Knock My Teeth Out, Make Way For The Gold

Boss Hog Jon Spencer Blues ExplosionPosted on

"Knock My Teeth Out, Make Way For The Gold..." -- Boss Hog, 'I Dig You'

In the early-mid '90s, while I was knee deep into the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, this "side project" by Spencer and his wife Christina Martinez was a god send. It called itself Boss Hog, and was a mixture of the JSBX's trademark howling and rock & roll sneer, coupled with a punkish pop sheen that made things all the more bizarre and messier.

In my . . .

The Great Outdoors :: Food, Booze & Entertainment

The Great OutdoorsPosted on

4-5 weeks ago, out of (seemingly) nowhere, I received The Great Outdoors new album Food, Booze & Entertainment. Apparently Songs:Illinois did as well (and was similarly impressed). Released early spring via the Canadian label DDG Records, the album/book combo has been an unexpected treat over the past month. This is rugged folk I plan on listening to a . . .

Allman Brothers NicoPosted on

Bluesy, languid and slow, Gregg Allman's 1973 solo debut, Laid Back, comes off exactly as its title infers. Recorded after the deaths of his brother, Duane, and the . . .

Nilsson :: The Point (Me And My Arrow) 1971

Harry NilssonPosted on

"I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it.'" -- Harry Nilsson

There was no way I could quit at just one Nilsson post this week, so here is number two. Bolstered by the recent Nilsson documentary, Who is Harry Nilsson (And Why is . . .

Sub Pop has just recently made the title track off the new Iron & Wine single, Boy With A Coin, available for download. As a certified Iron & Wine freak, I have been talking this thing up to anyone who will listen the past couple of weeks, so I'm glad I can . . .

Who Is Harry Nilsson? :: The Documentary

Harry NilssonPosted on

"Harry was a big bunny....with very sharp teeth." -- Paul Williams (songwriter & friend)

Harry Edward Nilsson III (June 15, 1941 — January 15, 1994) -- Over this past weekend I had the opportunity to check out a screening of the new Harry Nilsson documentary Who is Harry Nilsson (And Why is Everybody Talkin' About Him)? at the Egyptian Theatre, in Hollywood. It was outstanding; both perversely fascinating, and heartbreaking, and much like Nilsson's music, at exactly the same time.

Spoon :: Live @ Little Radio 7/16

Spoon brought the heat last night to their "secret" show at the Little Radio warehouse in downtown Los Angeles. Literally. Two steps inside the brick-walled building, and the temperature rose a good 25 degrees. Nevertheless, the at capacity crowd swilled Dewars and listened to special guest, John Vanderslice, perform material off his upcoming album

King Tubby Meets The Aggrovators at Dub Station

Reggae/DubPosted on

Heads Up: We have something very exciting in the works with Trojan Records in correlation with their 40th anniversary. Details to come, but the long and short of it is that Drunkard readers will have the opportunity to win classic reggae and dub releases from the vast Trojan catalog. As you're well aware, I rarely do giveaways unless they are truly great -- like this one. Stay tuned for the details.

In the meantime I wanted to direct your attention to the labels recent release, become a member or log in.

Harlan T. Bobo :: I’m Your Man

Harlan T. BoboPosted on

Memphis TN's Harlan T. Bobo has a new album out later this month (July 17th); it's called I'm Your Man, continuing where the excellent Too Much Love left off. Part of Harlan's draw, as an artist, has been the mystery surrounding him and his work. Having said that, listen to the interview (below) he did with BTR at your own risk.

The Rolling Stones :: Rock And Roll Circus (1968)

Rolling StonesPosted on

First off, tip of the hat to public television (and radio) who consistently provide quality non-commercial programming. I make a point to support these, and the most recent reminder of why was randomly catching The Rolling Stones 1968 Rock And Roll Circus on L.A.'s PBS affiliate the other night. I had not seen this in some time and it was . . .

Bob Marley & The Wailers :: Radio Session 1973

Reggae/DubPosted on

"One Good Thing About Music, When It Hits You Feel No Pain. So Hit Me With Music..."

In an effort to highlight reggae and dub that's a bit outside of the mainstream, I had inadvertently never featured Bob Marley on the Drunkard's pages in the past 2+ years. I am going to seriously remedy that today with this classic radio session (allegedly) recorded in Sausalito, CA in 1973 (I say this because when I was originally given the CDR in the late '90s, it was labeled as such, but I have since prowled . . .
