Funky Nassau: The Compass Point Story
What do Grace Jones , Tom Tom Club , Talking Heads and Sly Dunbar all have in common? Besides all being progenitors in their respective, then, nascent genres, they all recorded at Chris Blackwell’s Bahamanian Compass Point Studio and are part of […]

Screaming Lord Sutch :: Jack the Ripper
Yesterday, I received a twitter reply — in response the the sixties garage rock set — hailing the campy greatness that is Screaming Lord Sutch . For horror movie obsessed, kitschy, garage rock at its finest, I couldn’t agree […]
Dinosaur :: Kiss Me Again 12″ (Side A)
Arthur Russell died in 1992. Myth-making being what it is, nearly two decades after his death, the artist is presently more well known than he ever was during his lifetime. Typical. Over the past few months I’ve […]
’60s Choice Collection of Scarcest Garage Records
Like the sixties French Freakbeat compilation, Scarcest Garage Records (pt. 1 & 2) is a compilation I often frequent that has little to no information to be found online. In the 21st century, this fact alone adds […]
Beck’s Record Club :: Velvet Underground & Nico
One of the more interesting online novelties to pop up this summer has been the kickoff of Beck’s ongoing Record Club . If you have yet to check it out: in a nutshell, Beck invites a […]

Diversions :: Portugal. The Man on Sci-Fi: Surviving Childhood in Rural Alaska
( Diversions , a recurring feature on Aquarium Drunkard, catches up with our favorite artists as they wax on subjects other than recording and performing.) Thus far, Diversions has featured artists discussing, amongst other things, their […]
Lotus Plaza :: Dot Gain
The inevitability of impulse purchases. As if the physical CD/mp3s weren’t enough, in an inexplicable need to own the title in all three available formats, I went whole-hog several weeks ago and picked up the […]
Tonight In L.A. :: Le Switch, Roadside Graves and The World Record @ Spaceland
Roadside Graves have been traversing the wilds of the USA the past few weeks touring behind their new LP My Son’s Home, which, as I think I’ve mentioned, is thus far my favorite ‘roots’ based rock & […]
AD Presents :: The Henry Clay People’s Rock & Roll Summer Circus @ The Echoplex, L.A. August 14th
L.A.’s The Henry Clay People have been busy. As I write this they are presently on the road, somewhere in the Midwest, having just wrapped up their Daytrotter session in Iowa, now en route to Chicago to play the main […]
