Welcome to Retro TV Themes Revisited, an on-going AD feature that aims to mine our long-running collection of past television (aural) glories – they just aren’t making them like they used to. Have at it […]
Month: January 2008
Harold & Maude :: Official Soundtrack (Vinyl)
This is one of the more exciting press releases we’ve come across in a good while, as one of the very first AD posts was lamenting the lack of an official soundtrack for Cat Stevens’ Harold and Maude soundtrack. For vinyl enthusiasts, […]
Bon Iver :: For Emma, Forever Ago
It’s been a long time coming, but Wisconsin soul-folkie Bon Iver’s debut LP, For Emma, Forever Ago , will be released on the Jagjaguwar label February 19th. A number of you may have seen the album pop up . . . Only […]
Evelyn You Know My Heart’s With You…
After a considerable silence, there has been a lot of My Morning Jacket news so far in 2008. First and foremost, details were revealed about the bands next album (it’s been awhile too, as Z came out in the […]
Drive-By Truckers :: Brighter Than Creation’s Dark
Drugs, desperation, suicide, Alabama-born bed-time stories, and quirky southern character studies — a little bit country and a whole lot of rock ‘n roll. In other words, a Drive-By Truckers album. Tomorrow, the Truckers will release their […]
The Meters :: Live NYC @ The Bottomline 1977
I acquired this 1977 Meters show in 2000 along with the Showboat Lounge show that was posted earlier in the week. At the time — and this still may be the case — locating quality live documents from the band’s […]
Before Uncle Tupelo :: The Primitives (1985)
I’m not sure what I like better about this video; it’s clearly a toss up between the guy, covered in fake blood, flailing around on the stage, or Jeff Tweedy , on bass, wearing a dress. I’m […]
Off The Record :: Patterson Hood (Athens, GA)
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 […]
White Hinterland :: Dreaming of The Plum Tree
Casey Dienel , one of our favorite discoveries of the past couple of years, returns this March, via her new home at the Dead Oceans label, fronting her newly christened group, White Hinterland . Chris at Gorilla vs Bear premiered the first single “Dreaming […]

And Everything I do Is Funky Like Lee Dorsey
Continuing with the New Orleans posts through Fat Tuesday: Lee Dorsey’s Yes We Can . A frequent AD reader and I were just discussing this album a few weeks ago. In a word, it’s the tits. Go ahead, […]
AD Presents :: Jason Isbell (Spaceland, 1.25.08)
Just a reminder that, tomorrow night, January 25th, Aquarium Drunkard presents Jason Isbell and his band, the 400 Unit, live at Spaceland , with special guest Will Hoge . We have three pairs of tickets to give away to AD readers. […]
Mark Kozelek :: What’s Next To The Moon
With all this talk of Sun Kil Moon’s forthcoming album, April, set to release in a little over two months, we spent part of last weekend re-ingesting a few albums from Mark Kozelek’s existing catalog, including one of our favorites, […]
Barton Carroll :: Pretty Girls & Brooklyn Girls
There is always a dearth of new music the last couple of months of the year, so when January finally hits, and the new releases do start rolling out, it’s both welcome and, depending of […]
The Meters :: Live @ The Showboat Lounge, 1977
In continuing with the string of New Orleans related posts leading up to Mardi Gras, here is a Meters show from 1977 I’ve posted on the Drunkard the past two January’s. Call it tradition. Look for […]
