While traveling through Atlanta this summer, the little lady and I took in the Sonic Youth/Be Your Own Pet show at midtown’s Centerstage theatre. You can read about that here. Post-show […]

Lions In The Street :: Camaro-Rock
You know what, fuck it, in the spirit of Howlin’ Rain, let’s just keep kicking out these ’70s styled jams. Lions In The Street just released an EP full of the garage rock you might expect […]
Danielson :: Ships
A voice only a mother could love (and thousands of underground music fans.) Whimsical and experimental, Danielson’s latest full-length is also the collective’s strongest and arguably Daniel Smith’s most inviting work […]
Cash/ Will Oldham :: Under The Dark Covers
Bob Dylan On A Bicycle?
This month the man formerly known as Robert Zimmerman will release his forty-fourth album entitled Modern Times . News of the release led to asking myself the question: “do I hold […]
Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy :: Cursed Sleep
I truly believe this may be the greatest video I have seen in years. The new Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy release, “The Letting Go”, cannot come out fast enough. Will Oldham rides again. Video […]
The Jesus & Mary Chain :: The Reissues
The influence of Glascow’s The Jesus & Mary Chain cannot be denied — their distinct brand of lush, thick feedback and distorted noise can be found on half of the […]
Jim Noir :: Tower of Love
Admission: I’m no soccer-jock, so the constant references to one of Noir’s tunes being in the World Cup commercial are meaningless to me. But what I do know is that “Eanie […]
Hezekiah Jones :: Says You’re A-Ok
An Aquarium Drunkard holds anything released by Charlottesville, VA’s Yer Bird Records in high esteem, but this, the label’s fourth release, is by far it’s strongest. Yer Bird’s latest find, Philadelphia based Hezekiah Jones, weaves his musical […]
I Don’t Want To Go To (Chelsea)
It’s been a little over a week and a half now, and I still can’t get the sound-memory of Elvis Costello’s “I Don’t Want To Go To (Chelsea)” (backed and arranged by […]
Pavement :: Live at Shepherd’s Bush 1997
As a longtime Pavement devotee, the emerging details of the Matador Records Wowee Zowee reissue have me nearly frothing at the mouth. Nearly. In the meantime, a little live nuggett here and there should […]
Submarines :: Declare A New State!
L.A. based Submarines are Jack Drag & Blake Hazard and they have a story to tell. It goes something like this: Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy writes songs about […]
Beirut :: Postcards From Italy
Sometimes an artist emerges from the fray whose music winks at you like an old lover. I suspect I am not the only fan of Beirut (Zach Condon) to immediately connect […]
Golden Smog :: Another Fine Day
The more things change the more they stay the same. Somehow it doesn’t quite seem like these guys have been putting out albums for over a decade, but time can be fluid […]
Howe Gelb :: ‘Sno Angel Like You
Howe Gelb’s ‘Sno Angel Like You was a traveling gift from an old friend in Atlanta I had the pleasure of catching up with over beers earlier this Summer (thanks, John). While […]
