Beachwood Sparks :: By Your Side (Sade Cover)
It’s really good to have these guys back. Last week while watching the ‘Beachwood All-Stars’ set at the Fleetwood Mac tribute in LA, I was reminded of how the band really knows its way around […]
A Place To Bury Strangers :: Worship
Within the first ten seconds of “Alone” we’re greeted with dive-bombing guitar noise, grenades, mortar shells, and what could be the sound of exploding furniture. These well-placed, beautiful mishaps could easily be focus-group working titles […]
Donnie & Joe Emerson :: Dreamin’ Wild
If you’re the type that haunts used record stores, it’s very likely you’ve come across the album art for Donnie & Joe Emerson’s teenage dream and sole release, 1979’s Dreamin’ Wild . A curio hanging on a […]
The Staple Singers :: Slippery People (Talking Heads, 1985)
Uh huh, it’s gonna be that kind of party: Staple Stingers ’85 rundown of Talking Heads’ ” Slippery People ” — the club mix. While Pops is obviously the man here – his vocals leading the call […]
Fela Kuti In Performance / Ginger Baker Footage (1971)
Netflix is currently streaming Ginger Baker In Africa , an incredibly loose documentary surrounding the British percussion wizard’s trip from Algeria to Lagos, Nigeria in November of 1971. And by ‘loose’ I mean 53 minutes of (ostensibly) amateur footage […]

Our weekly two hour show on SIRIUS/XMU , channel 35, can be heard twice every Friday — Noon EST with an encore broadcast at Midnight EST. Today, during the second hour, the STRUT Records crew guest dj’s from […]
Aquarium Drunkard Presents :: Lower Dens / Los Angeles & NOLA
Lower Dens is on the move. This month we’re presenting both the Los Angeles gig (June 30) at the Troubadour and this weekend’s date deep in the humidity belt, at One Eyed Jacks in New Orleans (June 23). We have eight […]
The Shadows :: Scotch On The Socks
Della Humphrey :: Don’t Make The Good Girls Go Bad
Della Humphrey’s voice is powerful and deliberate. Tastefully simple vocal runs blossom into wavering vibratos. She can launch into a full-on belt from not much more than a whisper. The command she has over her […]
Songs We Taught The Gories
In a sea of near constant reunions, the Gories 2010 North American run continues to remain one of the most fulfilling of the bunch. More of that, please. Which brings us to the following: Songs We Taught The Gories – […]
The Almighty Defenders :: I’m Coming Home
Revisiting this joint has been manna the past few weeks. If you missed it the first time around, Almighty Defenders is the unholy union of King Khan, Mark Sultan and the Black Lips. A different sort of […]
Lil’ Ed & The Soundmasters :: It’s A Dream
Greasy highlight culled from Numero Group’s Light: On The South Side , in its two and a half minutes “It’s A Dream’s” sinister groove rolls brown sugar molasses slow. An ominous funky blues from the second city anchored by an eight […]
SIRIUS/XMU :: Aquarium Drunkard Show (Noon EST, Channel 35)
Our weekly two hour show on SIRIUS/XMU , channel 35, can be heard twice every Friday — Noon EST with an encore broadcast at Midnight EST. SIRIUS 249: Jean Michel Bernard – Generique Stephane ++ Black […]
The Hygrades :: Rough Rider
This is third time I’ve referenced the Soundway compilation, The World Ends: Afro Rock & Psychedelia in 1970s Nigeria on pages of AD in the past two years. That alone should tell you something. Mad dividends, this one. Like Kukumbas “Respect” I noted The Hygrades “Rough Rider” on […]
