‘Journalistic’ doesn’t seem the right descriptor for Anthonie Tonnon.
I have heard a reference to the spirit of Raymond Carver and that seem more appropriate. Such intelligent song-writing and the music is pretty damn good too

And you wind up with four or five old Six60 tracks in the supposed Top 10 Singles week after week. It's pretty much wrecked the idea of having a chart.

2015 was a really really weak year for New Zealand music in the top 40, which I think is due to streaming. It seems unless you're Six60, no other locals acts enjoy popularity on Spotify. That is, it's all very well to "support New Zealand music" by buying music on…

I've really enjoyed Barnett, got to see her twice this last year or so.

‘The Lords Prayer’ was a big international hit in the mid 70s

Oh my goodness – I'd forgotten!

Leong Lau: Another reissue on Left Ear Records, Lau – from Malaysia – was active in Sydney during the 70’s and this has long been pretty obscure (his other album Dragon Man was reissued by Light in the Attic as well). The title track ‘That Rongeng Sound’ is the standout:…

Showing my guitar-centric jangle and americanish roots a few more that hit the spot for me locally were Marlon Williams, Tami Neilson, Don McGlashan's latest and of course the Chills. That Nadia Reid is something else though. Honorable mention also to the guys from around here-Jakob.

Aside from the usual suspects (Jamie, Courtney, Kendrick etc) I'm boostin':

Hop Along "Painted Shut" (the normal setbacks, but Frances Quinlan feels 'em)
Angel Haze "Back to the Woods" (virtuoso)
Ashley Monroe "The Blade" (Nashville and proud of it)
Carly Rae Jepsen "Emotion" (purest pleasure)
Grimes "Art Angels" (outreach at…

and a bunch of others I can’t remember right now.

what, no Feelers?!... only joking ... how about Hopetoun Brown's 'Burning Fuse' (and a couple of brilliant live shows to boot), Silicon's 'Personal Computer' and Delaney Davidson's up-tempo 'Lucky Guy' for starters.

Can't wait for the Nadia Reid and Anthonie…

I'll play... got a bit of time on my hands since being taken out back of the Herald to be banged on the head with a rock.

I couldn't name top tracks of 2015 – that new fangled music hurts my head – but have made some sweet vinyly scores…

Struggle to come up with a list as its been a reasonably big year on the vinyl front: a steady trickling from local shops and record fairs, an extremely good year for op shop pickups (best ever I’d say) and a trip to Japan (which resulted in 61 albums being…
