Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here (1975) A mate was visiting from Australia. He was in town for the night. That night included having to watch me playing a gig – my first with a country-ish band. It seemed to go pretty well. And we had some drinks after, and a chat. And hung out [...]Archive

The Walker Brothers, No Regrets (1975) I really like Scott Walker – particularly the fact that he is a man out of time, of his own time. And I love the early Walker Brothers material too. One of my favourite songs of all time by anyone ever is Make It Easy On Yourself. Fuck yes. [...]Archive

Steely Dan, Katy Lied (1975) A killer record this; as most of the Steely Dan albums are. And I can report (only now in fact) that this is my favourite album by the Dan. But you see it was the last of their albums that I heard. I knew the hit songs of course – [...]Archive
