Recently, sitting in a dark booth of a non-descript bar in a non-descript portion of Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, I was listening to the unashamed (and awesome) time-traveling selection of Los Angeles DJ Dr. […]

Paul Westerberg :: 49:00
Paul Westerberg’s post- Replacements career has been an interesting one and listeners have dithered back and forth on the merits of each solo release, no two coming to a consensus on any one of them. But it was […]
Chris Bell :: I Am The Cosmos
This post actually began as a Sevens piece reflecting on Chris Bell’s single “I Am The Cosmos” – that is until I realized we had never discussed the album proper on AD in the past. For […]
Off The Record :: Human Highway (Toronto)
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 Walkmen :: In The New Year (c/o You & Me)
Alright, so 2006’s A Hundred Miles Off was…well, a bit off; and the follow-up Pussy Cats , a practically note for note rendition of Harry Nilsson’s
James Jackson Toth :: Waiting In Vain
Letting go of the Wooden Wand handle (at least for now), James Jackson Toth’s solo debut, Waiting In Vain, steers clear of the psychedelic folk jams of his former outfit in favor of fairly straight-ahead, soul-infused, roots […]
Ben Weaver :: Ax In The Oak
“Ben Weaver is the most exciting young songwriter I’ve come across – an American original whose voice and guitar are matched only by the power of his words. His songs are an incredible, haunting gift […]
J. Tillman :: Now Available Via Autumn Tone
Since 2004, ( Fleet Foxes ) J. Tillman has quietly been releasing records, some of limited quantity, some mostly available in Europe, but for the most part, unheard. The borderline-alienating starkness and well lived-in narratives of his first two […]
Liz Phair :: The Juvenilia EP (1995)
I truly loved Liz Phair’s early stuff, and the recent ATO reissue of her Matador lo-fi debut – the still-excellent Exile In Guyville – only reinforced my appreciation. While I can’t necessarily speak to the quality of her last few […]
Roy Buchanan :: Live Stock (Town Hall, NYC 1974)
I am hesitant to refer to anyone in their field of study as “an unknown,” – no matter if it’s in reference to a painter, director, or guitarist. But in many circles, when the late […]
SIRIUS Radio :: Aquarium Drunkard Show
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 57: […]
Dennis Wilson :: Pacific Ocean Blue
After this Summer has come and gone I’ll think back to what I was listening to at the time and the reissue of Dennis Wilson’s Pacific Ocean Blue will most definitely be at the top […]
Aquarium Drunkard Presents :: NOMO @ Spaceland
August 3rd: Touring behind their new (and excellent) LP Ghost Rock , Aquarium Drunkard presents Ann Arbor, Michigan’s NOMO at Spaceland . I was introduced to this band by chance in 2006 at SXSW when I, literally, stumbled . . […]
