Timber Timbre :: Woman
Keeping with this Tom Waits / Morphine “low rock” noir vibe for a minute, check out Timber Timbre’s “Woman,” both the track and the accompanying video culled from the Creep On Creepin . […]
Tom Waits :: Clap Hands (The Big Time Theatrical Concert)
I enjoy a good magic trick, a bit of slight of hand. I enjoy an entertainer–a changeling, a shapeshifter, a master of ceremonies. While there are fewer and fewer artists […]
Mount Moriah :: Only Way Out
You wouldn’t be wrong to categorize North Carolina’s Mount Moriah as “Country Rock,” but might I suggest the term “Southern” be used instead. While the songs are often set in motion by […]
Cure For Pain: The Mark Sandman Story (The AD Interview)
Compared to his contemporaries, Morphine’s Mark Sandman came off like more of an out-of-place beat poet than the zeitgeist’s ‘slacker’ guitar sound of the day. With a presence tapped in to […]
Wendell Stuart & The Downbeaters
Nick at Ghost Capital must have read my mind as he just shared Wendell Stuart & The Downbeaters, a Bahamian soul LP I’ve been searching for the past two months having caught […]
Amédé Ardoin :: Mama, I’ll Be Long Gone: The Complete Recordings, 1929-1934
Certain strands of rockist kids grow up saying that their favorite music is “anything but rap or country.” For the teenager of the 1990s in Southern Louisiana, the silent addendum […]
The Rolling Stones :: We Love You (Dandelion A-side)

Jacqueline Taieb :: 7 Heures du Matin
Cut in 1967, “7 Heures du Matin” follows Jacqueline Taieb’s morning as she fantasizes about Paul McCartney (though it’s The Who’s “My Generation” she riffs on) and spins Elvis records. While readily […]
Wheedle’s Groove :: The AD Interview
Filmmaker Jennifer Maas dedicated the last half of the decade chronicling the Seattle soul scene of the 1970s. Her efforts culminate in the new documentary Wheedle’s Groove . A project that began […]
Lee Hazlewood :: Love and Other Crimes
Shortly after the release of the million-selling Nancy & Lee , Lee Hazlewood exercised his newfound clout with Reprise and headed to Paris to record a new solo album. Along for the […]
Ry Cooder & Manuel Galban :: Drume Negrita
I’m a firm believer that sometimes you find songs and sometimes songs find you. This one in particular found me last week while in New Orleans—at about 10:30 am—in the […]
SIRIUS/XMU :: Aquarium Drunkard Show
Our weekly two hour show on SIRIUS/XMU , channel 35, can now be heard twice, every Friday – Noon EST with an encore broadcast at Midnight EST. SIRIUS 193: Jean Michel […]
So Many Wizards :: Inner City
The reward of sticking with your favorite local acts as they find their voice is both thrilling and challenging. Being so, I’m happy to say Los Angeles’s So Many Wizards have continued to […]
Turquoise Wisdom: Heavy Summer Nights (A Mixtape)
