Until last week I was not familiar with Ben Weaver nor his music, but judging by these three unmastered tracks from his upcoming (Brian Deck produced) album, it’s safe to say I am going to love his full-length. I get a lot of unsolicited albums/eps/mp3s in the mail, but it’s times like these when I […]

Snowglobe is the third band this year from Memphis, TN that I have begun listening to (see: Lucero, Harlan T. Bobo). Prior to that, I think Big Star and Elvis were the most recent Memphis exports filling my iPod. Unlike the other two, Snowglobe don’t work any kind of inherently Southern, rootsy angle, but opt […]

If I had been in need of a reminder that the Drive-By Truckers are one of the tightest, most professional, ass-kicking Live rock & roll band’’s working today, then the one-two punch of the bands two night stay at the House of Blues in Hollywood was it. As of writing this, it’s Friday […]

We received a nice treat in the mail at the Drunkard home offices a couple of weeks ago in the form of Sonic Youth’s upcoming album Rather Ripped.

These past months have found me working my way backwards through the Clem Snide catalog. Eef and company are growers. Their weird pop tunes and bent language are matched and backed by their impressive instrumentation. Here are a couple of tunes I’m listening to this Saturday morning over coffee.

Sometimes I’ll hear a song and the kitsch factor alone pulls me in again and again — such is the case with Mel McDaniel’s “Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On.” I originally heard the song a few years ago via a scene in the film Personal Velocity , and it’s positioning was used perfectly to […]

Due to Monday’s protest demonstrations here in L.A., many of our main streets were closed. This event lead me to weaving in and out of curious side streets while trying to make my way from the mid-Wilshire area to Hollywood. This turned out to be no small feat, folks. The endeavor wound up taking a […]

I was thinking this series could have an nice alternate title of “songs for a good barfight.” Here is another six pack of Country & Western tear-jerkers and beer-swillers that will assist in getting me across the country this summer.
