Decade :: Mclusky, The Difference Between Me and You Is That I’m Not On Fire (2004)

Decade McluskyPosted on

What is it that makes us want to deconstruct art by units of time? Lists. We love making them. We love arguing over them. And here, on the verge of a new decade, we’re in a position to do the same again. What were the best albums of the past ten years?

Here at AD, we started talking it through and decided we weren’t going to add to the cacophony of lists being put out by various music pubs. There are enough of those. Rather, we elected to let our four main writers have a chance to write . . .

Ernie Graham :: S/T 1971

Ernie Graham Rising StormPosted on

Ernie Graham was a member of Eire Apparent, whose claim to fame was their Sunrise album, produced by Jimi Hendrix. His brilliant 1971 solo record often gets the 'pub rock' tag, but sounds closer to genuine Americana, like The Band record that never was. It doesn't feel like most pub rock (even considering Nick Lowe's Brinsley Schwarz filled out the backing band); it may just be because Graham hailed from England that . . .

A Brazilian Tribute To Guided By Voices

Guided By VoicesPosted on

Yeah, so the new Boston Spaceships LP is the shit. Doubters and skeptics need to seriously step up and give old uncle Bob a listen.   In other GBV news we just profiled Isolation Drills, sooo this seems like as good a time as any to post a couple tracks from Don't Stop Now the new Brazilian tribute . . .

Sgt Dunbar :: Everything Is, Pt III

Sgt Dunbar and the Hobo BannedPosted on

Sgt Dunbar's Hobo Banned may be a collective form Albany, NY but their sound is more akin to the strange bouillabaisse that's been brewing in the New Orleans Bywater neighborhood of late: 2 parts continental gypsy, 1 part Balkan folk, a pinch of Swordfishtrombones, with a healthy dash of On Avery Island.

Over the past couple of months I've been spinning

Tropicî¡lia: Ou Panis Et Circenses

TropicaliaPosted on

Not just another compilation.   Tropicî¡lia, or Tropicalismo, was at once a response to military dictatorship and an attempt to expand Brazilian music by infusing ideas from all parts of the globe, even so far as an attempt to create a 'universal music.' This monumental compilation is the work of a like minded collective - radicals that would subvert and forever change the art and politics of Brazil, specifically Gilberto Gil, become a member or log in.
