Grinderman :: Self Titled Growling

As mentioned earlier, I was pretty ecstatic when "Get It On" and "No Pussy Blues" surfaced on the Internets earlier in the year. It was as if Nick Cave hopped in a time machine and set the gears for 1982. Super raunchy. Shortly afterwards I received an advance of the LP and have been thoroughly digging since.

The thing about this album, and I discussed this with a friend the other night, is that Grinderman

Tandemoro :: Don’t Judge Me, It’s Christmas

Last December, a few days before catching a flight back east for the holidays, I received a package in the mail from the Tandemoro "Mikes" (Mike Schanzlin & Mike Griffin). In it, was a photo of them sitting a bar, looking appropriately holiday-forlorn, wearing complimentary natty '80s Christmas sweaters, and a CD that said "Merry Christmas from Mike & Mike."

You can now download the EP - plus two additional covers - for free, via their website; here's some details . . .

This one goes out to mister J Reed.

Richard Buckner, aided by backing band Six Parts Seven, made it happen last night at The Echo on Sunset. The artist's trademark warble and heart wrenching lyrics were in full swing as he worked his way through material ranging from 2006's Meadow

David Crosby :: 1970 Session Outtakes

Repost: Back by popular demand -- Crosby's 1970 outakes (aka, Perro tapes)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of my favorite LP's from the early '70s is David Crosby's underrated masterpiece "If I Could Only Remember My Name?" A fully realized embodiment of the "sound" of California's folk/rock/country/psychedelia movement of the . . .

Frankel :: Lullaby For The Passerby

Spring has sprung, and all that jazz, so Frankel's dreamy indie-pop charms are well suited for the weather.

Other than the quality of the music itself, all you really need to know is: Frankel is the nom de plume for L.A.'s Michael Orendy, who plays and produces everything on his new LP Lullaby For The Passerby.

Absolutely an artist to watch out for in 2007.

I’m Driving A Stolen Car On A Pitch Black Night

About four years ago I made a two disc alt.country-folk compilation, for friends, entitled "Downer Country." If I ever find a copy of it I might post it on the Drunkard for posterity.

Anyway, one one of the cornerstone tracks off the comp was Patty Griffin's sparse, haunting cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Stolen Car." If at all curious, don't hesitate to check this out. It's the essence of an excellent . . .

Ghosts of the Great Highway :: 2007 Reissue

If you just read the above headline and asked yourself, "Wait, a reissue? Didn't that album just come out a few years ago?" You would indeed be correct, as Sun Kil Moon's Ghosts of The Great Highway was released in 2003 on Jet Set Records, who apparently dropped the ball . . .
