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!!
