Elvis Costello :: Green Shirt/Party Girl – 1979
Let’s first address the 800 lb gorilla in the room: Elvis Costello’s catalog has notoriously, in the last decade, been reissued, repackaged, re-reissued, re-repackaged, and then some…if you’re keeping score the latest […]
The Grand Archives :: Via Seattle
We’ve been keeping loose tabs on the progress of this album since the news broke that Band of Horses co-founder, Mat Brooke, was leaving the band in the hands of Ben Bridwell (following […]
Liz Durrett/Vic Chesnutt :: Somewhere (Cover)
Check, check…any Italian readers in the house today? If so, heads up, Liz Durrett is presently touring Italy — possibly in a town near you. I’ve seen Durrett, live, twice now, once […]

I’m presently doing a bit of music supervision for an independent film, set in west Texas, and have been looking for the right mood for certain scenes. Not so much […]
Waylon Jennings :: Honky Tonk Heroes (1973)
The great Texas singer-songwriter, Holden Rushing, first turned me on to this album in his Venice beach abode during his three year stint out here in Los Angeles. Much obliged, […]
The Magnetic Fields :: Distortion
The news last year that Stephen Merritt’s next Magnetic Fields LP was to be coated in a thick slather of distortion, a la Jesus & The Mary Chain’s Psychocandy , seemed to elicit […]
Throw Me The Statue :: Moonbeams
Throw Me A Statues’s upcoming LP, Moonbeams, was the only album I listened to over the course of the weekend, and it’s now carrying me into the new week. A good album will do that. […]
