New Music

For those of you who've been asking about the music I've been using at Quest and at SOD here's the links.

First off is Bonobo - my personal fave at the moment. He has an album coming out in October (Days to come - pictured right), but until then the EP "nightlite" is available (check out iTunes). Unbelievably good - especially the last track, "If you stayed over" which features guest vocalist Fink (is that the character from Wizard of Id?). Very, very chilled, late night jazzy sort of stuff.

Loka - "Fire shepherds" is the album and "tabernacle" is the track that i used at college and at SOD which a few of you have asked about. From the same label as Bonobo, but with a slightly different feel.

Am still engrossed by the Something For Kate album - Desert Lights. Some of the best Australian rock going around. Intelligent, lyrical and passionate. Love it.

And of course, coming up very soon is the combined album between Tex Perkins and Tim Rogers - "My Better Half" - which should be a cracker from the two cranky old rockers.

And thanks to Rossy, what musical update is complete without a tribute to the 1980's - young guitar maestro "AP" - technical wizardry if for nothing other than managing to time travel permanently to the late 80's! Perfect timing to celebrate the imminent "Miami Vice" movie on Thursday night - (Ray gives it 5 stars! He always manages to surprise me that Diamond Ray boy does....)

Yeah, I'm seeing five stars thanks to the head injury I received from falling off my chair laughing at that statement :-)
