Dwight YoakamPosted on

While he won't have Will Oldham in tow (how great is the above rendering of the two?) when it comes to cool capital, Dwight Yoakam has plenty to spend. Aquarium Drunkard has five pairs of tickets to give away to AD readers for the July 27th Dwight Yoakam date at the Greek Theatre here in Los Angeles.

The Fourth of July :: Springsteen Style (10 tracks)

Bruce SpringsteenPosted on

The 4th of July is almost here, and while I’ll be taking in an Angels game out in Anaheim with my dad (how American is that? Fathers, baseball, and Disneyland?), I figured it would be best to leave you all with a few deep cuts from America’s poet, Bruce Springsteen. Sure sure, everyone knows “Born in the U.S.A.,” “Born to Run,” “Born Dancing in the Dark,” “Born on Thunder Road,” “Born . . .

Silver Jews :: Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea

“Why Can’t There Be More Suffering?”

George CarlinPosted on

"I wish no public service of any kind." Those were George Carlin's wishes regarding his death. Burial rites and, well, rites of any kind, were exactly the kind of befuddlement that he would--and did--cut down to size with his unapologetic wit. Given the nature of the media and the congregation of the Internet today, publishing obituaries and "in memoriam" montages are a public service of a certain kind, even if that's not how he meant it when he said that in 1990. Even further, in . . .

STAX :: Does The Beatles (A Compilation)

Otis Redding STAXPosted on

Released earlier this year, STAX Does The Beatles compiles tracks recorded between 1966-1972 rounding up Beatles cover versions from the Memphis label's creative peak. Essential? Not really, but to no fault of the artists, as covering the Beatles is about as close as one can get to musically tripping over your own feet. Having said that the collection is absolutely an interesting listen for become a member or log in.

His new album, In Field & Town, is instrumentally his most fully realized to date.

Sebadoh :: Bubble And Scrape (Reissue)

SebadohPosted on

This, the reissue of Bubble And Scrape, is the sound of inevitability. Like various '90s indie rock contemporaries before them, the Sebadoh reissues continue to gradually creep out; complete with a healthy dose of extras (15 tracks), which, by now, are practically a reissue prerequisite. Listening with fresh ears - 15 years after its release - I'm struck by, with its various stylistic changes, the . . .
