for the love of Helen, I have nothing but pity if you can't feel the epic yacht rockiness of LRB's Night Owl…I mean come on, feel the width.

Please not 'All out of Love'. For chrissakes, I beg of you, Alan, anything but that.

This isn't, incidently, some kind of Brer Rabbit: "Oh please, Brer Fox, whatever you do, please don't throw me into the briar patch" kind of subterfuge. The song really does make me nauseous. I…

One of my dubious talents: an ability to closely imitate Charlene's spoken-word interlude in "I've Never Been to Me". That's truth! That's love!

right, you're on. I shall not rest, slumber, blink, utter a spoken pause or consider the lillies till I find an Air Supply badger-baiting scorchio.

make yourself comfy but, I may be some time...

Public outrage following the release of the truly horrendous Delta Dawn in 1973, saw a team of security guards charged with the task of keeping the woman the hell away from any unlocked Australian recording studio for the rest of the 1970s. Unfortunately, they got drunk one night, Helen slipped…

Cheers, Sacha.

Incidently, Russell, LOVE the Sora Shima, only mildly taken with the Yumi Zouma and absolutely LOATHED the Helen Reddy, Alan Perrott. What's got into you, man ???????

Last week Tiny Ruins released the studio version of Me at the museum, You at the Wintergardens along with announcing the release dates of her album Brightly Painted One (2 May). Details and track here.

Interesting also that they have signed to indie UK label Bella Union, which I have…

…I do wish Steve and Chris would rerelease
or upload some more of the Stridulators music,
the world is ready now…

Very much +1.

Those guys were doing complex bedroom productions before the equipment really even existed. They were layering cassette recordings!

Steve was always quite stern about how everyone…

Charles Bradley was great, in a sold-out concert at the James Cabaret in Wellington last night (the venue is a well-kept secret!). All the right tropes of great soul music and another demonstration that you don't have to be conventionally beautiful to be sexy and sensual.

My preferred version of Townes Van Zandt's 'Dollar Bill Blues'.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBjdR91rHzs

And, what the hell, seeing it's you, I'll throw in Donald Byrd's decidedly beautiful 'Cristo Redentor' (1963).....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2KvM2T40RQ

Not to mention Ry Cooder's pearls of wisdom (preach it to me brother !!! preach it to me !!!).....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHdjBd105IU

It's actually pretty hard to get a good clean recoding of cicada, without it sounding white noise. However I'm willing to give it another crack! Anyone with a good cicada sample please let me know...

I’d quite like one of the bright young things (or old timers) dabbling in electronic stuff to make something sampling cicadas

I do not understand why this didn't happen years ago.

Been digging the Yumi Zouma... beautifully chilled. There's a ace remix on their labels soundcloud – plus some tasty downloads from other acts too
