Memories of a record shop nobody : Selectadisc, late ’80s/early ’90s
“I learned to read the barometer of his moods and on bad days, kept my head down, finding distraction in the racks and the steady stream of customers, 99% of whom Jeff despised.”
Band Abandoned
“There’s nothing more boring than middle age, particularly when you’ve spent two or three years in the glorious limelight of sycophancy.”
Disco Inferno – ‘Summer’s Last Sound/Love Stepping Out’ (Cheree, 1992)
“For all this talk of Summer and love, there’s a worm in Disco Inferno’s apple that never really ever goes away.”
Spoonfed Hybrid – ‘Spoonfed Hybrid’ (Guernica, 1993)
“…an album that’s both more varied and sonically untethered than any of their previous incarnations, the noisiness of their previous groups consigned to the corner, allowing a vast space for a plethora of electronic and acoustic instruments to interact, meander and contort…”
The Wolfgang Press – ‘Queer’ (4AD/Time Warner, 1991/1992)
“The city is weird now, like all cities are weird now—but Queer still thrills; it still makes me want to move.”
Pacific – ‘Inference’ (Creation Records, 1990)
“In every race, the also-ran, in every play, the understudy, at every festival, a bottom of the bill. And so to Pacific. “
Insides – ‘Euphoria’ (Guernica, 1993)
“We’re not interested in being experimental or difficult. I see ‘Euphoria’ as this Astrid Gilberto thing, or even like the Bjork album: something pleasant, something nice.”
