It's safe to say Judd Apatow's new film, Knocked Up, is most definitely one of the funniest mainstream flicks I have seen this year. Highly, highly recommended. Also recommended is Drunkard favorite Loudon Wainwrights III's contributions to the film's soundtrack; the tracks "Grey In L.A." and "Daughter," both of which roll during the end credits and can be found . . .

Earlier last week AD friend, and fellow Lucero enthusiast, Muzzle of Bees, turned us on to the new Ben Nichols track "Dog Day Night" off of the new Thick Syrup Records Arkansas Compilation. The track has a fantastically rough Mississippi Delta vibe to it expertly anchored by Nichols trademark growl and sparse, nasty back porch electric blues guitar.

I, like many of you, am a fairly ardent fan of Broken Social Scene, but really, who isn't? It's the collectives various solo spin-offs that have, for the most part, left me a little cold.

Last week, while on vacation, I was recommended Yeasayer with a caveat along the lines of 'imagine TV By Radio if fronted by Genesis era Peter Gabriel.' Sold. Having no official release, the MP3s found on Yeasayer's MySpace page accompanied me, along with Cormac McCarthy's grim novel The . . .

I loaned my vinyl copy of Cal Tjader's album Soul Sauce to a friend a few weeks ago and since then I have seen/heard it seemingly everywhere (including one of my SIRIUS shows). Must be the Tjader collective consciousness at work. You know how he do.
