For those that find Jamie T far too much of a ruffian. Fuckin' hell, whatever happened to the NME.

I heard some good new stuff in 2021, but I mainly picked up things I missed first time around, usually re-releases or stuff not released at the time.
It just happens to all be from Australia, which must be some sort of a crime in a London-centric blog like this one
Rowland S. Howard - Teenage Snuff Film (1999, re-released 2020)
Beautiful and haunting album
Dead Radio
Rowland S. Howard – Pop Crimes (2009)
The most recent of the LPs featured here and also the last one before Rowland’s death. I have recently started to believe that Rowland S. Howard was one of the greatest singer-songwriter-guitarists to come out of the Oz punk experience. I would put him up next to Ed Kuepper, although their work is very different
Pop Crimes
Ed Kuepper – Honey Steel’s Gold (1991, re-released 2000)
So many great songs here
King of Vice
The Stems – At First Sight Violets Are Blue (1987)
Such a great band and cool as fuck. How did I overlook them at the time?
I also bought the single of this track
Sad Girl
Trans 262/ME 262 – Sydney 1979-1982 (2017)
The band was called ME 262 but changed the name to Trans 262 in time to release their only EP in 1981. They had earlier laid down a number of demos under the old name, produced by Rob Younger. All can be found on this super little LP.
Don’t Hold Me Down
Yothu Yindi – Tribal Voice (1992)
They reformed for a book launch recently and played at my local library and I didn’t hear about it until after the event! At least I’ve got the book although haven’t read it yet.
Treaty
Warumpi Band – Go Bush! (1987)
Great band. Rock n roll meets Aboriginal country music
My Island Home

Back in 92 I worked in Papua New Guinea and would sometimes have a break in Oz with a cheap flight to Cairns or Brisbane. I was on the Gold Coast just as Treaty and Tribal Voice was breaking. I bagged a couple of CDs and they were copied dozens of times amongst friends on my return to Port Moresby. It became a floor filler at the Fire House night club in the PNG capital. I never got any commission though.
