Charlotte’s been giving this some deserved air-time on KiwiFM. Reel by Amelia Murray aka Fazerdaze. Free download also. Another younsgter in a bedroom, rumour has it.

If I was a picker of such things, I’d say Fazerdaze is destined for greatness. Second time you listen to that track, you’ll be…

I wonder how much of the attention Janine & the Mixtape is getting over there is down to the Lorde effect. Am imagining the music industry Eye of Sauron turning to Middle Earth to find moody female musicians..

I reckon it’s helped at places like Billboard, and to get it on…

As for the almighty Sun Ra, I highly recommend John Swzed’s magisterial biography Space Is The Place, a truly cracking read whether you like Ra’s music or not.

An amazing book.

To add to that too, a primary reason those were uploaded to Pinterest was that non-Aucklanders would have the opportunity to see the covers now on the walls of the Tyler Street Garage.

I’m now curious about why this was done. It doesn’t seem to be “so people can buy them”, and “so people will hear them” is limited to Spotify listeners who either use random play or whatever “recommend stuff” options spotify uses and it happens to suggest these ones

survivors wouldn't we able to access a lot of early 21st century information

What's often forgotten is just how little material survives in any form. Sure, we have some of many types of records, but the other 99% or more has been lost. There are very few cases where we…

You have to maintain a digital archive, as in having more than one copy on a hard disk or other online medium and validating constantly that those copies are still readable. When (not if) they fail, you replace / upgrade the broken hard disk and carry on.

Regarding Vehicle, us Dunedinites were pretty lucky when it came out in 1990, David Kilogur's actual original artwork was put in the window of Echo Records on George St and very nice it looked, too.

There is no single "buy now" nor single point of entry to find them all in one place as its a huge number of albums from a equally large number of different companies

That's kind of useless, then. "some music you might like is available"... yeah, I knew that.

Spotify has the bulk of the 200+ albums that have been digitalised, so far, to stream for free – you do have to find them yourself via the search function

iTunes, amplifier.co.nz and other digital retailers have them too – there you do have to purchase

There is no single…

ok, I'm sure I'm just being dense here, but is there some way to actually buy a copy of the 'Tied to the Tracks' material, or do I have to sign up to some streaming service and pay per listen? Either way, direct links would be nice. Unless we're just…

But top of the list is my favourite New Zealand album cover ever:

Some fascinating musical and cultural insights on Pininterest. For example, The Keils – which reminded me of the (brief) German heritage associated with Samoa; – and who remembers Tasman Empire Airways Limited, 'product placement' a la 60's…
