This album has that old school blue-eyed soul Dusty In Memphis feel to it -- which I couldn't be more excited for. Side up to this with a plate of Rendezvous ribs, cornbread and a beer. Curious as to how this will play with her present fan . . .

Few bands/artists shaped the way I look at music more than Fugazi did at 16 in 1991 - continuing until today. Visceral, intense, unforgiving, original -- all the while acting independent from the mainstream. While the band came under attack from a portion of their audience as their sound slowed and mellowed, they seemed to stay right in step with my expanding tastes. Or vice versa. You really can't scream forever. Here are some tracks . . .

I loved The Squid & The Whale's soundtrack, but was even more taken with it when I saw the credits roll and learned it was scored by none other than Dean Wareham & Britta Phillips. Next to become a member or log in.
The Mendoza Line have a new album out November 22nd entitled Full of Light and Full of Fire. The album is self-described as "a startling meditation on the abuse of power and those who are left in its wake: the spiritually and economically disenfranchised, the isolated and ruined, those who are lost or are simply trying to disappear." Sounds deeeep. Here is an overview to get . . .

I've now had two weeks to soak up the pre-release of Rocinate (1/06 release date). It's electronica-tinged-Oklahoman-modern-folk jams should prove worth the wait. My knowledge of this group was cursory at best prior to this album, but I'm now full on board.

"Born in 2004 Los Angeles, CA: Letting Up Despite Great Faults -- Some have said that this music paints for them green hills and lush forests, while many have agreed that the songs are just simply beautiful. m.Lee deftly interweaves piano and guitar with intelligently sequenced patterns of electronic drums and analog sounds to form the beautiful and often picturesque organic/electronic sound that is Letting Up. In addition, there is a talented roster of players in this very unique . . .

Anyone who has seen the classic Athens, GA music documentary Athens, Georgia: Inside/Out (1986) will no doubt remember (their name at least) the Squalls. Part of the burgeoning early '80s scene that birthed The B-52's, Flat-Duo Jets, R.E.M, & Pylon, the Squalls remained in obscurity. On become a member or log in.
This post is a little tardy, as I meant to get on it after reading medication a few weeks ago. The '01 re-issue of Dream Syndicate's The Days of Wine & Roses album has 7 bonus tracks -- all worth your time. This track has been on the radio to the right the past 10 days too if you want a sample before downloading. DOWNLOAD:

Not the first Galaxie 500 posting here at the Drunkard, but this is the first topical Galaxie 500 post. By that I mean Galaxie 500's Peel Sessions will see an official release date November 14, 2005 -- eight tracks spanning the groups '89 & '90 sessions recorded for the BBC's Radio One John Peel Show. A must-have for completists. Below are two cuts of the disc, both thoughtful eclectic covers. DOWNLOAD:MP3: become a member or log in.
I predict this album will generate a fair amount of initial fanfare. First, it's an album made up entirely of covers from one of the more successful "indie" bands of the past five years. Second, those who know/love Mark Kozelek's work (either from Red House Painters, become a member or log in.
Crosby in 1970. This was his finest hour -- his first solo album. Contributing guests include: Jerry Garcia, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Phil Lesh, Graham Nash, etc etc. If you too enjoy this album, drop me a comment. I think it's fantastic....loose, creative...embodies the early '70s in California perfectly.DOWNLOAD:MP3:
