rare groove, and disco. Each volume has a slightly different sound. The first one, like most comps, is probably my favourite. The third one is for the city pop lovers and contains Kimono, which I put on many playlists. Plus, that album cover is stunning in pink. 🩷✌️🇯🇵

Finally picked up a copy of this fab comp yesterday (Merry Christmas to me & thank you @clarityrecordsadelaide ). Was the perfect Sunday morning soundtrack. As a music lover, I struggled for years understanding reggae and dub thinking something was wrong with me cos I didn't get it and figured it wasn't for me. Then something just clicked in my brain, and 2024 was the year (much to David's delight)! Reminder: You're never too old to discover or learn new things. 👯‍♀️ ☕️
