I am by no means a fan of Pearl Jam, so the Eddie Vedder scored soundtrack, for Sean Penn’s (excellent) new film, Into The Wild , did nothing for me. But I did love the use […]
Month: September 2007
Morrissey, You’re Killing Me
Just got back from a lunch meeting (at the Mama Mia cafe, on Vermont. Go for the breakfast…delish), and the conversation turned to Morrissey’s upcoming, Los Angeles, muti-night stint, effectively closing the Hollywood Palladium (est. 1940). And, by […]

Our weekly two hour show on SIRIUS , channel 26 Left Of Center , can now be heard twice, every Friday – Noon EST and then an encore broadcast at Midnight EST. Below is this week’s playlist. SIRIUS 017: […]
Neil Young :: Dead Man (OST)
Are you William Blake? Yes, I am. Do you know my poetry? – Dead Man (1995) The crux of this post is the unreleased acoustic/electric theme from Jim Jarmusch’s film Dead Man , which, oddly, did not appear […]
Of Montreal :: Harvest Moon (Neil Young Cover)
Thanks to our friends at Polyvinyl for hooking us up with this track off the upcoming digital only Of Montreal EP. If you have seen the band over the past year, you very well may have heard their […]
The Everybodyfields :: Nothing Is Okay
Last month, after countless recommendations from both friends and acquaintances, I finally sat down with a copy of The Everybodyfields latest LP Nothing Is Okay . I’m happy to report that its modern take on depression-era country and folk lived […]
Bob Pollard :: To Release New Record(s) Oct 9th
As You An’t No Picasso mentioned, Robert Pollard is set to release, not one, but two albums later this year, Coast To Coast Carpet Of Love, and Standard Gargoyle Decisions. Prolific, yes, but really, as the Pollard faithful know, it would […]
The Byrds :: Sweetheart Of The Rodeo
I’ve danced around posting on this watershed album for two-plus years now — all the while featuring a variety of its players ( Gram Parsons , Chris Hillman , etc.) solo work, as well as their work on various other projects […]
Trojan Records 40th Anniversary :: In Fine Style
Over the past month, Aquarium Drunkard has teamed up with the classic reggae/dub label, Trojan Records , to help commemorate the their 40th anniversary. As any genre aficionado will tell you, when it comes to this shit, […]
Soul Jazz Records Presents :: Brazil ’70
Boom. The Soul Jazz label (gladly) continues to take our money — this time it’s in the form of Brazil ’70 , the follow up to last years Tropicalia :: A Brazilian Revolution in Sound compilation. Released (stateside) September 18th, Brazil ’70 is dripping with the […]
Iron & Wine :: The Shepherd’s Dog
Upon their release, Iron & Wine’s debut, The Creek Drank The Cradle , and its subsequent EP, The Sea & The Rhythm , at first listen, felt like home. Sam Beam’s eclectic, seemingly, backwoods musical vision appealed to me in the same way Will Oldham’s best […]
Emmylou Harris :: Reflecting – 2007 Q+A
Yes, browsing an issue of Fader magazine can often seem like one big hipster lifestyle advertisement, but, and this is a big but, they do often have some good content if you are willing to dig. This […]
Off The Record :: Rosie Thomas (Seattle, WA)
Off The Record is a recurring, feature here on the Drunkard, that marries two of my greatest interests; music and travel. Having a locals perspective when visiting a new locale is the difference between […]
Fugazi :: Instrument
I recently re-watched (and re-listened to) the Fugazi documentary Instrument from 1999. Unlike the majority of Discord artists, Fugazi remain one band whose music, despite having been a fan for close to 17 years, never seems to lose […]
Midlake :: Los Angeles @ The Henry Fonda Theatre
Midlake’s “Roscoe” was our favorite single of 2006 , so we are more than a little excited to see the Denton, TX band pay a visit to the Henry Fonda Theatre Tuesday night. We have threepairs of tickets to give away, so if […]
