Grace Cummings Refuge Cove
From the outset, Grace Cummings' gleaming baritone was striking. However, 'Refuge Cove' did not have the melodic support to make that voice anything more than an impressive noise wandering around onstage with its hands in its pockets, awaiting inspiration.

Grace Cummings Bloodhorse!
'The Hills are Alive With the Sounds of Morphine'. She's getting weird. Good.

Phoebe Bridgers Lost Weekend
Describing a Phoebe Bridgers album as "vulnerable", "personal" and "hushed" feels redundant by this point but I suppose it bears repeating. She is a thoroughly engrossing writer who makes me want to write.

Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin [DVD]
I mean... this is IT. The document that showcases Led Zeppelin in every shade of their
awesome powers at full flight for those of us who were not there the first time.From the
cocksure freneticism of Royal Albert Hall to the breathtakingly high-def footage of
MSG to the zoomed-in, acoustic sitdown at Earl's Court to the ragged, wounded glory of
Knebworth... no wonder the cover is an otherworldly mountain. These live sets are an
invitation to walk to the top.

Marvin Gaye What's Going On
Soothing and serene. If the state of the addresses don't exactly feel like the most hot-blooded calls to action ever, there is still an enjoyable listen here.

James Brown Live At The Apollo
I really wish this was much longer than 30 minutes and change. We get a look at everything Brown could do at the peak of his powers as an artist and performer and then 'The Night Train' pulls out of the station and it's over.

Stevie Wonder Where I'm Coming From
'Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer' is just jaw-dropping. The sort of instant classic you
assume came from an older time and a wiser head than an early 70s popstar but no, Stevie
Wonder wrote it in 1971 at the age of TWENTY-ONE.

  • Veldin Strongly disagree with yr Junkyard sound off. Lyrics are so good they're collected in King Ink. He's heavily influenced by southern gothic literature and his translation of similar content into lyrics for The Birthday Party is one of the best parts. And his performances are far from lazy
