Jim White :: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview (Part One)

Jim White The AD InterviewPosted on

Few songwriters have the gift that Jim White has. Channeling the strange and weird side of life into song-stories that are as compelling and moving as they are sometimes disturbing, Jim has helped push the Southern-gothic genre into music and back out into the limelight. His latest album, Transnormal Skiperoo, is a continuation and expansion on his familiar themes.

Earlier this month, in coordination with Aquarium Drunkard, Jim took time out of his current tour to stop at Northeast Guilford High School . . .

The Black Angels :: Directions To See A Ghost

The Black AngelsPosted on

At times, epiphanies can be a slow process. I had been listening and re-listening to Directions to See a Ghost, the second LP from Austin, Texas’ The Black Angels, for a week at this point. The touchstones are obvious — their name is a Velvet Underground song reference after all and there is just too much fuzz to not think of My Bloody Valentine. But those names just seemed too obvious. I was hesitant to write this review using only those points for reference. I just wasn’t satisfied with my thought process.

Then came enlightenment.

Marianne Faithfull :: Stoned

Marianne Faithfull Rolling StonesPosted on

After first hearing her sing, Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham described Marianne Faithfull as "an angel with big tits." The rest of the world would soon come to know her via her take on early Stones material, and in an early tabloid sense, her very public relationship with Mick Jagger.

Listen below to Marianne's latter-era reworking of a couple of Stones covers, and if you haven't yet, be . . .

Tim Buckley :: Happy Sad (1969)

Tim BuckleyPosted on

Reverse engineering. It happens a lot when discovering music. You pick up one piece only to find it fell out of somewhere else. Son Volt was my introduction to Uncle Tupelo. Briano Eno my introduction to Roxy Music. And in a connection slightly different (well, very different) from those, Jeff Buckley was my introduction to Tim Buckley.

The parallels in father and son's life are eerie. Meteoric rises to success and tragic, young deaths. But

The Replacements :: The Reissues

The ReplacementsPosted on

This has been a pretty great year to be a fan of The Replacements. In addition to Jim Walsh's excellent book, All Over But the Shouting, the news had begun to circulate last year that the full catalogue would be getting the remastered/bonus track treatment this year. The first slate . . .

Dennis Wilson :: At Long Last…Bambu

Dennis WilsonPosted on

“The next album is a hundred times what Pacific Ocean Blue is. It kicks. It’s different in a way. I think I have more confidence now that I’ve completed one project, and I’m moving on to another” - Dennis Wilson (on the unreleased Bambu album)

Hayden :: In Field & Town

HaydenPosted on

The pinnacle of Hayden Desser's career thus far was his 2001 album, Skyscraper National Park. It took the suffocating isolationism of Hayden's lyrics and finally let it transcend the minimalist structures of his first two LPs, allowing it room to breathe and explode across songs like the noisy and gorgeous "Dynamite Walls." But those elements disappeared a bit through the follow-up, become a member or log in.
