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 to hear backed up by […]

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 to date. Aided by the […]
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 Bob Dylan on a pedestal?” I like […]
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 directed by Andy Bruntel. DOWNLOAD:MP3: […]
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 albums you purchased the past […]
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 Meany” is one of the […]
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 quilt out of the same […]
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 the masterful Allen Toussaint) out […]
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 stave off the anticipation just […]
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 a love lost. Girl writes […]
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 the 19 year old’s sound […]
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 and funny like that (moreso […]
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 on my “list,” I had […]
The Meters :: Under The Funky Covers
I have posted twice on The Meters since An Aquarium Drunkard’s inception, both were Live shows (that you still can, and should, download below under ‘Related Posts’), but this will be the first post on any studio […]
