Birds Make Good Neighbors did not enter my radar until late 2005, so it’s still nice and fresh around here criss-crossing the rooms with it’s bright and sunny pop. The Raleigh, North Carolina based husband & wife duo continue here on their second LP with their brand of jangly guitar-laden pop. Business as usual, and […]

That’s right. Ye olde Drunkard now has a Podcast. Just think, you can now listen to me on the train/bus/car/ipod/stationary bike?/whatever. But, if you don’t do any of those things, feel free to just listen to it via iTunes, etc. Subscribe to my feed and have the weekly edition dropped right in your media player. […]

May 9th sees the release of the Bloodshot debut of Mark Pickerel And His Praying Hands. Mark’s music is a loose medley of telecaster twang, pedal-steel, surf-rock riffs, weird pontifications, reflections, darkly twisted humor, and non-linear storytelling. That’s a mouthful. If your into Jim White, spin these.DOWNLOAD:MP3: Mark Pickerel And His Praying Hands :: Forest […]

Was this album destined to be part of my “Lost Album Series”? From what I have read, it sounds like it was a distinct possibility, Stateside at least. But like Whiskeytown’s Pneumonia, this album rises like a Phoenix from the ashes and sees it’s U.S. commercial-release light of day. Completed in 2004, with the always […]

In the late 1990’s Gomez shot right out of the gate with two strong, self-assured albums back-to-back. Liquid Skin, the latter of the two, sounded so much like a continuation of their debut LP, Bring It On, the critics just had to harp (also see The Strokes Room On Fire). Personally, I have no […]

One of the fine folks who reads Aquarium Drunkard shot me an email asking if I was familiar with this Neil Young tribute album. I was not…a big thank you for the tip. After investigating, I realized I had actually heard a couple of these covers (Pixies, etc.), but not in relation to this collection […]

There is a reason Wrecking Ball is cited as the ideal when it comes to the artist, production, and music all coming together, in what appears, an effortless synergy. Daniel Lanois has a production style all his own, no matter if he’s working on his own material, scoring soundtracks, or with working other artists (Bob […]

I have posted on Hem before…hell, not even a month ago, but this album deserves a little extra push, especially for those of you into the twangy-alt.country side of the A.D. blog.
When I originally posted their cover of R.E.M.’s So. Central Rain, I was just getting my feet wet with the album as a whole. […]

It’s been awhile. I found this cd in my closet this afternoon while looking for an old Bob Marley bootleg. I didn’t come across the Marley boot, but I did find myself re-acquainted with this album. Saturation was Urge Overkill’s 1993 major label (Geffen) debut (and the last UO album I heard) prior to […]
