R.E.M. @ Stubb’s :: Post-SXSW Re-cap, Pt 2
Wednesday, after Gorilla vs. Booze , like every night during SXSW , there were choices to be made on where to go and who to see. Actually, I should say there were choices to be made by other folks, […]
Pogues :: If I Should Fall From Grace With God
I’m not Irish, but who can’t get behind a celebration like St. Patrick’s Day? Any day that celebrates a man like Patricius – kidnapped by pirates, banisher of snakes, bringer of drunken holidays – sounds alright […]

Bash & Pop :: Friday Night is Killing Me
Seems lately I’ve had to be up early on Saturday after Saturday after Saturday. Tomorrow being no different, I, of course, gravitated toward “Friday Night Is Killing Me” by Bash and Pop . Tommy Stinson’s first post- Replacements project, Bash and Pop , also […]

Neil Hamburger :: Sings Country Winners
No matter if its Ween’s 12 Golden Country Greats , or The Statler Brothers ’70s country farce, Lester “Roadhog” Moran & The Cadillac Cowboys , country music is often cannon fodder for, let’s say, witty interpretation. The latest to throw his hat in the ring […]
Devendra Banhart :: Always Something Happening
If you happen to tune in to either one of the Aquarium Drunkard radio shows (that would be SIRIUS and/or Little Radio ) you can expect to see this track, in an upcoming playlist, in a few weeks […]
Jesse Malin :: Walk On The Wild Side
Like some of you, I suffer from a condition that involves me personally investigating just about every Velvets, or Lou Reed, cover I can get my hands on — I have fuel/friends specifically to thank for […]
Pere Ubu :: Dub Housing (1978)
Please welcome AD’s (now) semi-regular contributor, J. Neas, as he reflects on the seminal, if misunderstood, Pere Ubu’s Dub Housing LP. As I read this I was reminded of first hearing the band, as they opened for […]
Buddy Miles :: Dem Changes (R.I.P.)
Between travel, and gearing up for sxsw later this week, things have been busy around the AD camp, of late, but I would be remiss if I failed to get a little something up here regarding […]
Off The Record :: Kelley Stoltz (San Francisco, CA)
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 experiencing […]
The Stranglers :: No More Heroes (RE: Eliot Spitzer)
We’re used to politicians being crooked, but it always hurts a little more when someone you think might actually be on the up-and-up comes down as Eliot Spitzer did today . Is, as the Seafarer stated, all glory tarnished? Good […]
