Aquarium Drunkard

I’m loving this Hacienda album, and play these dudes about every week on the SIRIUS show. Posted the MP3 for “She’s Got Ahold On Me” about six weeks ago, so below is the video. Dig. Also, you can stream the LP in it’s entirety via Dodge.

The new set of Replacements reissues, focusing on their four albums for Sire/Warner Brothers records (Tim, Pleased to Meet Me, Don’t Tell a Soul and All Shook Down), deal with the most controversial albums in the band’s catalogue - controversial in regards to their stock compared to the earlier albums, in recording quality, even in […]

Anyone else ready for this election to end? Me too. Wall Street has lost its temporary gains, we’re still at war, the country is more polarized than ever and the national deficit is so immense most of us cannot […]

Sleazy…nasty…seventies rock ‘n roll. If that’s your bag (and why wouldn’t it be) add Les Blanks to your radar, as they are just that — only they exist in the here and now of the 21st century. Easy touchstones for the band’s live sound would be a little CCR crossed with the soul of […]

At the beginning of 2007 I caught one of Of Montreal’s first dates for the Hissing Fauna tour and was sufficiently blown away by both the live rendering of the new material — and the live spectacle it employed. Friday night, while in New York, my mind was again blown, but this time even […]

David Berman’s voice dominates the six records that he has released under the once-tattering banner of the Silver Jews. The baritone pulls tension across the loose ends of the Joos’ fall-apart country, binding everything together and sounding for the life of it like the closing of an industrial zipper. And the words that […]

SIRIUS 67: Jean Michel Bernard - Generique Stephane ++ White Denim - Shake Shake Shake ++ Little Joy - No One’s […]

It’s astounding, and yet makes perfect sense, that the Muppet movies of the 1970’s were full of great music. Going far beyond the educational songs (catchy in their own right) of Sesame Street, The Muppet Movie (1979) is chock full of quality tunes boasting many a foot-stomping riff.
“Movin’ Right Along” is funny, […]

While the environment shouldn’t seem like a political issue, it has become one of the nastier ones of the past half century. The conflict between capitalism and conservation […]

My Morning Jacket : Recorded at Austin’s KVRX radio in the Fall of 2000 with four additional bonus tracks of Jim James’ solo appearance at the station in March of ‘01. This one is for those of you who (like me) prefer the days when MMJ still had more of that high lonesome, rural, […]
