Keen to hear what a bunch of 60 year old U2 rockers think they sound like in 2025 I do hope they sound like they’re stuck in 1983 A belter 36 minute album of 3 minute rock would be awesome lads

Rare Aotearoa NZ pressing of Beatles For Sale in its full glossy gatefold version Recut locally from the UK master in 1973 (?) Single box EMI logo Cover and vinyl excellent - best forty bucks I’ve spent in ages!

Pete Shelley Homosapien Beautiful gatefold of this new wave slice of genius With bonus disc ! Too effort from the Shelley estate, great mix, flat heavy vinyl, liner notes, everything to love here #buzzcocks

My partner put my Improv class in our family calendar Maybe she’s sending me a subtle message ?

Garbage, Let All That We Imagine Be The Light. Strong album. The deep synths and programming are excellent - perhaps the most Garbage they have sounded in 30 years. Renewed my love for this band 🖤🖤🖤

Norwegian dark wave 😎🖤😎

Bit of old school OMD this morning Dazzle Ships has aged very well, and the classic OMD debut with all its low tech synth goodness.

I guess we’re all here on earth for a limited time. Still feels a bit harsh to wear that label though.

Hard not to love this. 40 years old now.

Finally found an original In VG VG grade, the flimsy 1971 gatefold sleeve survived 🖤🖤🖤 T.Rex

Californians certainly make excellent wine. 🍷 Pants name for a vineyard, Marc, though.

Elbows Up! More Canadian pop weirdness from Arcade Fire. Pink Elephant: mash up or electro pop, Eno like atmospheric and oh so funky.

Been a year since we lost this crazy dude. Dogs : every day you have them they unconditionally love you. When they die they break your heart.

Holy Fark This is great ! Peter Murphy. That voice is still there !!!

Been hunting this 1989 epic for a while, mint copy found ! The The, third album, Mind Bomb Matt Johnson backed by Johnny Marr’s melodic guitars Wonderful

Retro Sunday spin list.

This is a sludgy dark wave surprise Ministry reimagined their early new wave output with some heavy industrial grime smeared on top of the synths Works for me 🖤

Another set list successfully snaffled. Greg Johnson, Old St Paul’s in Pōneke Wellington Stunning venue 🤩
