Superchunk :: Leaves In The Gutter

SuperchunkPosted on

Really, could there be a better moment for new Superchunk sounds than during the 20th anniversary of the record label they founded? Not hardly. But it's also been over seven years since the last release of any new music from the band, so anything at this point is welcome. The band's last two full-length LPs of new material - 1999's Come . . .

The New York Times on The Grateful Dead

Grateful DeadPosted on

Last week the New York Times ran a piece dissecting the appreciation/levels/fandom of the Grateful Dead.   Excerpt:

...I asked when he thought the Dead reached its peak, game to try out a half-formed argument for 1975, or thereabouts.   “Well, I agree with the people who say it was May 8, 1977,” he . . .

Lake Inferior :: S/T EP

Lake InferiorPosted on

As rock & roll gets older - really as any medium of art gets older - the questions start amassing about where there is left to explore once more and more corners of a once dimly lit room are illuminated. What once seemed unlimited is now boxed neatly with walls - sturdy, supportive and finite.   What's a good decorator to do? One option is to create the illusion of more space, and one of the easiest ways to do this is to place broad mirrors at the end of a room. They provide the illusion of depth and space, making the room . . .

Long Shots :: Justin Townes Earle & Jason Isbell

Jason Isbell Justin Townes Earle Long ShotsPosted on

(Long Shots, a new feature on Aquarium Drunkard, asks some of our favorite artists to interview one another. Think of it as listening in on a good conversation.)

Jason Isbell: How's the tour going, Justin?

Justin Townes Earle: It's going pretty good I think.

JI: How did you like sitting in a van for 24 hours this week?

JTE: It was actually one of the most relaxing times I’ve had in the past two years of touring. Nobody could call me because my phone died and I just sat there watched the Simpsons all day.

JI: That sounds pretty nice; we should've followed you guys.

JTE: How was your Oklahoma City?

JI: You know it was pretty good. I just slept in Oklahoma City, but then on the way back here we stopped at a casino in New Mexico in Albuquerque and I won about $350 bucks playing cards. I was pretty happy

JTE: You can’t beat that.

JI: Yeah it was a good thing. So yeah, alright the tours going well... I wrote some questions down; you want me to ask you one of them?

JTE: Sure go for it.

C86 :: A Moment, A Movement

C86Posted on

It doesn't happen that often - and now in the winter of the album format, it could happen even less - but occasionally a song compilation can give shape to something unique and nameless. It has to pull together strains of music that are emerging or are bubbling below the surface and give it a narrative thread. Put together, the songs show a similar focus or sound, similar lyrical themes or vocal delivery, some series of events that lock onto one another. Movements are born this way; moments are documented.
