LP’s
Culture in Dub: 15 Dub Shots – Culture
The version of Dub Pyaka that Peel played in 1978 was one of the things that really got me into reggae. The version here is slightly different, but fabulous all the same.

Machine Gun Etiquette – The Damned
An old fave that I will probably love until my dying day!

NY Muscle – Hell
Features Alan Vega on vocals on a couple of tracks.

Get It On – V/A
Bolan related CD with this month’s Uncut. Eddie Cochran is a notable omission though.

Also...
Psychocandy - JAMC
A Web Of Sound – The Seeds
Chemical Chords – Stereolab
Suzan Galaxy – The Suzan

Misc...
Phil Spector In The Studio 1962-66 – V/A
Five discs worth of take after take c/o the BigO. I might never listen to this again, but it was fascinating to hear Spector’s repeated interruptions, etc. I’m sure it was a nightmare to record with him, but the results certainly justify it. It also made me realise just how great The Ronettes Do I Love You is!

45’s
See Tha’ Light – ARE Weapons / Alan Vega
Genius 2009 single which finds Vega at his finest over a slowed down, almost funky beat.

Monad – Bruce Gilbert
Typically abstract number from former Wire man.

Roman Roads – Land Observations
New 7” from one of Appliance. Rather lovely.

The Dull Age / The Sorrow Of Two Blooms - Tropic Of Cancer
I’m surprised no-one here seems to be raving about this lot. TSOTB is very early 80’s – there’s just a touch of the Virgin Prunes about it mixed with an almost Joy Division-like melancholy.

Also singles by The Bodysnatchers, Crystal Stilts, Gorillaz, Olive, Pet Shop Boys, Positive Noise, PIL, The Smiths and Wild Swans.
