Though it flew way under most radars outside of Memphis, TN, Harlan T. Bobo’s debut LP, Too Much Love, was one of my favorite releases of 2006. An outlier on the typically noisy Goner Records label, Too Much Love was a love sick paean to romance that seemed to straddle our reality and that of [...]

Mountain Man’s 2009 EP is available for download via [...]
Do as I did and cue up The Soft Pack in your car, on cruise control, at a comfortable speed just above the posted Speed Limit (9/mph in my case). It doesn’t feel like you’re racing, but, with no one ahead of you or in the rearview mirror, the world still goes by at a [...]
Here we go, the first installment of an irregular series in which I plan on highlighting some of my favorite voices online (and beyond). We’re kicking off with Raven Sings The Blues. Based in NYC, since 2006, Raven has been a go-to source dealing in garage, psych, lo-fi and other related curiosities—both new and old. [...]
Tonight in Chinatown: Aquarium Drunkard presents the above show/house party at Madame Wongs. It’s first come, first serve — I’ll leave it at that (read between the lines). Also, there is a special guest we can’t announce here, but it’s an AD fave. See ya there…
