Black Mountain :: Tyrants
No matter the vehicle, whether it's performing under the guise of Pink Mountaintops, Jerk With A Bomb, or in this case Black Mountain, we are big fans of Stephen McBean. Jajaguar just released the first track off the band's upcoming, sophomore, release entitled In The . . .

Frankel :: Love Leash (B-Side)
Earlier this year, L.A. based singer/songwriter Frankel (Michael Orendy) released what has become one of our very favorite albums of 2007 - Lullaby For The Passerby. An absolute must for fans of Nilsson, Lennon/McCartney, et al.
Below is the b-side "Love Leash," plus two tracks off Lullaby

Thanksgiving :: Alice’s Restaurant
I grew up in Atlanta, and every Thanksgiving as far back as I can remember, one of the local FM radio stations would play "Alice’s Restaurant" in its entirety - all 18+ minutes of it - several times throughout the day. As traditions go, it was a fine one, and now in our third year, the song has become an AD Thanksgiving tradition, and will remain so for as long as the Drunkard is online.
Oh, and since it is Thanksgiving, many thanks to all . . .

All The Young Dudes :: The Mott vs. David Bowie
In keeping with this weeks Bowie vibe, here is a re-post from last May. Also, have you noticed the prominent use of the Mott's "All The Young Dudes" in the Juno trailer??

Off The Record :: Ham 1 (Athens, GA)
Off The Record is a recurring, feature here on the Drunkard, that marries two of my greatest interests; music and travel. Having a locals perspective when visiting a new locale is the difference between experiencing it through the lens of a tourist and of that of a native.
Off The Record gathers some of my favorite artists, asks them to reflect on their city of residence, and choose a handful of places they could not live without, be them bookstores, bars, restaurants or vistas.

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings
Released in October, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings 100 Days, 100 Nights is an incredibly soulful album that in a perfect world would be topping the charts. Whether flying solo or backing Ms. Jones, Brooklyn's The Dap-Kings, the house band for Daptone Records, never fail to deliver the impeccable soul and funk chops that seemed to . . .

Moonage Daydream: Life & Times of Ziggy Stardust
Last week I missed Of Montreal's return trip to Los Angeles, as I had to unexpectedly leave town. I was especially looking forward to Kevin Barnes vamping on ziggy-era Bowie. It goes a little something like this...

Bobby Bare Jr. :: Sister Golden Hair (Cover)
In response to our last two SIRIUS shows, the AD home office has received many a request for this unreleased Bobby Bare Jr. cover of America's "Sister Golden Hair." In Bare Jr.'s able hands, this (mildly cheesy) classic, soft-rock, radio staple is quietly transformed into an affecting, folk laden, classic.

The Whigs :: 11/13 @ Spaceland, Los Angeles
I have mixed feelings about the term garage rock. While, at times, it’s certainly the best way to describe a sound, it’s nebulous and somewhat recklessly tossed around to define the indefinable. I also feel that it can create an implied ceiling for a band or artist’s potential. Because how far can a ragtag group of garage dwellers go? It often hints of unpolished, messy riffs bouncing off trash cans, house paints and your little brother’s bicycle. That can seem more like a summer chore than music.
That said, there are plenty of great . . .

Some Folks Call It a Sling Blade…
...and some folks, when called upon, cannot name you the titles of their favorite films. I am not one of those people; as for me, when it comes to the last ten years, or so, the answer is unequivocally Billy Bob Thornton's Sling Blade, followed closely by David Gordon Green's All The Real Girls; both southern Gothic tales set in the new south. But . . .
