So, unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Will Johnson and company will be making an appearance at SXSW this year; not under the guise of Centro-matic, or South San Gabriel, that is. If I am wrong about this, by all means, let me know. (Secret show?)

Alright, as I am sure some of you have noticed, the past week was rife with instances of the site being down, dead links, etc. We just switched over to a new host and (with a little luck) hope that will be the end of the downtimes, broken links, etc. If you do notice anything broken, or out of the ordinary, on the Drunkard, please hit us up via email so everything can get back to normal. Many thanks to Sean at Absolute Design for his technical prowess, response time . . .

Mixtapes and compilations, curated by artists I admire, have always appealed to me in a voyeuristic/curio type of way. For the music junkie, it's a little bit akin to peering into a sliver of ones soul. Jonny Greenwood, of Radiohead acclaim, sees his

Last summer I spent the better part of two and half months traveling around the country with my wife and a healthy music collection. Two of the most listened to albums were The Sound And The Hare Heard Kill Rock Stars compilation, and the Asthmatic Kitty Mews Too compilation. Both, similarly, are rooted in . . .

Secretly Canadian, Jagjaguwar, (and now with the recent addition of Dean Oceans), have label wise, seen a huge increase in my listening habits the past couple of years. As brief overview, the increasingly eclectic Indiana based label collective have released albums by the likes of: Pink Mountaintops, Catfish Haven, Jens Lekman, Magnolia Electric Co., Songs: Ohia, David Vandervelde, Damien Jurado, and the Danielson Famile -- and that's just to name a handful.

Back in my Athens days, while attending the University of Georgia, I worked at a little record store in the middle of downtown on Clayton street. Of the many artists/albums I was turned onto via the staff and customers, the one that stands out most in my mind is the classic 1978 Steve Martin stand-up album Let's Get Small . . .

I initially raved about Denmark's Slaraffenland a little over a year ago when the group first released their excellent Jinkatawa ep on the Honningmand label. Comprised of only four songs, Jinkatawa was a clear and concise statement of controlled improvisation and experimentalist art rock.
Earlier this week I opened my mailbox, and to my . . .

The pairing up of music legends with contemporary popular musicians is nothing new, but rarely has it been done so well, and with as much class as the new self-titled Charlie Louvin album. Almost three months into 2007, the Tompkins Square label has quite possibly unleashed the most interesting duets album of the year.

For crate diggers, hunting down Howard Tate vinyl can be seen as an adventure, a lovable undertaking. For the those looking for the rare, mostly import, Tate compact discs, the process is more akin to an exercise in frustration.

Not that it really ever gets cold here in L.A., but yeah, it can get a little nippy from time to time. You know, cold, like, er, 60 degrees cold. A ha ha ha….anyway. A surefire way to warm up, at least around my house, is the Ghana Soundz 2: Afro-Beat Funk & Fusion in 70s compilation. That’s how we do anyway . . .

I've been looking forward to Ben Weaver's upcoming album, Paper Sky, since last spring when I received an unsolicited, unmastered three song sampler in the mail culled from his (then) just recorded sessions with producer Brian Deck. As I wrote last May, Weaver's tunes are a stark reminder of why I try and listen to every CD that . . .
