Month: January 2007

Gruff Rhys :: Candylion

Posted on January 30, 2007February 2, 2007

Last Friday night —  to and from the Of Montreal show —   Zapp Brannigan’s automobile was filled with the acoustic sounds of Gruff Rhys latest, and second solo album, Candylion . Have you listened to this yet? Neither had I, but it is […]

M. Ward w/ Jim James :: Magic Trick (alt)

Posted on January 29, 2007February 5, 2007

This track is brought to us courtesy of So Much Silence for taking the time to rip the audio from vinyl to mp3 format. Thank you, sir. The vinyl I received is a limited edition 7’€³ via Fader so […]

Jesse Sykes And The Sweet Hereafter

Posted on January 29, 2007February 2, 2007

A few years ago a friend of mine returned from a business trip to Seattle with tales of former Whiskeytown guitarist Phil Wandscher’s latest project. This turned out to be working with Jesse Sykes in their newly minted band The […]

Of Montreal :: El Rey, Los Angeles 1.26.07

Posted on January 28, 2007August 22, 2007

It’s raining like a sum bitch out there tonight, and I’m about out the door with a big umbrella , but before I head out for the night I want to encourage anyone with even […]

Submarines Live @ Aquarium Drunkard Show

Posted on January 25, 2007February 4, 2007

Blake Hazard, one half of L.A.’s songwriting pop duo The Submarines , stopped by the show yesterday and played a couple of tunes for us on the acoustic before doing an eclectic guest DJ set. Not only […]

Catherine Howe :: What a Beautiful Place

Posted on January 23, 2007January 26, 2007

Are you down with the Numero Group ? If not, get hip, as they are just one of the many, many great labels that have sprung up the past few years specializing in obscure reissues and deep-crate […]

Sloan :: Never Hear the End of It

Posted on January 23, 2007

My exposure to Nova Scotia’s power-pop outfit Sloan was a reverse and catch-up affair as they have steadily flown below the radar in the U.S. — even in “indie” terms. Perhaps the flood the past four […]

The Shins :: Wincing the Night Away

Posted on January 23, 2007January 23, 2007

Without a doubt The Shins Wincing the Night Away was the leak of 2006 — and for good reason.               Mercer and company have done it again, and I must agree with the early reviewers who noted that Wincing moves the band into a […]

Hissing Fauna Are You the Destroyer

Posted on January 23, 2007January 23, 2007

This is not your older brother’s Of Montreal . After one listen to the group’s latest, Hissing Fauna Are You The Destroyer , fans of Of Montreal prior to 2004’s Satanic Panic In The Attic will be shocked to learn this is the same outfit that […]

The Mooney Suzuki :: Maximum Black EP

Posted on January 22, 2007January 23, 2007

Here is a blast from the recent past. This past fall V2 re-released The Mooney Suzuki’s 1999 tour-only Black EP with five extra tracks pulled from the original recording sessions. This is fine, fine neo-garage. Along with the track additions […]

Elvis Perkins :: Ash Wednesday

Posted on January 20, 2007January 29, 2007

Kevin from So Much Silence turned me on to Elvis Perkins during his last trip to L.A. Thank you, sir. After reading a brief bio of Perkins, it’s easy to see where he is coming from in terms of his lyrical content. […]

Lee Hazlewood :: Saccharine Underground

Posted on January 20, 2007February 17, 2007

Yesterday Stereogum posted a track off the upcoming Lee Hazelwood album Cake or Death . More importantly, for me, they shed the sad news of Lee Hazelwood’s reported diagnosis of terminal renal cancer. My fandom, while only a few years old, runs deep. The man is […]

Now Podcasting :: Episode 22

Posted on January 20, 2007January 26, 2007

First off: The A.D. podcast has been up since last spring and has grown to attract about 1,800 listeners each week. BUT, I do have a problem. I am hoping one of you may have a solution to and/or advice. […]

Meters :: Live @ The Showboat Lounge 1977

Posted on January 19, 2007February 6, 2007

In contiuuing with the string of New Orleans related posts until Mardi Gras, here is a Meters show from 1977 I posted on last January as part of the original Live Upload Series. Look for another Meters live […]

Captain Beefheart :: Safe as Milk

Posted on January 18, 2007January 26, 2007

Captain Beefheart’s 1967 debut, Safe as Milk , has had a firm hold on my ears the past couple of weeks — namely because I just recently replaced my old copy with the remastered version (complete with added bonus […]
