Atlas Sound :: Walk A Thin Line (Fleetwood Mac)
One has to appreciate life’s small synchronicities. I’ve recently been binging on Fleetwood Mac’s 1979 Tusk album, and today (if you haven’t noticed around the world wide web) Atlas Sound posted a cover of the LP’s “Walk A Thin […]
The Replacements :: Can’t Hardly Wait (Cont’d)
There are some really interesting comments in yesterday’s Sevens post on the Mats “Can’t Hardly Wait.” Worth a read if you’re a Replacements fan. An AD reader sent us yet another version of the track culled from the […]
Sevens :: The Replacements, Can’t Hardly Wait

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 […]
