Started looking down the list then thought, this had to be Kevin. Really love the Louis Tillett, Blaze Foley and Zevon inclusions, although I’ve always found the acoustic guitar recording on Learning to Flinch a bit too sharp.
Enjoy Kev ! I could have included quite a few more, and I really should’ve put in the wonderful Laughing Clowns compilation, Cruel, But Fair but it was a stream of consciousness and I forgot. I reckon you’d probably get into the Beasts of Bourbon stuff. Feral, country punk rock. We spent a few years down here fantasising about outlier American country rock
The Ed Kuepper is superb. See if you can score some of the live Ed Kuepper, or a compilation of his Laughing Clowns stuff. I should have incuded Laughing Clowns.
When I was growing up, we used to pilfer all the NZ bands and call them our own, like Split Enz and even some of the classic Flying Nun bands, so for cred I left them out ! I could have included Midnight Oil, but in an act of wilfulness I left them out because they were not a dominant force for me.
Wow. That's a vexed task that one. As a devotee to 60's style psych that grew from the drug laden haze of the 13th Floor Elevators, I can't abide the Tame Impala stuff but the psychedelic family encompasses so, so much, and Bob, you've done a great job

Great list. I know it’s a minor offering in the grand schemes, but I love the live album “Circus” which I came upon one day and was a impulse buy
