In the 21st century, this fact alone adds yet another element of retro-cool to . . .

Spoon :: 9/11 @ The Fonda – Los Angeles

Wednesday afternoon we made our way over to the CBS studios off Beverly and Fairfax, to catch Spoon do a live taping on the Late Late Show. Not surprisingly the band was super-tight, with a horn section in tow, performing "You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb" off their latest album become a member or log in.

Off The Record :: Doveman (Kathmandu)

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.

Bonnie “Prince” Billy :: Little Lost Blues

As a longtime Will Oldham fan, the 2006 LP, The Letting Go, recorded under his Bonnie "Prince" Billy moniker, quickly rose to the top, becoming one of my favorite albums of that year. What I was unaware of at the time, though, was that a limited number of copies, of the album, came with the bonus collection Little Lost Blues, the third installment in a series of compilations collecting Oldham . . .
