Yup, that’s Pollard posing on the cover of his first album of the new year, Space City Kicks. Yet another sign that the GBV reunion has in no way slowed the man down. LP drops January 25th on Guided By Voices Records. MP3: Robert Pollard :: Touch Me In The Right Place At The Right [...]

Every couple of years or so, whenever the mood strikes, I hit up the Jonathan Richman section of the record store as he consistently releases albums I tend to miss out on. (Did you know he is now on Vapor Records, Neil Young’s imprint? Neither did I.) Over the holidays, while in Athens for a [...]

In the meantime, check out Nilsson’s cover of John Lennon’s “Isolation;” a track I’ve has on steady repeat the past couple of months. A cover, it somehow surpasses John’s, excellent, original. A [...]

Album artwork: Does it indeed affect our listening experience, and if so, how? Scratch the Surface, a recurring feature on Aquarium Drunkard, takes a look at particularly interesting and/or exceptional cover art choices. “He [Daniel Corrigan; photographer] captured a moment.

As ‘live’ documents go, as in the type of recording that has the power to convey some of the kinetic energy and mojo of the room, The Mixtures Stompin’ At the Rainbow satisfies on all counts. The thirteen track set feels like a party, and by that I don’t mean its architects just left in [...]

Phosphorescent’s take on Neil Young’s “Are You Ready For The Country?” Culled from the companion disc accompanying the new issue of Mojo—Harvest Revisited—Matthew Houck and co. stay true to the arrangement Neil and the Stray Gators worked up on the original.
