I still can’t believe it, I never thought I’d get to see Massive Attack live. They were all super kind and hopped out of their cars for us, the funniest interaction was Horace ‘Sleepy’ Andy, Rob was super kind to us 5 fans despite security rushing him and he took a photo with all of us.

Glad they came back to Australia after 16 years- I was 5 last time they were here.

And to top it off Elizabeth signed me and my gfs (Cocteau twins is her fav artist) records and took photos.

Definitely a highlight of my life, my gf was ecstatic to meet her and she signed both of our heaven or Las Vegas records and blue bell knoll, she was really sweet and kind enough to take a photo with us.

P.S. her voice was angelic on black milk and teardrop.

Meeting not only Robert Del Naja, but Daddy G, Horace Andy AND Elizabeth Fraser and they all signed my records and took photos with me after an incredible final show of their tour. They were all so sweet and spoke with a few of us for 10 mins, never thought I’d get to massive attack live in Australia in my life since it’s been 16 years since they last played here.

Pond (Aus psych) launched their new album ‘Terrestrials’ last night and did a free show in Melbourne and did a signing after, new album is fantastic and all their band members are super kind.

Had a pretty successful year getting my stuff signed after shows, would love to get a Mac Demarco signature next time he’s comes to Aus.

Maybe it’s just my playing but I recently bought a chorus pedal and it’s made it better a bit

Started this hobby 2 years ago when I was 19 and have been a bit fanatic ever since, feels amazing to buy physically tangible media in an age of growing up streaming music. My favourites and most played albums are

Post - Bjork
Parklife - Blur
Let Love In - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Definitely Maybe - Oasis

Moon Safari - AIR (My fav album of all time)
Protection - Massive Attack
Bryter Later - Nick Drake
An Insatiable High - Masayoshi Takanaka
Regatta De Blanc - The Police

Honourable mention: Sea Change - Beck

Farewell and Goodnight is such a beautiful and melancholic album closer and it makes me feel like crying and makes me so nostalgic even though I wasn’t even alive in the 90s yet. My throat feels like razor blades when this one comes on, it’s so sweet that all the members sing on this one.

This album is my favourite of all time it’s beyond perfect.

I posted them on insta (@jameskeane0) and tagged both of them but I don’t think they saw it rip. Anyways thought this would be a good place to post them.

I genuinely think Nujabes is one of the best music producers of all time, and I still believe he’s severely underrated, sampling jazz, creating this Brazilian samba style - soul - jazz fusion lofi almost even trip hop with boom bap style rap layered into the beat.

My favourite tracks are Lady Brown, F.I.L.O, Blessing It, Highs 2 Lows & Peaceland.

His other album Modal Soul is incredible as well. RIP to the goat. ❤️

I love umbrella, criterion and arrow so much. Umbrella is severely underrated I think they have the best art of any label, the slips are so nice. Especially in recent years.

I snuck my professional camera in, would love to get these to his team somehow. Credit @jameskeane0 on insta :)

When he left the venue outside, I held my record up to him all the way to his car but he refused to sign, anyone know why? Has anyone got a photo of a video of me being a tool holding it to him and he didn’t sign it rip lol
