The Wednesday prior to SXSW, Robert Fisher from the Willard Grant Conspiracy stopped by the Aquarium Drunkard show, on Little Radio, for an in depth interview as well as treating us to a few acoustic tracks both on and off the new LP Let It Roll.

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 . . .

This demo of "Casimir Pulaski" (the original found on 2005's Illinoise's) hit the Internets a little over a month ago, but it wasn't until last week that I finally gave it a listen. And then I listened five times in a row.

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.

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 . . .

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 . . .

Now that the ink on the contract is dry, I want to announce the news that Aquarium Drunkard is teaming up with Sirius satellite radio.
Beginning mid-April, Friday evenings, Sirius subscribers will be able to listen to my new two hour show on channel 26, Left of Center.
An Aquarium Drunkard is the latest to join the ranks . . .

As previously reported, Yer Bird Records just released their excellent, newly compiled folk comp entitled, wait for it, Folk Music for the End of the World! How great -- and fitting -- is that title?
Even better than the comp's title (not to mention the album artwork by Kathleen Lolly) is the compilations artist lineup; featuring all new and/or unreleased material from . . .

It's no secret I have an interest in the late sixties, early seventies Laurel Canyon/L.A. music scene; even today, living in Los Angeles, you occasionally catch a glimpse of its past, be it an aging bungalow, a street, or the hills themselves.
Being long before my time, in an effort to get closer to the tunes themselves, I have consumed a number of books, biographies and random accounts of the era, as the contrasting shades of light and dark in the music, an obvious reflection of the times, fascinate me.
An example of this contrast can be . . .

As you may have guessed from previous SXSW entries, as a whole, my favorite *night* of music, in retrospect, would have to have been the Secretly Canadian - Jagjaguwar showcase. No surprise there as they are, collectively, one of my very favorite labels releasing contemporary music today.
New to the Jagjaguwar roster is Quebec’s The Besnard Lakes
