Sixties French Freakbeat :: Now Hear These

UncategorizedPosted on March 24, 2007

Last week in Austin I was often asked what I've been listening to lately. My reply was/is: this excellent, yet shitty sounding, bootleg compilation of vinyl rips of 1960s French Freakbeat tracks I happened upon about a year ago.

Unfortunately, that is about the extent of my knowledge of the recordings as little information was to be found scouring the net. Although, I did like become a member or log in.

Bob Dylan :: Don’t Look Back (Deluxe DVD)

UncategorizedPosted on March 23, 2007May 24, 2022

I spent last night taking the alternate cut of D.A. Pennebaker's career defining Dylan documentary Don't Look Back, which is included in the - just released - Don't Look Back deluxe DVD package. Entitled '65 Revisited, the film is made up of outtakes from the 1965 tour through England . . .

Page France…and The Family Telephone

UncategorizedPosted on March 23, 2007March 23, 2007

Longtime Drunkard favorite Page France will be releasing an album via Suicide Squeeze on May 8th, and (you guessed it) fresh from a string of dates at SXSW, are now making their way up the West coast.

If you are unfamiliar with the Maryland based group, imagine the folkier elements (Neutral Milk) of the Elephant Six Collective and you're on the right track . . .

SXSW :: White Denim (New EP)

UncategorizedPosted on March 22, 2007March 22, 2007

So. Pardon my french, but White Denim proved to be the shit at this years SXSW. The were definitely one of the more talked up acts on everyone's lips (along with bbq sauce) at night during dinner while comparing notes from the various day shows.

The momentum and buzz couldn't happen at a better time for the group, as they are set to release their new 7" entitled

Gonzalez / O’Halloran :: Solo Piano

UncategorizedPosted on March 21, 2007

Oddly, I stumbled upon the U.S. release of Gonzalez's Solo Piano album, and Dustin O'Halloran's 2000 album Piano Solos, within two days of one another. Funny how these things often happen. Serendipity, indeed.

The Gospel According To Johnny Cash

UncategorizedPosted on March 21, 2007March 26, 2007

When I think I of Gospel music, two things from my childhood immediately come to mind: 1) the old-timey Gospel vinyl records my grandparents would play on their aged, multi-disc, turntable after church while preparing lunch, and 2) the Elvis and Johnny Cash Gospel records I got to know through my parent’s record collection.

The Presley and Cash recordings, while both . . .

That Horse Yonder :: Sparklehorse Tribute

UncategorizedPosted on March 21, 2007March 22, 2007

I've been pretty excited by this Sparklehorse tribute since I first heard about it last Fall. The Slight Records release is a compilation of 20+ artists celebrating the work of Sparklehorse's Mark Linkous. You can pre-order the album for eight bucks HERE.

This Travel By Sea cover of "Return To Me" is pretty amazing -- big thanks to the folks at

Gillian Welch :: Black Star (Radiohead Cover)

UncategorizedPosted on March 20, 2007December 3, 2018

You may remember I featured Gillian Welch's genre bending cover of Radiohead's "Black Star" a couple of years ago while the Drunkard blog was still in it's infancy. If you grabbed it back then, cheers, if not, this re-up is for you.

SXSW :: The Rosebuds (New Album)

While The Rosebuds 2005 album Birds Make Good Neighbors received near unanimous critical accolades across the board, I have a sneaking suspicion 2007 might be real Rosebuds coming out party, judging by the buzz surrounding their performances at SXSW. become a member or log in.

SXSW :: Steve Earle (Friday Night)

UncategorizedPosted on March 20, 2007May 10, 2022

According to the Austin grapevine, Steve Earle flew in strictly for the single solo show he did at The Parish Room Friday evening before heading back to NYC to continue working on his upcoming album. Thank you, Steve Earle.

Armed with only an acoustic guitar, Earle discreetly took the stage at the packed New West showcase, and with a single strum of his guitar quieted the at-capacity crowd. The obvious . . .

SXSW :: Bishop Allen (Thurs/Friday)

UncategorizedPosted on March 19, 2007March 20, 2007

One of the many bands I had been looking forward to seeing in Austin was Brooklyn's uber-prolific Bishop Allen. As many of you music blog readers (have no doubt) read countless times over the course of the past year, the band self-released an EP every month of '06. The material the EPs produced was surprisingly solid for the most part, and as of this year they have signed with the newly minted Dead Oceans label with an . . .

SXSW :: Richard Swift (Thursday Night)

UncategorizedPosted on March 19, 2007March 19, 2007

Have you seen Richard Swift in a live setting?? If not, make it a high priority on your to-do list. I was pretty much blown away by the show with his full band Thursday evening at The Mohawk, and from the looks of the crowd (a veritible "who's who" in indie rock) so was everyone else. When the band broke into the sugar sweet pop perfection of the chug-a-long "Most . . .

SXSW :: The Whigs (Thursday)

UncategorizedPosted on March 19, 2007June 2, 2022

Oooo weee...back home in L.A., and as expected, SXSW, and Austin in general, did not disappoint. The four days and nights of music, old (and new) friends, bbq and beer, coupled with agreeable weather, made for another excellent SXSW experience. I'll be posting more detailed thoughts from the festival throughout the week, but in the meantime here are some notes I had jotted down about Thursday's events in Austin.

SXSW 2007 :: Heading To Austin

UncategorizedPosted on March 14, 2007

Team Drunkard is about to head out the door to catch a plane to Austin for this year's SXSW festivities. Therefore, things will no doubt be a little quiet around here, BUT, you can keep up with my adventures, and a gaggle of other folks', via the Rough Mix SXSW blog. I should be doing brief posts over there about three times per day describing what's going on downtown in the clubs and the at day parties. Bring on . . .
