Aquarium Drunkard

Thanks to J over at WQFS Greensboro, NC Radio for turning me on to this pre-release MP3 from Josh Ritter’s upcoming Spring 2006 release. From this track alone, it sounds like the album will be a good’un.

*If you’re in the North Carolina area I highly recommend tuning into J’s radio program…I unfortunately don’t get […]

You may have heard some of The Pink Mountaintops on the Drunkard radio to the right, but I thought you would appreciate their bio on Better Propanganda. Sounds like a twisted good time.

“The Pink Mountaintops is Stephen McBean, formerly of Jerk With A Bomb and now also exemplar member of Black Mountain. The debut record […]

Want to mention one of my favorite drummers/percussionists of today. On his solo debut, Stanton Moore, enlists the eclectic help of Charlie Hunter (eight-string guitar) and Skerik (saxophonics, kookification.) What they lay down is far jazzier than any of Moore’s past work with his full time gig Galactic. In case you’re hesitant, this album really […]

A few years ago Josh Rouse sold a limited release EP containing six exceptional downbeat/mellow songs. The EP, Bedroom Classics Vol I, has now long been out of print, with no plans of a re-release any time soon. It’s come to my attention that sellers on eBay are charging super-inflated prices for “burned” copies of […]

If you haven’t heard, the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is back with a new album…and an entirely different sound. No longer aping The Jesus & Mary Chain, this album is a mostly acoustic affair with tinges of gospel and blues. I listened to HOWL numerous times on the plane this morning, from L.A. to Atlanta, […]

Part IV of my ongoing 50 states project in which I am marrying my interest in retro travel-postcards with music indigenous to each state. Today we find ourselves in Louisiana, home to one of my favorite cities, New Orleans. Since 1995 I have visited the Crescent city at least once a year — always drawn […]
