This post is a little tardy, as I meant to get on it after reading medication a few weeks ago. The ‘01 re-issue of Dream Syndicate’s The Days of Wine & Roses album has 7 bonus tracks — all worth your time. This track has been on the radio to the right the past 10 [...]

Not the first Galaxie 500 posting here at the Drunkard, but this is the first topical Galaxie 500 post. By that I mean Galaxie 500’s Peel Sessions will see an official release date November 14, 2005 — eight tracks spanning the groups ‘89 & ‘90 sessions recorded for the BBC’s Radio One John Peel Show.

I predict this album will generate a fair amount of initial fanfare. First, it’s an album made up entirely of covers from one of the more successful “indie” bands of the past five years.

Crosby in 1970. This was his finest hour — his first solo album. Contributing guests include: Jerry Garcia, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Phil Lesh, Graham Nash, etc etc. If you too enjoy this album, drop me a comment. I think it’s fantastic….loose, creative…embodies the early ’70s in California perfectly.

I uploaded this rare 1978 bootleg recording from the Montreux Jazz Festival for a friend yesterday…thought you all may be interested as well. I have several live albums from this New Orleans piano master, and this is by far the best. Booker plays along with a loose pick-up band backing him. Spiders on keys, indeed. [...]

If you’re in Atlanta, Paste Magazine is holding it’s first annual Rock ‘n Reel independent music and film festival this weekend. Looks like a very solid line-up. Happy to see my hometown step it up.

Brightblack is made up of longtime friends and musical partners Naybob and Raybob — two Alabama ex-pats now living in the woods of Humboldt County, CA. The duo’s indie-americana-folk stylings were taken notice by Will Oldham ,who subsequently recorded two split/EPs, and has toured with brightblack on four occasions. Expect brightblack’s first Matador release in [...]

While adding tunes to the Aquarium’s radio, I realized I had yet to post anything from Stephen McBean’s “other project.” So if you enjoyed the Pink Mountaintops tunes last month, Vancouver’s Black Mountain is a must listen. (note: you can sample Druganaut on the radio to the right before downloading.)
