"Luke Haines brilliant one-off album centred around the R.A.F. & his frequent theme of the 1970s: Mogadishu, It's a Moral Issue, Meet Me at the Airport, Back on the Farm...."
"Bowie's weakest album, ignoring 'Pin Ups' between 'The Man....' & 'Scary Monsters' - still 'We are the Dead' is nice and 1984. Blame this for Marilyn Manson if you like!"

"Laura Veirs' new old album that will appeal to those who dig Americana & the Harry Smith Folk Anthology. She's wonderful live too, if you get the chance..."

"Two mini-albums from XTC off-shoot where they pretended to be a 60s-psych-outfit- think The Beatles-Zombies-Satanic Majesties-Hollies-Yardbirds-Syd's Floyd...."
