It’s been a couple of days without a post here, so my guess is Justin is in transit as he and his wife continue their freewheeling ways around the country. So, um, hi. I’m Kevin (obligatory link).
I’m not sure if Justin has ever featured the Clientele in these parts, but it’s a group I think [...]

I had no idea who Zero 7 was until a couple of months ago. A friend’s rec and a couple of magizine pieces touting the band’s collaboration with Jose Gonzalez piqued my interest in a big way.

I have spun the band’s latest LP The Garden a few times this week and fell in love with [...]

In retrospect Depeche Mode comes off as terribly dated music – let’s not kid ourselves. But with the existing retro synth/eighties trend of the past few years, that works in the Mode’s favor, and none more so than their1987 album Music For The Masses. I came on board as a fan with the it’s follow-up, [...]

Robert Christgau and I are in the same corner when it comes to Sonic Youth. 20+ years together and the band still delivers the goods, more than delivers, both in the studio and on the stage. Last night in Atlanta at the Centerstage was no exception in support ofthe June 6th release of [...]

Upon its Spring release I read a less than flattering review of the Emmylou Harris/Mark Knopfler duets album All The Roadrunning. If I could remember the source of the review I would link it here for your perusal. Thank ye gods I listened my gut and not the critic, as it’s about as good an [...]

Here at the Drunkard, we love the old funk, soul, and r&b jams, but rarely touch on it all that often (as there are many well written, well researched sites out there already covering it.) One such website is Soulsides. If you’re not hip to them yet, they do a great job, and compiled a [...]
