Month: September 2006

Anders Parker :: S/T Release

Posted on September 30, 2006

Anders Parker first graced the virtual pages of An Aquarium Drunkard back in May while Kevin , from So Much Silence, was guest posting while I was on the road for a couple of months. And a mighty fine taste it […]

Pogues :: If I Should Fall from Grace…

Posted on September 30, 2006

Irish lilt mixed with the attitude of early UK punk rock was what initially powered the The Pogues . Fronted by the (in)famous Shane MacGowan , The Pogues lifted traditional Irish music out of the gutter of past injecting […]

Neil Young :: London, England 2-27-71

Posted on September 29, 2006

Originally shared this live Neil Young set – from 1971 – on the Drunkard back in March, but revisited this week while prepping for a radio show. If you were not around these parts earlier […]

The Animals :: Animalism (Reissue)

Posted on September 29, 2006

The Animals don’t seem to garner the attention that some of the other early British Invasion bands of the sixties continue to reap. This is a powerful shame, as Eric Burdon and the band were tops at what they […]

Everyone Stares :: Inside The Police

Posted on September 28, 2006

Since the demise of The Police in 1984, Sting’s output has been rather, er, tame — I almost used “lackluster/boring”, but that is not quite right. It is, though, the the reason the “Adult Contemporary” category […]

Now Podcasting :: Episode 15

Posted on September 28, 2006

Welcome to Episode 15 of the podcast edition of The Aquarium Drunkard Show; airing live every Wednesday 2-4 p.m. at the Little Radio studios in downtown L.A. As requested, below is the tracklisting order for this week’s […]

William Elliott Whitmore :: Folker

Posted on September 27, 2006

I first came across this young, tattooed folk singer with the gravelly voice early last Spring on the recommendation of a friend over beers at SXSW. After checking out a few on his tunes online, I made a mental […]

Johnny Cash :: If I Were A Carpenter

Posted on September 25, 2006

I have heard many, many versions of this old tune, but it’s Johnny and June Carter Cash’s take on it that rings the truest. Related News ( via pitchfork): “Columbia/Legacy will reissue Johnny Cash’s first chart-topping album– […]

tvontheradio :: hollywoodbowl 9.24.06

Posted on September 25, 2006

Despite the enormity of the Hollywood Bowl, Tv On The Radio failed to disappoint the gathered masses. Opening for Massive Attack , whose performance seemed like an afterthought compared to the TVOTR experience, the group surprisingly translated their expansive sound to the […]

Pale Blue Eyes :: Re-revisted

Posted on September 24, 2006

In the Sex Beat post , a longtime reader mentioned how much they enjoy Alejandro Escovedo’s cover of The Velvet Underground classic “Pale Blue Eyes” (off the groups eponymous third LP . ) This led me to dig out my copy of the […]

Mick Harvey Hearts Monsieur Gainsbourg

Posted on September 23, 2006June 26, 2013

One thing on this blog tends to often lead to another. After my latest Serge Gainsbourg post, Will, from Be The Boy , turned me on to the pair of Serge covers albums that Mick Harvey released, Intoxicated Man and Pink Elephants. Former […]

Bert Jansch :: The Black Swan

Posted on September 22, 2006

News of Bert Jansch releasing a new album came at me from left field; and I about fell the fuck over when I heard one of my favorite labels, Drag City , was responsible for it’s release. This guy is, and has […]

Eponymous LPs :: Ben Kweller :: Lemonheads

Posted on September 21, 2006

True story. I knew so very little about Ben Kweller in 2002, that I went to his show at the Roxy to see My Morning Jacket open and then immediately split before his set. But truthfully, after all that early-period […]

Sex Beat :: Under The Covers

Posted on September 21, 2006

Alejandro Escovedo’s cover of Gun Club’s “Sex Beat” has been posted here before; been played more than once on my radio show as well. Why? Because like any good re-interpretation, it’s takes the song’s bare essence and spins it […]

Portastatic :: Be Still Please

Posted on September 20, 2006

If you were in the Research Triangle area, or surrounding states, in the early to mid ’90s, chances are you were a Superchunk fan. If so, this one’s for you. While it’s not Superchunk (it’s been 4 […]
