The 2nd Vampire Weekend album Contra is 10 years old this week! The LP is eclectic, innovative and complex, but doesn’t lose the charm of their first release. The world music influences are throughout. Nice album. vampireweekend.com

I recently stumbled across the music of Nigerian funk musician William Onyeabor and was mightily impressed. The 1980 Body & Soul album contains just four tracks, but all lengthy grooves. Apparently, he performed live or gave interviews…an enigma! williamonyeabor.com

When I first visited Australia in 1988 John Farnham’s Age of Reason was huge, and since then I’ve always had a soft spot for this album. After all I was only 16, an impressionable age! It might not win my much kudos, but it’s a guilty pleasure. What’s yours? johnfarnham.com.au
