We do our best to keep tabs on the latest Numero Group happenings, as they rarely fail to deliver. The latest news to come out of their Chicago shop is the recently launched Asterisk imprint which drops not one, but three albums on us this month. The story goes that, apparently, while the label’s resident [...]
Released this week, Pride, the latest full-length from Phosphorescent, finds Matthew Houck and company improving on the recipe that first drew us in (two-plus years ago) with release of his second album Aw Come, Aw Wry. An Elephant 6 like mixture, filtered, through, say, Bonnie Prince” Billy, it became one of our favorite LPs of [...]

Please take this moment to add our new URL to your del.icio.us reader. Again, that is: http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/ Oh, and if you have yet to set up [...]

The below video is of Neil with Crazyhorse, live at the Hammersmith Odeon, in London March 28, 1976, performing “Like a Hurricane,” which was allegedly to have been the cornerstone track [...]

It was previously reported that her next album was to be an all covers sequel of sorts to 2000′s The Covers Record. Things change — the new Cat Power jam is a mix of country, rock, soul and [...]

Quick on the heels of the May release of Adams’ “solo” album, Easy Tiger, Follow The Lights consists of both new material, as well as [...]
Like Harvest Moon, and most recently Prairie Wind, (both of which, odes and/or continuations of themes and motifs originating from 1972′s Harvest) Neil Young returns to retail shelves next week with Chrome Dreams II; a nod to his mid-seventies album, of the same name, which, sadly, never saw the light of day. In lieu of [...]
