    The Jeff Edition

    In this edition of Shut Up & Listen to the Songs, I delve deep into the life and output of none other than... Jeff Buckley. Reviewing the recent Amy Berg documentary It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley (spoiler alert: it's excellent). I give an overview of his life - a review of the doc - then a walkthrough of his albums, live albums, EPs & compilations.  It's basically a love letter to the guy. It's been a wonderful to contemplate not only what a brilliant an artist he was, but the influence he's had on me through listening the past 25 years...

    Getting Started - Starting Your Collection

    How to start a collection - it can be really daunting... The condecending approach would be "these are the greatest albums... blah blah blah", but what I'm hoping to say here is what makes these albums so special - and why they sound so great on vinyl.  So you'll think about what you want from your collection, the kinds of albums you'll want to hear and the diferent facets beyond "it's a really good album".
