The Last Next Place: Sanjay Mishra and Jerry Garcia, 1994-1995

Blanks And Postage Jerry GarcaPosted on

(…the latest entry of ‘blanks and postage’—author jesse jarnow’s irregular column for aquarium drunkard highlighting the fringe and beyond.)

Sanjay Mishra’s colleague
warned him about the corporate spies and that he should be careful. The call
for an appointment had come from Washington, DC’s Four Seasons hotel, and only
corporate spies stayed there. It had to be somebody from DuPont, maybe Exxon.
“We’re sending them to you, can you deal with it . . .

Richard Hell and the Voidoids :: Destiny Street Complete

Richard HellPosted on

One more stroll down Destiny Street? Sure, why not? Ever since its release in 1982, Richard Hell has been dissatisfied with his second and final album with the Voidoids. The double-disc Destiny Street Complete is likely his last attempt at getting it right, presenting the original album, a re-do, a remix, and raw demos . . .

Pearl Charles :: Magic Mirror

Pearl CharlesPosted on

Los Angeles singer-songwriter Pearl Charles makes Californian country music that at once recalls the burnt orange horizon of a Mojave sunset and the navy tint of the Pacific Ocean. Charles' previous efforts have also pulled from the sounds of the '60s and '70s, but while they drew from the agitated sensibilities of garage and surf rock, her second full length Magic Mirror puts an outlaw spin on nocturnal disco, sounding something like the Band producing ABBA . . .

Bob Frank :: Within a Few Degrees

Bob FrankPosted on

Bob Frank popped up in the early 1970s with a beautifully downbeat LP of finely rendered downer folk for Vanguard Records. And then, he dropped from view almost entirely. But a small coterie of admirers (such as legendary producer Jim Dickinson) kept the flame alive, leading to a low-key early 2000s comeback. Frank passed away recently, but his legacy has been bolstered considerably by the newly released Within a Few Degrees . . .

Gwenifer Raymond :: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview

Gwenifer Raymond The AD InterviewPosted on

Gwenifer Raymond is a virtuoso guitar player, born in Wales but extraordinarily adept in the American Primitive tradition, which she learned from Stefan Grossman tab books, John Hurt records and a guitar teacher who introduced her to John Fahey. Her latest album, Strange Lights Over Garth Mountain, is steeped in folk and blues, but imbued with a bit of Welsh folkloric strangeness, which she distinguishes from other UK traditions for its violence and its dark humor . . .
