Crosby, Stills & Nash :: Revisiting Guinnevere
It’s no secret I have an interest in the late sixties, early seventies Laurel Canyon/L.A. music scene; even today, living in Los Angeles, you occasionally catch a glimpse of its past, be it an aging […]
The Besnard Lakes :: Are the Dark Horse
As you may have guessed from previous SXSW entries, as a whole, my favorite *night* of music, in retrospect, would have to have been the Secretly Canadian – Jagjaguwar showcase. No surprise there as they are, collectively, one of […]

Last week in Austin I was often asked what I’ve been listening to lately. My reply was/is: this excellent, yet shitty sounding, bootleg compilation of vinyl rips of 1960s French Freakbeat tracks I happened upon about […]
Bob Dylan :: Don’t Look Back (Deluxe DVD)
I spent last night taking the alternate cut of D.A. Pennebaker’s career defining Dylan documentary Don’t Look Back, which is included in the – just released – Don’t Look Back deluxe DVD package . Entitled ’65 Revisited , the film is made up of outtakes […]

Gonzalez / O’Halloran :: Solo Piano
Oddly, I stumbled upon the U.S. release of Gonzalez’s Solo Piano album, and Dustin O’Halloran’s 2000 album Piano Solos , within two days of one another. Funny how these things often happen. Serendipity, indeed. I had received . . . Only […]

When I think I of Gospel music, two things from my childhood immediately come to mind: 1) the old-timey Gospel vinyl records my grandparents would play on their aged, multi-disc, turntable after church while preparing […]
