Odetta -- My Eyes Have Seen

  Folk belter Odetta teaches you everything you need to know about life from prison songs, Irish tales, traditionals, and nursery rhymes, all perfectly executed in her uniquely dissident style.

Drugdealer -- The End Of Comedy

  The End Of Comedy is the best fuckan record I have heard in a long time.  It's a 70's style pastiche of John Lennon, Syd Barrett, Carol King and Todd Rundgren, featuring a slew of indie rock luminary players and let's face it we all need a little Drugdealer from time to time!

Foxygen -- We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors Of Peace And Magic

  A symbiance of Loaded era Velvets with indie pop cuteness of Stereolab, don't be fooled by the terrible band name, which I have to admit threw me off until I recently rediscovered this awesome album! 

New York Dolls -- Too Much Too Soon

  This sophomore release in parts has some of my favourite New York Dolls moments but in the same breath I can't get past the Rocky Horror sounding cheeseball numbers that make the record almost unberable ... looks like it really was Too Much Too Soon!

Miles Davis -- Greatest Hits

  Summing up Miles Davis' career in eight tracks is a hard pill to swallow, the record is so all over the place, it's like a train wreck, an airplane crash plus an alien attack and a car wreck all in the same place, confusing but estounding!

The Soft Machine -- Third

  I almost half expected to hate this album, I had never heard it before, just read about it, but oh man this symbiotic love child of Miles Davis and Frank Zappa is a tour de force, definitely not a record for squirlly beginners.

Vashti Bunyan -- Just Another Diamond Day

   I am so in love with Vashti Bunyan, she's like the ultimate hipster, travelling the Irish countryside on a horse and buggy with her dog singing sweet lullaby-esque folk tunes, sounding like a undrepressing Nico.

Thee Oh Sees -- A Weird Exits

  Hands down their finest release, a killer mixture of their traditional garage sound and Dwyer's Eno-esque side project Damadged Bug, making this a super nova of the modern psych rock scene!  My only mega beef is the total fucking rip off 45 rpm double album format that has only three sides ... a complete discredit to the record buying public!!
