Phosphorescent :: Athens Southern Warble

Presently touring the West coast (played L.A.'s Hotel Cafe' last night) is Matthew Houck, aka Phosphorescent, out of Athens, GA. Imagine a younger Will Oldham and you're on the right track. Houck & co. have a new album out on Misra Records, entitled Aw Come Aw Wry, further illustrating the Athens music scene is alive and doing very well. Read what CMJ said : "The songs of . . .

Lemonheads :: Stove (1990)

This was the first Lemonheads song I heard at 15 ,back in 1991, on a mix-tape (remember those?) a girl had made for me. Awww. And though Evan and the band went on to make more polished/professional recordings, this may remain my favorite track. Stove is off the 1990 album Lovey, but I first heard it on the become a member or log in.

Happy Thanksgiving :: Alice’s Restaurant

I grew up in Atlanta, and every Thanksgiving as far back as I can remember, one of the local FM radio stations would play Alice's Restaurant...all 18+ minutes of it. Sometimes several times throughout the day. I can't speak for the rest of the album

AC/DC :: Channeled Through Mark Kozelek

Oddly enough this is the Kozelek album that really got me hooked on his voice and arrangements. Prior to this, I wouldn't have imagined someone could craft these gems out of a handful of old AC/DC songs from the late '70s. Then again, I hadn't heard Mark Kozelek yet. Little did I know this is the man's stock 'n trade . . .

Get To Know :: Swedes Please

An MP3/Music blog that has really grabbed my attention lately is Swedes Please. Brought to us by the same folks (Craig) who also manages the excellent Songs: Illinois blog, SP focuses on new and up-coming regional artists. Self described as: "Mp3's from Swedish bands. Mostly singing in . . .

McCartney :: Between The Bands

When it comes to the post-Beatles output I am a Lennon/Harrison kinda guy. But that is not to say Paul did not have some great things to say as well, in particular his first solo album simply entitled McCartney. It was recorded before the Beatles disbanded while on holiday on a 4-track in his living room with wife Linda. The first track below . . .

Lou Reed’s New York State of Mind…

Here are two tracks that have been circulating in my iTunes the past couple of weeks. I don't know the remainder of the tracks on the Street Hassle lp, but the New York album is classic Lou Reed-styled romanticism. Dirty . . .

The White Foliage :: The Zurich Album

Fall Records is hot right now. Between Page France and now The White Foliage they are getting quite a bit of airplay in and around the Drunkard's L.A. home office. Mrs. Satisfied and I like this one quite a bit, & would deem it a morning/night album, best enjoyed with nothing much going on . . .

Modest Mouse :: Tiny Cites Re-revisited

I am very much taken with Sun Kil Moon's latest covers album Tiny Cities (even more so than when I posted about it earlier this month). Kozelek creates such unique interpretations that I have had to go back and dig out my Modest Mouse records -- it's been fascinating to compare/contrast the two. That being said, here are a couple of the original MM tracks on . . .

The Velvet Underground :: Peel Slowly Demos

Check out these initial VU demos off their Peel Slowly and See box set. All rough and stripped down early takes. I'm Waiting For The Man has a particularly interesting arrangement...almost rock-a-billy.DOWNLOAD:MP3: The Velvet Underground - Venus In Furs (demo)MP3:
