Howe Gelb/Scout Niblett :: I Want Candy/Medley

If you follow blogs, chances are you have seen, Portland, OR resident, Scout Niblett's name popping up here and there during the past month (or, say, in advertisements -- like the one to the right), and rightly so. I first heard her voice on the duet she did with Howe Gelb a little while back, via the medley "I Want Candy/I Know What Boys Want/Who Do You Love/Not Fade Away." Yeah, it's a mouthful, but . . .

Dylan :: Retrospective Box Giveaway

Last week the Bob Dylan canon saw yet another re-packing; this time in the form of DYLAN, a career-spanning three disc retrospective chronicling the artist's four decades of studio recordings. While Dylan purists and pundits will undoubtedly own the majority of the albums these tracks are pulled from, the set does lay . . .

Off The Record :: Division Day (Los Angeles, CA)

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.

This week we catch up with Ryan, from

Steve Earle :: Washington Square Serenade

"The city hasn't changed as much as real estate agents would have you believe," Steve Earle explains about his adopted hometown of New York City. "Specifically, my neighborhood hasn't changed that much. I point people in the right direction so that they can take their picture like the cover of Freewheelin' all the time." -- Steve Earle

The Speakers :: Yeats Is Greats…

Although San Francisco's The Speakers released their last LP Yeats Is Greats at the end of 2005, it was not until discovering Speakers side-project, The Lightening Bug Situation, that I became familar their music. If you enjoyed the Lightning Bug stuff, the following comes highly recommended.

José Gonzî¡lez :: In Our Nature

To dismiss José Gonzî¡lez as just another tired, folk-based, singer-songwriter is to miss the point entirely. Granted, since the beginning of the decade, the resurgence of the 'quiet is the new loud' aesthetic has churned out some questionable talent, but, thankfully, Gonzî¡lez's schtizz trumps any such description.

Morrissey, You’re Killing Me

Just got back from a lunch meeting (at the Mama Mia cafe, on Vermont. Go for the breakfast...delish), and the conversation turned to Morrissey's upcoming, Los Angeles, muti-night stint, effectively closing the Hollywood Palladium (est. 1940). And, by "multi-night," I mean ten nights, between October 1 - 13th. Anyone going to this?
