Shindig! No.170

For the big December issue of Shindig! Magazine, I met the absolutely charming Melody Prochet to chat about her terrific new LP (which has barely left my turntable), while also finding time for an equine entry into the Vinyl Art canon. Elsewhere there's The Inner Dialogue, a young Robert Plant, the great Bill Nelson, weird witches, and Dutch proggers wrapped in tin foil. Plus you can find out who made the grade in our end-of-year poll and look forward to some spectacular sounds due in 2026. Is it too early to wish you a Very Merry Xmas?

Shindig! No.169

Not too late am I to big up Shindig! No.169? If Contour Records, The Strawberry Alarm Clock, Terry Southern and all manner of other fabulous stuff floats your boat, you'll be glad I did. And a little bit of Polska szkoła neon from me in Vinyl Art.

Shindig! No.167

Another fabulous issue of Shindig! for your back-to-school bus ride, with Sérgio Mendes, Wurlitzer Jukebox, Terry Reid, and Brigitte Fontaine there's plenty to keep you busy. And I get to join the dots from Blue Note to Blaxploitation in Vinyl Art.

Shindig! No.165

Have Adrienne Poster, psychedelic Doctor Who, World Countdown, Bonnie Dobson, and Sandro Brugnolini ever all been between the same covers together? They have now! Keeping their toes warm in another cracking issue of Shindig! Magazine is my Vinyl Art column which this month goes all Antipodean and swirly. It must be the heat.

Shindig! No.162

Al Kooper knows who hasn't subscribed to Shindig! Magazine. Make amends now and this month you can read about the man himself, the Evergreen Review, compilations of 1969, Goodtimes Enterprises, and all the usual offbeat brilliance you demand. Plus me, for Vinyl Art, going looking for phallic rocks in the desert. Where else? Nowhere else!

Shindig! No.160

British '60s jazz, Krautrock Eruption, a deep dive into twenty years of hauntology, Lynn Carey, and more besides - it's all in the new Shindig! Magazine, out this week. And I was lucky enough to find out about the rather fascinating Nik Pascal Raicevic for Vinyl Art, so now you can too. You would have had this issue last week if you subscribed!

Shindig! No.159

The first Shindig! Magazine issue of 2025 includes great reading on Jeannie Piersol, Tom Wilson and much more besides, while I delve into some colourful electronics in Vinyl Art. Treat yourself to a New Year subscription.
