I’m a Local Government lifer, Musician and Linux dabbler. This is a large and sprawling disorganised mess - a bit like me really. I’m interested in lots of things at the same time but a LOT of music. I’m not really doing this for any particular purpose other than being an old-ish dog learning some new tricks

Walk Away Renée/Pretty Ballerina is the debut studio album by the American baroque pop band the Left Banke, released in January 1967. Named after its two hit singles, “Walk Away Renée” and “Pretty Ballerina”, it peaked at number 67 on the Billboard Albums chart. Although the album was not widely popular upon its initial release, and fell into relative obscurity for a time, it is now viewed as a definitive example of baroque pop music.

This is a 2020 release during lockdown by Euros Childs, once frontman of Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci. He’s released close to 20 albums solo since he left Gorky’s and set up his own “National Elf” label with a pay as you can model. He’s startlingly prolific and truly independant and original. He’ll put out an album on average just before Christmas and they vary between pop, psychedelic folk (The lovely Thrips) and exteremely odd electonics. He’s awesome and I’m a huge fan.

Fire of God’s Love is the legendary 1973 album by Australian nun Sister Irene O’Connor—a sincere, soulful, and unconsciously psychedelic song sequence devoted to self-reflection and awakening the spirit within. A collection of original folk spirituals written by and channelled through O’Connor with guitar, electric organ, drum machine and her angelic voice, the album was recorded and mixed in an astonishingly futuristic fashion by fellow nun and recording engineer Sister Marimil Lobregat. This edition from Freedom To Spend is the first authorized reissue of this holy grail since 1976; the album restored and remastered with love from the best available sources by Jessica Thompson.

This album is a lost psych/garage gem from Chile. Released in 1967 and considered one of the best garage/psych albums from the whole of South America. The album was released only in Chile on RCA Victor. The music is heavily influenced by the Beatles but they managed to give it a bit of their own identity. Nice arranged songs. The lyrics are in Spanish and English.

An almost incomprehensibly great final salute to Tim Smith who was damaged by a stroke when he started this record in 2007. The incredible effort by the band to complete this is not just your standard posthumous album. It’s a genuine masterpiece. How they will do this in March 2026 (I have tickets) will be an incredible thing to see.. The loyal and fanatical fan-base have of course lost their minds over this since it was released fully on the 19th September.
