Vic Chesnutt :: North Star Deserter

UncategorizedPosted on

On a different level, Vic Chesnutt's musical collaborators and co-conspirators, over the past 15 years, are almost as interesting and varied as the southern Gothic bard's lyrical imagery itself. Always one for experimentation, the artist has collaborated with, among others: Van Dyke Parks, Lambchop, Michael Stipe, Will Johnson, Widespread Panic, and Bill Frisell. I could easily go on.

Here, on North Star Deserter, his fourteenth album, Chesnutt . . .

Wes Anderson :: A Soundtrack Enthusiast

Wes AndersonPosted on

How many times, so far, have you watched Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited trailer? I think here at the A.D. home offices we are up to around, oh, ten, give or take a few.

Back in 2005 Wes Anderson was the first filmmaker profiled in our (presently on hiatus) series A Soundtrack Enthusiast. For those of you who were not reading back then, we've dusted this one off, and updated it with The Kinks track "This Time Tomorrow"

The Yardbirds – Stroll On (From Blow Up – 1966)

The YardbirdsPosted on

Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni's film Blow Up, from 1966, left a lasting impression on me. Its depiction of mod-cool, sixties London, is aesthetically on point throughout its entirety -- and that's not even taking in consideration the actual (murder mystery) plot, which itself is both meandering (in the style of sixties art-house) and engrossing.

Will OldhamPosted on

Zach Galifianakis & Will Oldham's video of Kanye's "Can't Tell Me Nothing" looks like it could be the bastard child of Oldham's "Cursed Sleep" video from 2006. Let's get weird. (via: Culture Bully
