Its been 29 years since I got my first twin tape deck - I think it was a Phillips but it became my first tool of piracy! A fuzzy copy of a fuzzy copy of a fuzzy copy.
1) Cubensis Lenses by Psychedelic Porn Crumpets When I heard this band's name I had to hear their sound and I've enjoyed what I found. Another Hairy Psychedelic Perth Rock Band.
2) Um Chagga Lagga by Pixies Pixies turn 30 this year making this old indie kid feel even older. Still got it but.
3) Ain't No Rhyme by Jake Bugg This is my favourite Jake Bugg track from his recent album - heading in a Beck direction.
4)
Marinade by Dope Lemon Breezy laid back tune which I have been loving - just realised it's Angus Stone's new band. Marinade on that for a while...
5)
Take It From Me by Kongos Three years after their debut Kongos have realised their follow up with African rhythms and instruments. Think Kings of Leon covering Paul Simon's Gracelands.
6) Anesthetized Lesson - (Kevin Parker Remix) by GUM GUM is a solo project by a Tame Impala musician and now remixed by a Tame Impala musician so unsurprisingly it sounds even more like Tame Impala. See Mixtape Dec 2015 for the original.
7) Subways by The Avalanches Finally The Avalanches released a follow up album after 16 years.
8) 2 4 by Sampa The Great More awesome Aussie music!
9) Breaking The Girl by El Perro Del Mar Minimal Swedish synth cover of the Red Hot Chili Pepper's original from Bloodsugarsexmagik.
10) Siberian Nights by The Kills Taken from the fifth album by The Kills.
11) Tiny by Dinosaur Jr Three minutes of spunky grunge pop.
12) Touch Of Grey by The War On Drugs New music from The War On Drugs. A cover taken from The Grateful Dead tribute album will have to suffice whilst we await their next opus.
13) Belle of St Marks by Helen Love A new album is out from Swansea's finest power pop punks. This follows the release of the year's best football record for Euro 2016 with "A Boy From Wales Called Gareth Bale"
14) Clouds & Rain by BUOY Don't even know how to describe this music anymore... drum n bass for coffee tables?
15) Undermine by Planet It was bugging me for weeks who this band sound like. I've just realised they sound like the DMA's. Planet also hail from Sydney and have yet to release their debut album.
16) D'You Know What I Mean? (Noel's Remaster) by Oasis It has been 19 years since this topped the charts. This remaster has scraped away three layers of excess cocaine inspired guitar overdubs to reveal the strings and Wonderwall chords that were hidden in the mix.
17) Natty Rides Again by Nattali Rize & Julian Marley A nice slab of reggae.
18) Time For Heroes by Graham Coxon Cover of The Libertines which is more ramshackle than the original which was a single 14 years ago.
19) Night On The Sun by Modest Mouse The Mouse have just released this nine minute epic.
20) Night Owl by Metronomy Playing out with Metronomy's classic beach synth sound.
