BLLT @ NY2LON; The Drunkard (middle) Thursday 3/16/06 with GvB & MOKB
As I mentioned in the SXSW recap posted earlier today, The Boy Least Likely To put on a fantastic show. I picked up their album The Best Party Ever at Waterloo Records Sunday afternoon while kicking around Austin. If you, like me, had […]

The Salt Lick
I’m sitting in the Austin airport after an absolutely amazing/exhausting weekend. Just a quick word of thanks to the three guest bloggers who did their thing while I was out and about. It was great fun reading their posts on the Drunkard today — kinda like riding shotgun in your own car. […]

In keeping with the alt-folk-alterna-modern-western theme of this here blog, I’ve decided to drop a couple “who could resista” tracks on your funky cowboy boot wearing asses. First off, does it get any better than this classic country jam?
DOWNLOAD:MP3: Boogie
Alright, nice. And for you vegans out there, holy shit, does your ol pal Marty have […]

The enmity between Lou Reed and John Cale is no secret. After Cale’s departure from the Velvet Underground in 1968 (following the release of White Light/White Heat), there was really only one thing that still connected them: Andy Warhol. Seems like that was enough to put a temporary halt to about 20 […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you all! Although I am primarily of English heritage, I hold no ill will toward my Irish brethren. Having given us the Blarney Stone, lots of great music and Guinness Stout, there’s no way I could hold any sort of hatred in my heart.
Sadly, the Internet […]

It’s Will from Be The Boy again helping to fill in. While our man in Texas is probably sleeping one off on this fine St. Patrick’s Day morning I’m thinking about late night drinks. When it’s past the party hour but not quite last call can be too much time to drink alone, not that […]

Over at my radio show, I do a bi-monthly feature called Cityscape in which I feature nothing but artists from a particular city. This month, in honor of March Madness, I decided to focus on bands from the one, the only, Chapel Hill.
Chapel Hill is a college town, home to one of […]

Hey, Martin McFriend here, taking my first crack at a guest post for ye olde Aquarium Drunkard, while he searches the seedy underbelly of south central Texas for the next great soul creature.
So, you probably already know how to get laid. And that’s totally cool. I don’t want to sprinkle salt in your game, player. […]

Now filling in for the star of our show is Will from Be The Boy.
By 1970 Los Angeles was holding a wake for the hippie era, it had been found wounded on the side of the freeway, bleeding from a knife wound to the heart delivered by the Manson Family. All of the incense and […]

Heads up gang, I am catching a red-eye to Austin tonight until Sunday evening for SXSW. Look for some interviews, stories, anecdotes, etc., etc. upon my return. I am very much looking forward to four days of music, interviews, parties, beer, and of course BBQ. Lots and lots of the ‘Que. Also, looking forward to […]

You may have read about this documentary the past few months as it made some of the film festival rounds. Next month it is out on DVD with interviews with all of the surviving Dolls, Morrissey, Bob Geldof, Iggy Pop, etc. What I personally am interested in though, is the special feature where you […]

Memphis, TN :: Lucero
Caveat Emptor: Until this past week, my knowledge of Lucero was based solely on reputation and word of mouth alone — give or take the odd MP3 track here or there. Shit-fire, consider me all educated up — instant-expert like. Savvy.
In the mail I received both the band’s latest full length […]
