Aquarium Drunkard

Live Daily has recently aired an interview I did for them with Richard Hawley at SXSW in Austin last March. A casual interview, Hawley and I discussed touring, music blogs, his influences, etc at a restaurant prior to his gig later that night. A real gentleman and a pleasure to interview.

This 2006 documentary (surrounding the final year of LUNA’s career as a working band) has come up several times in conversation within the past week. I figure that alone merits yet another LUNA post on the Drunkard.
As a huge fan of the band’s catalog it was both an interesting documentation of the inner-workings of […]

The kings of early ’70s hedonism had a court order produced declaring this documentary could not be shown without the presence of it’s director, Robert Franks. That did not stop the bootleg of the film from being widely dispersed on the black market. This is a truly naked, candid, often disturbing […]

The story of John Lennon’s estrangement from Yoko Ono in 1974 has become the stuff of rock & roll lore. Holed up for months in L.A., Lennon’s adventures have long been playfully referred to as his “lost weekend.” Read: super-bender. During this stint to the golden coast, among drinking, drugging, corralling and other la la […]

Closing in now on twenty years, The Black Crowes have stood their ground as the American blues-based rock & roll outfit working today. They are a throwback in the best way to the arena sized giants of the late sixties and seventies. Rock & Roll excess, drama, crooked music biz politics, sibling rivalry…money-makin’.
Last Spring I […]

This is relatively old news in the uber-fast Internet era, but I did want to mention that due to legal issues L.A.’s The Brokedown have been forced to change their name. That’s the bad news. But, the good news is that we like their new name even better: The Broken West. As reported earlier, the […]

I stumble upon some of my favorite music finds by accident. A conversation, a late night podcast, an obscure music rag, etc., etc. In this case it was, as happens regularly, by the recommendation of a friend.

I know very little about Travel By Sea other than they are an indie-folk songwriting duo that have […]

And we’re….back.

I’ve been away from a computer for awhile, so while playing catch up earlier today I read the Pitchfork piece on news of The Evens upcoming album entitled The Evens Get Evens, out November 6th. Being that the outfit’s debut was (and continues to be) one of my favorite jams of 2005, this is […]

Welcome to Episode 16 of the podcast edition of The Aquarium Drunkard Show; airing live every Wednesday 2-4 p.m. PST at the Little Radio studios in downtown L.A. As requested, below is the tracklisting order for this week’s podcast.
I am particularly fond of this show as it’s based in acoustic/roots music, which my ears typically […]

Daniel Hutchens’ Lovesongs For Losers drops today at Autumn Tone – it’s our first proper release. When Hutchens and I first began batting around the idea of working together on his next project, the initial idea was to knock out another acoustic-based “singer-songwriter” driven recording in the vein of his solo debut, 2003’s LESSER. What […]

October 1oth sees the release of my Autumn Tone label’s first release — Daniel Hutchens second solo album recorded at Dave Barbe’s Athens, GA studio this past Spring. You’ll here more about that next week though.

Right now I want to turn you on to a demoed outtake from the pre-sessions in Denver that did […]

Note: My file host has cracked down on Zip files - therefore I am re-posting this essential MMJ KVRX show.—-I would not have this recording if it wasn’t for the kind folks at Audio For Drinking, so huge thanks to those guys. For those of you who (like me) prefer the days when MMJ still […]
