Month: April 2006

A good time was had by all during yesterday’s Aquarium Drunkard Show at Little Radio’s warehouse space in downtown L.A. I enjoyed The Whigs song I played so much that I played it twice. Dig that, commercial […]

photo credit: Ryan Dombal Blacklisted was great, but I think Fox Confessor Brings The Flood transcends even it – which is pretty damn impressive. I posted “Hold On, Hold On” a couple of months ago — so . . […]

The rumors are indeed true. On Garden Ruin, Calexico move away from their signature Southwestern spaghetti-western tinged sound for a more straight up (indie) pop/rock sound. While I enjoyed the bands past albums, I must say […]

Yeah, these guys are good, so listen up. Sounds like: humid and sticky – kudzu draped – intelligent -indie rock & roll. Athens, GA continues to produce the good-shit regardless of genre…The Whigs just further […]

So it was only a matter of time until I got around to this one. Brooklyn based Blood On The Wall may sound like a cross-breed of Sonic Youth and The Pixies, but are a fine cross-breed. Distorted-melodic-scuzz-rock. Turns […]

This indie-pop/twee mini-masterpiece is undoubtedly in many of your collections already. If not, well, it should be. While reading up on Isobel Campbell ( see my infatuation with her latest album with Mark Lanegan ) I learned that she is touring with (ex-Vaseline/ex-Eugenius) Eugene Kelly. […]

I would like to weigh in with tmwsiy* on the Mark Lanegan/Isobel Campbell collaboration Ballad of the Broken Seas . I too agree it to be one of my favorite releases thus far in 2006. Lanegan’s trademark whiskey & […]

If you haven’t heard, this month The Library of Congress’ National Recording Preservation Board added Sonic Youth’s seminal album Daydream Nation to it’s ranks. Being one of my favorite albums by one of my long-time favorite bands, I felt this an appropriate time to reflect […]

“…I did some magic by the railroad tracks.” – Harlan T. Bobo Memphis, the land of the Sun Studios , Elvis Presley , Harlan T. Bobo and some damn fine BBQ . But today we’re not here to talk about the ‘que , no […]

Being based on the West coast, far from any reasonable live opportunities, this debut release from Athens GA’s Venice Is Sinking seemed a long time coming, but well worth the wait. Until now, my appreciation for the group […]

Check out this quote from Wasif’s press bio in reference to the new album out on Kill Rock Stars : “It’s meant for the late night vibe or the early morning fear.” Sold. The verdict: uber-chill. Lots of songs […]
