Eef Barzelay :: Two Tickets To Paradise (Cover)
About a year ago I caught the reunited Clem Snide at a club show here in L.A. The band was touring behind the release of Hungry Bird , which while recorded in 2006, prior to the band’s split, was […]

Talking Heads :: Saratoga Performing Arts Center, NY August 1983
1983 was was an incredibly fertile year for the the Talking Heads . The companion album to Jonathan Demme’s Stop Making Sense made an effort at capturing the band’s live mojo, but due to its length (neutered at nine tracks) […]
The Wall Re-Built :: Papercuts/The Amazing Cover Pink Floyd
The Wall . Bloated and self-indulgent, yet near perfect in its execution. Though I was only 4 years old when Pink Floyd first executed its extensive stage show in 1980, the concept album’s legacy began to pervade my […]
Caribou :: Odessa
The Ruby Suns , The Tallest Man On Earth …and now Caribou (née Dan Snaith). So far, not even a month into 2010, a number of artists I consider favorites have been dropping mp3 nuggets from their forthcoming records. Caribou’s “Odessa,” the first taste […]
The Tallest Man On Earth :: King of Spain

Blair :: Die Young
Die Young is an intimidating title for a debut full-length. It casts a lot of weight about its small frame – a twelve song package of deceptively airy and sprightly vocals spun around a churning, rhythmic […]
The Quick :: Mondo Deco (Reissued)
I was first turned on to the Quick several years ago when Dave Newton and I had radio shows back to back at the now defunct Little Radio loft studios in the warehouse district of downtown L.A. Dave’s show […]
AD Presents :: Girls/Magic Kids/Smith Westerns, NOLA Feb 2nd
Books of Moses (Skip Spence Cover)
If you have an Internet connection you’ve heard about Beck’s ongoing Record Club . We featured the first installment (Beck and assorted friends covering The Velvet Underground & Nico) back in August. I love that album—there’s no telling how many times I’ve […]
